Timboh’s DCMI Interchange
Ah, yes! The DCMI Interchange, the big thing that every roadgeek seem to be talking about. I’m not saying it’s overhyped, but… It’s just that it’s not that "revolutionary", so to speak. It’s a very efficient interchange indeed, but it’s more of a perfected version of a full diamond/gothic interchange than a brand-spanking new thing, at least in my opinion. And that’s not me trying to discredit its designer Micheal A. Gingrich, who is a traffic planning god! You’ll probably see more of his creations in my collection soon enough!
===================================================================
Advantages:
+ No weaving
+ Semi-directional
+ Longer ramps mean more space for queues
Disadvantages:
– While it’s often marketed as a compact design in the real world, it’s fairly large in-game due to game restrictions
– Moderately difficult to retro-fit and improve
===================================================================
Cost: 40 970
Upkeep: 469 / week
In-game description:
DCMI, a fancy abbreviation which makes any road enthusiast’s hype lump tickle. This experimental interchange is a real legend!
