i cant even afford those DLC

Just how amazing is this interchange, here is a screenshot:

There are 50k people living in this area, a Stadium, a Festival Arena, and a high density leisure zone (Devonport). The only change I had to make was changing the right side traffic light from default to timed - and I guess I only had to do that because I'm using the Real time mod.

There are only about 5k jobs and no commerce in this area, so almost all those 50k people have to commute back and forth, mostly via mass transit, but a considerable volume use cars and the intersection.

It handles that like a pro. Kudos to MaxFX for the excellent job.
