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.
