So yes, I don’t recall ever seeing that, but… DUDE, neato! I can see that eliminating a lot of wasted time and improving safety, thinking specifically about a couple of the interchanges around here. But, I don’t think they’ll be adopted here anytime soon. From the wiki disadvantages: > Allowing exiting traffic to reenter the through road in the same direction requires leaving the interchange on the local road and turning around, e.g., via a median U-turn crossover. This affects several use cases: > > - Drivers who take the wrong exit - Bypassing a crash at the bridge - Allowing an oversize load to bypass a low bridge I can totally see that one being the deal-breaker here. Around here, the feeder roads run along the freeway for miles and miles. In urban areas, it is unusual to see a stretch of freeway without a feeder road. We have business driveways lining them. Texas even has its own subsection (the largest, of course) in the [service road wiki article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontage_road#Texas). To do the double crossover here, they would need to build a straight through lane alongside the freeway, which they already do when they have cloverleaf interchanges, which they do a version of here: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/cog/original/1X/582a3ef9b035fa90520f54a6bd36a2c916d01eb8.jpg) But there would not be nearly enough space to do either someplace like this: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/cog/original/1X/7c1e426a0ee25e8dd1b910db934990bf001661bd.jpg) Ooh, or here… another cluserfsck intersection: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/cog/original/2X/0/0d3f1a4ea4dc9f05910b908f6f8262ec38d07856.jpg) * * * \*The OCD in me is disturbed that the middle picture is actually the farthest north. --- _[View the full topic](https://cog.discourse.group/t/traffic-charlie-foxtrots/1205)._
