I've recently developed a new freeway standard that I've been implementing. I don't like the center-exit system in real life; and the disadvantage is that traffic does cross; however, the tile usage finally won me over.
Since I used fences, two fences plus two highway roads was already 4-tiles wide. Exits used to require a 7x3 box on EACH side of the highway; because cars can now make a double turn in two tiles, that was reduced to 5x3, but still a lot when cities are maybe 10-20 tiles square for a decent sized town...
Thus, I decided that this would be better.
It also GREATLY simplifies signage, and highway merges are easier; and it's easy to put exist on corners... It's also easy to shut off parts of the highway while it's being constructed - only two barricade tiles are needed to close off a direction completely....
So, for Simutrans, I think this is the ultimate highway system. I'd love to see improvements/suggestions for it, though.
