Talk:Spaghetti Junction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A clarification: the people near the Golden Glades Interchange informally refer to it as "The Spaghetti Bowl." B.Wind 10:15, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed merge

Disagree. There are many 'spaghetti junctions' outside the US, and there are many which are NOT known at all as (a) 'Malfunction Junction' Midlandstoday 21:12, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Also disagree, as above. Andy Mabbett 22:08, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I also disagree - I think the tag should be removed PMBO 16:37, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I have now removed the tag as per the comments above. Midlandstoday 14:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Springvale Junction

I don't think springvale junction belongs in this category. It's not really an intersection between multiple major highways, just a very congested / poorly managed intersection of two main roads within a major city. I think it can be removed from this category. 203.11.72.4 06:08, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Definition of "Spaghetti Junction"

There are several interchanges listed here which appear to be standard stack, stack DDI, Y, parclo, etc. interchanges. Are we going to permit anything where an editor says "the locals call it 'spaghetti'" or are we going to restrict this to interchanges with a relatively unique characteristic? Items I have issues with are:

  • Kreuz Kaiserberg in Duisburg, Germany
  • I55 / I90 / I94 in Chicago, IL - 2lvl Stack
  • I15 / I515 / US 93 / US 95 in Las Vegas, NV - 3lvl Stack
  • E.B. Cloete Interchange (N2/N3) in Durban, South Afrika - 4lvl Stack (assuming I'm looking at the right one, which appears to be the most complicated in the area)
  • I20 / I59 / I65 in Birmingham, AL - Stack DDI
