Description
Gothic interchanges have a bit of a shady reputation, worse than it deserves in my opinion. They sometimes go by the name "Malfunction Crossing" due to its deceptivly broken-looking structure, with the mainline carriageways switching sides. The name also originates from the problems with the ramps in the inner lane. This is a problem in the real world, where heavier, slower traffic will have a hard time reaching, and leaving, these ramps. However, I think a directional setup might be beneficial in-game, since concepts like road safety, and individual vehicle speed (seperate from road speed) doesn't seem to affect the capacity of the interchange.

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

Advantages:
+ Fully directional
+ No weaving
+ Easier to plop down in uneven terrain

Disadvantages:
- Still larger than a turbine interchange
- Difficult to retro-fit due to a fairly confusing layout

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

Cost:47 730
Upkeep: 541 / week

In-game description:
With carriageways criss-crossing each other, driving on this interchange is like going across the channel back and forth!

I don't see how this design is any different than a Diverging Windmill....?

Nice design, though I now wonder if I'm the only one who would treat the middle lane of a highway with 3 or more lanes as the "fast lane", instead of the left lane (or right lane for those who drive on the left side of the road instead of on the right side like in the U.S.).

@MaxPower — that should be in a sticky for good construction tips somewhere !

As far as i have observed, all vehicles in game have the same speed, and the never overtake.

That means that intersections with on-/off-ramps on both sides perform better than those with ramps only on the right side, because traffic will more evenly spread over all 3 lanes.
