As many of you know, Parclo Interchanges are my preferred interchange type. Growing up in Ontario, Canada, the place where the Parclo Interchange was invented, its easy to see why I have a certain affinity to them. They are used everywhere, and are only compromised if there is not enough room to accommodate them.
The term Parclo means partial cloverleaf, which is essentially what this interchange type is. It's pretty much a cloverleaf interchange, but with two of the loop ramps removed, eliminating any weaving altogether. The empty space where the removed loop ramps should be allow room for long acceleration/deceleration lanes and can straighten and elongate the outer ramps, greatly improving flow and safety features.
The award-winning Parclo interchange has been well received, and is now used all over the world. Parclos are difficult to construct for a ground/elevated highway in SC4, but the RHW is able to take advantage of this great interchange type. I will show you several parclo setups throughout this guide.
Getting the basic stuff out of the way...
Place your starter piece...
Drag the RHW using the RHW tool...
(Optional) Delete the starter pieces to create a RHW without any overrides.
And drag the stable network over it.
That's what a RHW-6C looks like. Neat eh?
