I have resumed working on the 6 cities in the older 'Sambey' cluster. As part of that work I am changing the old parclo highway junctions by more modern junctions using RHW. This has some negative side effects that I can document here in one case. Here is a part of the commercial area of Lessy, with the reworked junction on the top right of the picture:
The effect of the rework is better seen in the zone view of the same area:
A few roadways and a railway are cut, because essentially of a MIS ramp that precludes crossing the highway by either an overpass or an underpass:
1 - a road is cut; the left portion of the road has already been converted to a street;
2 - a railway is cut; this quite inconvenient because there is no way to reroute this portion of railway tracks;
3 - an avenue is cut;
4 - this used to be an entrance/exit link between the highway and the city roadways, there is no longer enough room for that link to be preserved there.
Once the area is reworked I'll show the new configuration in a future post.
