Eight Mile / Lodge Fwy /Greenfield interchanges

Post by Gazoo4U
I drove through here yesterday to check out the turn restrictions on Greenfield during the construction. These were corrected and the UR closed.

I noticed two things, one turnaround just to the east of Greenfield was missing and I added it. However, the southern end is disconnected and needs to be attached to the L4 ramp. This is simple and one of you rock stars can take care of it.

But this brings me to a larger point. Should the Eight Mile service drives be ramps? I tend to think they should just be primary streets or minor highways.

Screenshot below of the late 50s interchange that seemed a good idea at the time.

I made those into ramps a few months ago because there's not really any other way to get movements between 8 Mile and M-10 at the MH level unless we make those service drives MH too, which would look terrible. At least, that was the idea. I realize now that that only actually works for one of the eight possible movements, because the other seven rely on the M-10 service drives.

Well I can't from my phone. But I'm sure someone will get it by the time I am home.

As for the ramp type from what I see I kinda agree.

But I need to go through all of the Detroit interchanges. Cause some I saw kinda made me question them. I will post that tonight with examples.
