5-way Pentagon Intersection (IMT)

Description
UPDATE DEC 2020: This is one of the 30 intersections featured in my "
5-Way Highway Intersections Measured and Compared" Steam guide:
https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2328908231
It does pretty well ;-)

I recently noticed that I hadn't made any 5-Way intersections, so this is my first attempt at a 5-Way. There are many 5-way Pentagonal intersections out there, but I've tried to make the topology of this one unique, while still having good performance. I used the 4-lane Mass Transit roads here so that each target directions can have it's own lane entering the intersection, which should cut down on the lane merging problems

Note: I recommend the use of the TM:PE mod in order to cut down on lane switching and traffic weaving. As a Cities:Skylines asset I've added it to the Steam Workshop (links below) so anybody can download, modify and use it.

Details:
Intersection Marking tool (IMT): YES
Required DLC: Mass Transit for 4-lane and 2-lane highways
Recommended Mods: TM:PE

Thanks:
The Inspiration for this intersection was one by "General Grevious", the "5 Way Interchange Pentagram" which can be found here:
https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1790290461
I took the general idea and improved it slightly by using the faster 2-lane highways for some more of the roads, this results in a slightly better performing intersection overall, but there's not much difference really.

Thanks man, I have used highway ramps in order to ensure that people can use it without mods or maybe even DLC, but the improvement is clearly nice.

Since the 5 way intersection is very unrealistic anyway and I was watching Lucifer on netflix, I decided to go for pentagon/pentagram theme.

Thanks dude, some good points there. Yes, those ramps are unrealistically steep, as you can probably guess I was aiming too much for the pinwheel "look" to get distracted by realism :steamhappy:
There seems to be general agreement that 5-Way intersections are the biggest that are feasible in real life, it's probably why they greatly outnumber the 6 and 8-way intersections in the workshop.

Very nice! You know I'm always a sucker for Full-Diamond-style interchanges. Though the ramps in the middle are a bit steeper than I prefer, I do like the "pinwheel" in the middle.

(And I think 5-way is the biggest one where I don't complain about it not making sense to have that many highways come together in one spot :steamhappy:)
