Re-entry & Radius
Re-entry Score: 6/10.
The Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) involves crossing to the wrong side briefly. Removes left-turn conflicts but merges can be difficult due to resort traffic.
Radius Alert: DDI has wide sweeping turns. However, internal resort roads have decorative medians/curbs that catch 53' trailers. Stick to the center.
