That interchange is really going to take some getting used to!

There's one in Joplin where Range Line meets the 44 and it took a bit of getting used to with only our weekly grocery trips up there... now, I don't even notice it.

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. . .

42 mil project happening next year

My Bubby designed this ~10 years ago. It was the first DDI planned for Oklahoma. Since then they bid, designed, and built the one on 169 and memorial in Tulsa, which my buddy also designed. It'll be nice when it is finally built.

Literally all you have to do is follow the road. First time I went through one I didn't even think about it, until after I had went all the way through and then I realized "Hey, that was DDI."

that is really cool ...... DDI's are a great option in a lot of circumstances ..

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.
