A unique highway interchange called the Diverging Diamond Interchange is currently attracting interest in the United States with a host of new projects under consideration. The only current examples of this exist in France and one instance in Missouri.

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is currently constructing a new interstate interchange with a Diverging Diamond and this expensive animation shows the counter-intuitive interchange in action.

This is either brilliant or bizarre–I can’t decide which at this point.

To make matters worse, one of these interchanges in France has been further altered.
