UPDATE DEC 2020: This is one of the 30 intersections featured in my "
5-Way Highway Intersections Measured and Compared" Steam guide:

It does pretty well 😉

I recently noticed that I hadn’t made any 5-Way intersections, so this is my first attempt at a 5-Way. There are many 5-way Pentagonal intersections out there, but I’ve tried to make the topology of this one unique, while still having good performance. I used the 4-lane Mass Transit roads here so that each target directions can have it’s own lane entering the intersection, which should cut down on the lane merging problems

Note: I recommend the use of the TM:PE mod in order to cut down on lane switching and traffic weaving. As a Cities:Skylines asset I’ve added it to the Steam Workshop (links below) so anybody can download, modify and use it.

Details:
Intersection Marking tool (IMT): YES
Required DLC: Mass Transit for 4-lane and 2-lane highways
Recommended Mods: TM:PE

The Inspiration for this intersection was one by "General Grevious", the "5 Way Interchange Pentagram" which can be found here:

I took the general idea and improved it slightly by using the faster 2-lane highways for some more of the roads, this results in a slightly better performing intersection overall, but there’s not much difference really.
