Single-Point Urban Interchange (SPUI)
Single-Point Urban Interchange over sunken freeway
Single Point Urban Interchange:
Advantages:
- Superior to traditional diamond interchange due to only one signalized intersection required
- Improved safety due to having only one intersection and better visibility from the angle of oncoming traffic
- Right turn-traffic does not need to be handled by an intersection, giving the SPUI higher throughput and requiring less traffic signal phases
- Curvature to increase vehicle speeds thus increasing throughput
Disdvantages:
- Left-side on-ramps are less safe due to merging with freeway’s ‘fast lane’ traffic
- Throughput and safety not as high as diverging diamond interchange (DDI) due to left turns must still cross opposing traffic and traffic light is still required
This Asset:
- Freeway depth at 12m below street level
- Freeway carriageways are spaced at 32 units apart for those using the Parallel Road Tool mod
- Elevated intersection at 2m above street level to accommodate concrete quays (Asset Editor would not allow me to save the quays at a lower elevation, so I had to painstakingly redo most of the asset to raise the roads up)
- Recommended for moderate to heavy traffic volumes
