What is the craziest interchange you've seen? Here's one on the Bluegrass Parkway: https://www.google.com/maps/place/37%C2%B044'55.7%22N+85%C2%B040'27.5%22W/@37.748817,-85.6764797,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d37.7488167!4d-85.6742906?hl=en

I think this pair of exits on US-90 is interesting, if not a bit crazy (like a parclo, but with a flyover). Not sure I've ever seen any other exits like it:

There's this three-level roundabout in New Orleans:

Then there's this almost five-way stack in Houston:

The south generally doesn't have very many crazy intersections, but the one Team445 posted is bonkers! Can you imagine the weaving problems on that one?

Site of a former mainline toll booth.  Hence why the ramps are designed like that.  Of course, the Bluegrass has been toll-free for a couple decades now, so it's time for KYTC to realign the ramps.

KYTC has done that on a portion of I-69.

I think those ramps would have been fixed by now if this was a busy exit, but it’s far from it.  In fact, I’ve seen flood waters from the Rolling Fork River completely cover KY 52, so I’m thinking not very many people live in the immediate area, much less use the exit at all.

There's another similar one in Quebec on A-10 near Waterloo. https://www.google.com/maps/@45.3119441,-72.4988604,1576m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en

Edit: It was from the time when A-10 was a toll road.

The southeastern terminus of I-26 at US 17 in Charleston has been rather unusual ever since the Ravenel Bridge was built.

I don't typically consider Oklahoma to be part of the South, but whatevs...

Here is another butterfly in Oklahoma, and here is another one several miles down the road.

And, speaking of marginally southern states, I seem to remember there being a butterfly interchange near Benton, KY.  Maybe they got rid of it while 69ing that highway.  ??

All 3 of our Oklahoma examples have toll booths under bridges. Interesting.

Reminds me of a common Mexican tollbooth/interchange design.

Terrifying is the word I'd use - you can barely see them ahead on the approaches. I'm guessing traffic flows are quite low given there are only 3 booths and absolutely no deceleration/weaving zones on approach.

[kphoger]

Plenty of advance signage for those toll booths.

I don’t know if it’s crazy, but I’ve long been amazed by this interchange built right over Mobile Bay.
