Description
Built to place at the beginning of city construction, this simple intersection provides a small neighborhood with expressway access. Connects to a one-way grid on each side of the expressway.

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

Advantages:
+ No weaving
+ Inexpensive
+ Built out of the simplest and most available roadways: 2-lane roads and 2-lane 1-way roads
+ Upgrades to expressways and ramps.
+ Compact
+ No wasted space: 5x4 zonable areas or 6x5 service areas (remove the dirt paths)
+ Frontage road provides local return route for one way grid without crossing the overpasses.
+ Simple overpasses, easy to place on most terrain
+ Easy to build over an existing expressway.

Disadvantages:
- Low traffic volume. Supports the traffic of a few small neighborhoods or industrial/commercial zones.
- Short, sharp ramps

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

Cost: ₡9,960
Upkeep: ₡82 / week

Works extremely well until around 25K population. At that point, the ramps are too short, and traffic backs up onto the highway. Regardless, this is fantastic. I have made my best city yet using this as a starter.

The good news about the disadvantages, is that this is EASY to demolish and replace with something better once you know what you need instead.

The space in the middle also forces a good gameplay behavior on the player, of not cluttering your connector roads with development (which a lot of people do, then wonder why their connector roads are loaded with traffic).

Awesome idea! I'll be using this at the start of all of my new cities.
