Have you heard of the Diverging Diamond Interchange, and if you have, what do you think of it?

I'd love to see more of these, but, unfortunately, it'll be a long time before they show up here. Americans are just too darn stupid to use complicated interchanges like that! Just about anybody can get a driver's license here, which means we always have to design for the stupidest motorist. You'll see that theme pop up again and again.

The reason I asked, is that we're in the process of building one in Lehi Utah right now. You're right that it has the population all stupid WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE DRIVE ON THE LEFT, but after looking at the initial designs I figured it would be a great way for traffic flow, especially since it is connecting one of the fastest growing areas to the freeway.

What about Continual Flow Intersections? we just built one in West Valley Utah and it seems to have made a huge difference in traffic delays.
