In another article, they called both the FON and Six Forks interchange SPUIs:
I've seen other places, though, where it's called a "folded diamond interchange."

Eh road geek:
Who makes the decisions to change interstate freeways. For example the decision to kill our Raleigh Beltline, or generally speaking- or assigning names to certain stretches of interstate in a big city like I-635 "LBJ Fwy" in Dallas. Who thinks of these ideas and who decides to make it happen. Does the public or residents/citizens have any say in local Fwys maintenance?

Great question, do I miss the Raleigh Beltline? Hmmmm. Let me count the ways.

1. I couldn't miss it more than if I woke up and my face was super glued to my windshield.

2. I couldn't miss it more than if I watched a twilight Zone episode called; "The Beltline"

3. I couldn't miss it more than paying tolls on the 'new' and 'better' soon to be complete RT 540!

4. I couldn't miss it more than not buying an electric car, visa-via a shocking Volt to traverse it!

5. I couldn't miss it more than $5 / gallon gas at a station near you.....

Ok if 1 through 5 don't work for you. I don't miss it!
