As an European I've never seen a diverging diamond (though I've been in the US a few times) and boy they look scary to drive across. I know you just have to drive straight, but that criss-cross interchange looks scary.

Also: how big is that parking lot? It reminds me of those Simpson's gags were the family have to park so far away they can't even see the location they came to visit.

We got our first one here a little while ago and personally, while they might look terrifying, it's actually the smoothest experience I have ever had with an interchange

That being said, they are hell for pedestrians
