I'm surprised no one has posted this yet.
George Washington Bridge, NJ Side. I-80 & I-95 [express and local] along with US 46, NJ 4, US 9/9W/1, and a few more that I can't think of right now, with ramps to/from each from/to both the upper and lower levels of the bridge. Have fun figuring it out if you've never driven there

Sorry, I couldn't resist...

Did you notice the way that person parked that bus?

LOL

I don't think he's parked, I think he was just running over the curb. The busses in this down do that often.

Here is one of my greats:
Rt 440 (I-287) which goes over the Outerbridge Crossings, intersects the Driscol Bridge (Garden State Parkway), and the new Rt.9/35 Bridge which both go over Ratian Bay.

I don't know what to call this; its a complet mess, or masterpice, whichever you'd like ot call it.

PS! It is not The Outer Bridge Crossing, although it does connect ot 287, the NYC outer loop, and is the fatherst crossing into NYC (Staten Island) from Mahatten. Infact . . .

The Outerbridge Crossing was named in honor of Eugenius H. Outerbridge, first Chairman of the Port Authority

This one is VERY close to my house. In fact my car is at home...never mind. OK, this is the I-85 - I-285 interchange in Northeast Atlanta. THAT'S complex. In fact, the only name we have for it here (widely used) is spaghetti junction.

This one is called *The Mix Master* and is located in Dallas, Texas.

For the 2 years I lived in Fort Worth, I dont think I heard any traffic reports for any roads other than the ones that flow into and out of this mess.

Here is one in Arlington, Texas. The flyovers are unbelievably high. What makes this interesting is that there appears to be an accident in the middle of it all, causing quite a bit of traffic backup. If you pan further to the west you can see another traffic backup.

I-75 and I-71 merge before crossing the grossly inadequate Brent Spence Bridge in downtown Cincinnati. Accidents here cause 5+ mile backups.

Hi everybody!

I'm not sure if only highways in the US are allowed in this funny competition of wierd road planning ;-) but i have a nice intersection from Berlin for the competition that even has an interesting history (see text in the kmz-file).
It doensn't look too wierd (but still as complex as the last US-Intersections in this thread) but for a german autobahn-intersection it's quite a complex design at all (as it grew with the demands and it was not planned alltogether on a sratchboard).

As this is my first post on this board I hope I don't mess something up.

Greetings from Berlin (and sorry for my bad english)
Sebastian
