A2021 Single Point Urban Interchange (S.P.U.I.)

Description
This is a Single Point Urban Interchange or S.P.U.I.. It's a 'service interchange', connecting a highway to a regular road network.

This interchange has traffic from all four directions meet in the centre at a single intersection. Because of the additional ramps leading traffic to the right without having to cross this intersection, the traffic lights only have three steps in a full cycle (if properly set up). This interchange need some TLC from TM:PE. But if properly set up (follow screenshots) this interchange can handle lots of traffic!!

- Cost: 42.840,-
- Maintenance: 594,-
- Size: 108x60
- Max. height: 10m
- Min. height: ground level
- Nodecount: 33
- Lane mathematics are applied for a good traffic flow.
- Lane connections have been applied.
- No clipping lightposts/streetlights (lights going through roads situated above them)

- As always; flatten the entire area the blueprint/template covers.
- Use TM:PE's 'Junction Restrictions' tool to remove crosswalks and allow through movements (see screenshots)
- I advise to put a 'Timed Traffic Light' on the intersections and set them up as shown in the screenshots.

Because '3-lane highways' are the most commonly used highway type on maps, I've created this interchange to be connected (the highway ends on the interchange) to these 3-lane highways. The 4th lane on the 4-lane highways are used as exit and entry lanes.

Note: I've used the mod called 'Road Options' to make the roads look darker. With this mod you can alter the road colors of all the roads in your city with ease. Link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=932192868&searchtext=road+options

Enjoy!


Want to know how 'Lane mathemetics' work and how to use the functions of TM:PE? I recommend watching some of Biffa's traffic fixing video's on Youtube

@Dave: I'll see if I got some time for that this weekend. In the meantime I'd like you to try for yourself. The intersection in the middle has a 'three-step' cycle.

#1: A green light for both off-ramps onto the collector. The rest is red.
#2: A green light for south to north (on the collector). The rest is red.
#3: A green light for north to south (on the collector). The rest is red.

Flow sensitivity set to 0.2
Min time: 3
Max time: 12
'More waiting than driving' seelcted.

Howdy, again! :) I've been on a big expansion & tearing out of old interchanges to replace them with several of yours. I was just wondering if you could be persuaded to add some pics showing timing for the timed traffic signal that I expect is supposed to be in the middle of this? :D

I love this, we have these up north where I live, only thing is when getting of the highway, you can immediately get back on but going left straight to the on ramp as you are getting off. I'll probably change that on mine :P Thanks for all these amazing interchanges though!

@cbow1978: Thanks for the comment, glad you like it! Without making any promises, I'll see what I can do in terms of making a smaller version.

This is my go to interchange. Very efficient with traffic. I'd love to see a smaller or condensed version as well. Perhaps a two or three lane highway interchange with a 4 lane road. But this interchange is really fantastic.
