Description
People living in Toronto will probably recognize one of these! Basketweaves aren't really "interchanges", but more like a transition piece for vehicles shifting between collector/express lanes. Works great for expansive, cross-city motorway systems. In the real world, basketweaves are, well, sort of rare. There aren't that many places where they're actually needed. A few exceptions would be Toronto's Highway 401 (busiest road in the world), Autoroute 1 north of Paris, and Rijksweg 4 east of Den Haag.

==================================================================

Advantages/Disadvantages:
I don't really know what to put in here. As far as I know, it's the only design in use for connecting collector/express systems, except for custom ramp layouts. Well, it's... um... It has no weaving! That's always an appreciated thing, isn't it?

==================================================================

Cost: 21 650
Upkeep: 279 / week

@timekiller5392 thanks for clearing up what it does! Now i know how to use it.

To be honest, these are quite realistic considering I'm a former Toronto resident. (Your also right about the 401 in Toronto being extremely busy, that's the main reason we moved from there)

Upon further review, perhaps this interchange design could be tweaked so that either the inner or outer pair of roads could be elevated, possibly cutting down on size costs, and allowing roads to easily slip underneath the elevated pair of roads? I could totally see this interchange design being used well wherever an elevated highway runs parallel to the main road of a district.

Nice addition! I've been on them many times in TO. Now I just pay for the 407 to avoid 401. It's getting as bad as the DVP!!!

Why it doesn't have a thumbnail in the games?

This is the best interchange i have found so far! just change the incoming roads to 4 lanes (3 going on, 1 going off) and this thing will absolutely work wonders

Bascially how this is used is if you want to have a highway going through your city, but want to be cautious of traffic, instead of using one way 3-6 lane highways you can create two parallel highway segments going in one direction. typically in america the center one is express outer is local. Your local side will have a lot of interchanges that lead into various areas into your city, while your express may only have one or two to allow a constant flow of vehicles that don't need the frequent exits. this interchange is how you get from express to local or vise versa. If you need an example of something similar use google to look at the NJ Turnpike.

I know it's not a video but it's at least some kind of explanation. Now because of the "AI" for vehicles it might not work the same, but worth a shot.

Does anyone have a video explaining how this is used?

Rescue 401 has killed a lot of background noise on my Netflix man, I feel this.
