Why not? Please explain how it’s different. I genuinely want to understand.

Because I already sent you two links that explain it. Your last comment doesn't make it seem like you actually used the sources already provided. What you described in that comment is not weaving.

I completely read/watched the two links you provided (because I’m more interested with learning where I’m wrong than with being right), but it is now clear from your more elaborate reply that you did not even bother. If you had, you’d realize that your first link specifically mentions the exact situation that I called out.

Your wiki link states that the weaving problem “is most prevalent either where the junction designer has placed the on-slip [on-ramp] to the road before the off-slip [exit] at a junction (for example, the cloverleaf interchange), or in urban areas with many close-spaced junctions.” It makes it very clear that the cloverleaf presents just one example of the weaving problem, and the other example mentioned in the same breath is exactly what I presented to you.

Your YouTube link also explains that the smaller the cloverleaf, the more dangerous it is, and it says making the loops larger is better but not always possible because of the amount of land they take up. That’s why I have always noticed smoother weaving at larger cloverleafs like often exist in Texas rather than at a smaller cloverleafs that you often see in dense urban areas like in the northeast or western US.

Your one word answer didn’t make your ignorance clear, but now it is absolutely crystal clear that you either couldn’t be bothered to check your own bias with the links you shared before telling me “no” or you’re just trying to gaslight me in order to troll my downvoted comments.

Either way, whether you like it or not, the evidence you provided proves my point that the weaving problem is not simply a problem with cloverleafs but with all high speed junctions that are close together. It is not an inherent problem with cloverleafs entirely but the distance between on and off junctions.

But whatever your intentions, thanks for your links anyway. I did learn something and more than anything, they showed me that I’m already familiar with some of the alternatives to cloverleafs that I had always thought of as “modified cloverleafs.”
