It seems that the formula for efficiency is 1000 * traffic flow * complexity factor / concreate used. The displayed values are probably rounded down. As for complexity factor, I think it represents the amount of traffic; here, there are 4 entry points that want to go to 3 exits with a weight of 3 (the thickness of the arrow), so 4*3*3=36.

Actually, there was hardly any traffic on the German Autobahns until well after WW2. Consequently, the pre-war interchanges were usually cloverleaves. Even the Frankfurter Kreuz, the interchange with by far the most traffic, was designed as a cloverleaf, and has been improved only 20 or so years ago.

All but eliminated bottlenecks, but rural highway users don't always give way and some bad t-bones still happen from time to time.

There's one more type of interchange you can do, although I think it fails on this particular location: an intersection. Just draw two vertical lines and two horizontal lines, and trust the cars to turn left or right as needed. I think in this game, it makes it functionally almost identical to a small roundabout, but with sharper turns. It only works rarely, when traffic is low and mostly directly across instead of turning.

Aren’t tunnels even more expensive?

Tunnels are even worse. The only thing more expensive than a tunnel is a tunnel under water. Sometimes it is the right thing to do, but if it is simply a matter of choosing over or under, all else equal, then over is best.

Building a bridge is way cheaper than making a tunnel. The bridge only has to support itself, while the tunnel has to be dug out and support whatever overlays it.

Depends on the type of tunnel, whether they'd need to dig out the land above it first. They need to build the supporting structure of the tunnel walls regardless, and then potentially putting the surrounding land back afterwards. I suspect they'd be just as expensive, if not moreso, and in most cases are basically the same as bridges, just made partially of land and not exclusively concrete.

Glad to see you playing this again.

When i played this before, when trying to optimize for traffic flow, I once boult a double stack roundabout, so if you were wanting to go clockwise, you stayed at ground level, and if you wanted to go anti-clockwise you ascended to a higher roundabout which was turning that way lol.

Fun fact : If you go to the folder freeways > Data , you can see all the reference pictures. Also, the pictures unlock if you reach the score in the little green box.

If you search up ‘3 and 4 way intersections in FREEWAYS’ on KZread, then you will clearly see he watched that video before he made this xD

I have learned more in this video than school could probably teach me in weeks.

In the US, we call the interchange you drew a diverging windmill. A diverging diamond interchange uses traffic signals at the crossovers instead of bridges. On the magic roundabout, I think I saw one of the green cars take the long way through the interchange just to go straight. I like the tubine interchange for a better choice than a cloverleaf also.
