Spot the various styles of highway interchange

You know that urbanization has gone too far when there exists a “field guide” to highway interchanges.

But such a monster does exist, in both Part 1 and Part 2.  Thrill to the weird and wacky dreams of traffic engineers. Tremble and the mighty way they can make you swoop and merge.

Pedestrians? Cyclists? Bah! Four wheels good, two wheels bad.

Above, you see a “Spaghetti Bowl” but I also enjoyed the “Lofthouse” (below), which is a hugely glorified traffic circle, and the “Whirlpool” (below the Lofthouse).
