I got some intersection designs that unfortunately uses bridges (paywalled behind a DLC) but thankfully the throughput is great according to my testing. I may or may not have made up the name Behlertrumpet.

Designed a couple of new intersections. 4 spacing RHD, chunk aligned with power poles, buffered for up to 6 length trains in every direction. 3x3 chunks for the 4-way, 3x2 for the 3-way. Can get slightly higher TPM by signal spamming but I didn't care to double the signal count for ~5 more TPM. Quite proud of these, managed to exceed all my design goals and they look great as well. As of this posting I believe the Hourglass is the only 3x3 chunk intersection with room for proper chunk power poles and buffering - I searched extensively and couldn't find any others.

Hourglass 4-way: ~93 TPM

Tulip 3-way: ~76 TPM

Compared to the other junction I mentioned, these are much cleaner.
