Huge Mixed-Use Development for Waterloo Rd.

Isn't that intersection pretty much the same design as Lindsey & I-35 in Norman?

If so, it works great.

Single Point Diverging Interchange is what is at I35/Lindsay and I40/Morgan. The design at Waterloo is a Diverging Diamond interchange. They are of the same family but are different. Both are very effective.

I will say that street signage and pavement markings are crucial, and we know how much ODOT and the city keep up with pavement markings. . .

The one in Norman never has traffic driving on what we perceive as the wrong side of the road the way this one will. It's more of an elongated "'X." Frequent users will get used to it but it will be kind of odd for a while.
