Both of those are better than the non existent name I came up with :) I briefly tried to think of a name, and quickly gave up, hence the mk i. S Junction for the linguists, $ Junction for the capitalists.

What do all of you think about quality fuel when testing intersections?

Wow, it does look like a $ Junction.

I didn't add that one since its 2 to 4 lane. It needs its separate catagory.

When I was working on a grid aligned rail system I came up with the following design for a T intersection that both seems more compact than anything (other than the bottle) posted so far and seems to be a unique design as far as I can tell (you can trim it down a bit if you didn't want to fit it to a 32x32 grid)

I'm currently referring to this design as a compact half trumpet seeing as it looks like two halves of a trumpet intersection superimposed on top of each other but I'm open to better names if anyone has them.

What I consider a cleaner Celtic Knot elevated 4-way 2 rail LHT intersection, scored around 95-100 when tested: https://factoriobin.com/post/l0ug0s

The trains per minute on the 3-way intersection is only 70-80 though.

Made improvements to the grid aligned city block rail book. Added a 4-way intersection, made it rotationally symmetric, and made it align with (0,0) instead of (1,-1). TPM on the 4 way and the 3 way is still around 70-80. Slight downside with this version is that the rail sections use 1 more tile of space. You could probably make some improvements around the signaling for the 3-way and for the corners but I'm pretty sure it won't matter since the trains will be bottlenecked by the 4 way intersections.

Hey, so I looked at the 4 way. atm the ramps doesnt really help its throughput as it barly beats the Christmas interesction, which scores 73 in set 1. The double roundabouts are very costly to its throughput.
