Snowfractal 6 way interchange

Description
Snowfractal is a 6 way interchange without any conflict (no lane merging or weaving), which means it will work flawlessly if you use 6 lane highways from network extension 2 at all ends. It is just 2 levels and has gentle slopes, so it can be used very easily at most places. The size is rather large due to it. There are interchanges which are smaller, but they require like 6 levels and highways will end up needing same amount of space to come down to ground level or first elevated level.

There are left side exit/entry, and undesirable as it is in real life, there is no way to avoid it without expanding the interchange into 4+ levels or increase the size of the interchange even more. Traffic AI in CSL works better with left exits/entry though. There is no U turn, but you can make a U turn ramp literally anywhere along the highway.

>>>>>>Important details for using the workshop asset.

1) Lane connector from TMPE is a must, vehicles will go nuts merging or splitting. It'll work without it, but it'll be really subpar traffic capacity.

2) Workshop page has pictures which show all the modification of road upgrade and TMPE lane connection necessary to make it work at full capacity as intended. Ideal lane distribution is 2 lanes for going straight and 1 lane for other ways.

3) You need to give 4-8 nodes of highway before and after highway to make sure cars can change lanes properly and move across the lanes and be ready to be in proper lane for next exit, entry or interchange. It's a good practice for all highways in general.

This is a raw version if you don't have mass transit. All roads are highway ramps, so everyone can use it and upgrade the roads by themselves.

Great intersection. Thank you for the many hours it must have taken you to create it.

This is one of the best intersections I have seen in my years here.

Hi General Grievous,
Thanks again for creating and sharing this intersection. In case anyone is interested, you can find my 6-Way intersection comparison guide here:

Spoiler alert... this intersection is the highest performing 6-Way intersection I tested :steamhappy:

This is great! Just an FYI, there are 2 road segments that need to be upgraded from a 1-lane to 2-lane. Both are ground level on 2 different entrance/exits. Otherwise this is amazing. I just wish there was an easy way to do the TPME stuff automatically.

I'll edit the title @multigamerclub. I copy pasted the thing from reddit, so forgot the formatting.

Saw it on Reddit with 3200 likes at the moment...so I had to get it too.
