When did the cloverleaf fall out of fashion?

[Kulerage]

Wish I could tell you. They're still built pretty regularly in NC.

As stated by sprjus4.

A few in North Carolina in the past couple decades -
- I-95 / I-795 / US-264 (C/D roads on I-95) - around 2006
- US-264 / NC-11 Bypass - 2019
- US-70 / US-17 (only partially in use, stub on north side) - around 2012
- I-95 / I-74 (C/D roads on I-95) - around 2008
- US-1 / US-421 (C/D roads on US-421) - around 2008
- I-85 / I-73 (C/D roads on both) - around 2006
- I-85 / US-421 (C/D roads on both, one flyover) - around 2006

I recently found out that the Town of Brookhaven did something really dumb with an interchange on NY 27. They installed the entrance to a park on the on-ramp from Suffolk CR 51 to the eastbound NY 27 service road. As if building an intersection too close to a ramp doesn't already increase the risk of accidents, and renders cloverleafs more dysfunctional.

Huh? That's just a frontage road. There's thousands of examples of businesses built with entrances to frontage roads.

Actually, that's a partial cloverleaf.

It's a partial cloverleaf that exits/enters a service road.

The park entrance is on the service road.  The exit ramp to the west of the park ends at the cross street; it has a stop sign. If you go straight through you're on the service road. The loop ramp never touches the service road.

Agreed.  The park access lies between a stop sign and a stoplight.  Hardly "something really dumb".

Exiting traffic to CH-51 SB would not drive past that entrance.
Exiting traffic to CH-51 NB would not drive past that entrance.
Exiting traffic to CH-55 would not drive past that entrance.
Entering traffic from CH-55 would not drive past that entrance.
Entering traffic from CH-51 would drive past that entrance, but that's no more "dumb" than their also having to go through a stoplight at CH-55.
