  2. Soooo… It’s roundabout week here on r/europe?

    Fun Fact: Italy is worldwide 3rd in terms of absolute number of roundabouts (about 18k)

  4. Can I buy the spot in the middle to build a nice house?

  9. I think it’s missing a bridge to connect directly the 2 roads that don’t have the tunnel. So you don’t need to do the roundabout to go forward.

    I expect it’s perhaps less traffic there, hence it was calculated that it’s not worth the investment.

    Though I’m not sure what’s with that thing in the middle. OP Please explain.

  10. Before the reconstruction, this was the most dangerous interchange in Croatia, having an accident every 3 days (average).

    It works perfectly now, and although it is expensive, the government spends so much money on useless projects, this was well-spent money.

  13. It had pretty high traffic, way more than is suitable for simple roundabout (three lanes making it especially problematic). It needed semaphores, so when they added it as part of reconstruction joke was that it’s working better now while it’s being worked on as compared to before.

  14. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the Hungarian government had a hand in this. Given their corruption and widespread acquisitions, such as buying companies and hotels even in Croatia, it’s entirely possible they provided guidance on inflating prices threefold and forcing it down people’s throats. Then, of course, the favored associates of the Hungarian government kept their hands in for the return of euros…

  17. Maybe the most expensive one but it looks like well thought out.

  20. Someone played Transport Tycoon Deluxe as a child and applied it irl it seems 😉

  25. If only they finished the tram line going over the bridge, by the end of the century, that would be nice too.

  26. Probably 44m not only for the roundabout but all arround and under it I guess?

    Looks very nice.

  27. crosspost this to r/citiesskylines they will love it

  28. The muricans are proud of you! One more lane bro! Or one more roundabout bro!

    Remember: cities for PEOPLE, not for cars!

  29. At least it serves the purpose, not like the College Hospital they built from the money of people from Zagreb, but it is devastated and not built to the end.

  32. Everything is expensive when Croatian “rođo” does the job.
