My first time playing Cities Skylines

Oh wait this is i-30 in Dallas.

If you make 90% the area of your city dedicated to roads leaving only 10% buildings, you can barely just get traffic under control trust me. Just like in real life.
- Just be thankful they didn't include parking minimums
  
  There was a dev from there saying they wanted, but then realized cities would look like shit like that.
  
  Go figure.
I can't recreate some of the onramps I know of in my area because the game won't allow for onramps that short.
- Found the Rhode Islander
  
  Or Californian
The point is to avoid left turns when merging onto or leaving from the smaller road above. Keeps the traffic on it flowing.
- That only explains half of the WTF going on here. Why is there a freeway in the freeway?
  
  Texas has big access roads on almost every mile of highway, and it's glorious. If there's one thing Texas does right, it's highway infrastructure. Except for its obsession with tolls.
  
  To fix traffic
This is just a weird shaped cloverleaf. Nothing to see here move along.
- The difference being the use of frontage roads. The entrances and exits from the main carriageway onto the frontage roads will be between this exit and the next.
- Less sexual.
I stumbled upon this civil engineer on YouTube for a different road planning game and enjoyed way more than I expected. He also has a set for Cities Skylines.

what? no jam-packed 6 lane access roads?
How else would you achieve this?
