I do not like the motorway junctions that come with the vanilla game.

What do I mean / envisage . . .

A bridge over the motorway is the basic solution. At the end of each bridge approach is a junction, which at minimum has the link to the bridge and to two slip roads for traffic coming off or going onto the motorway. Probably also a road from the junction providing access to 'the city'. The same on the other side can provide access to satellite settlements or suburbs.

Adapt to more traffic with with a two bridge roundabout.

Is there a mod that already does this ?
 
The 'vanilla' motorway junction; the 'internal loop' connections seem insane given motorway speeds.

A typical rough attempt at creating what I mean; the slip roads from / to the motorway probably should be longer and meet the approach roads to the bridge more neatly. Alternatively have the slip roads go to roundabouts (traffic circles) rather than a junction.

"UK style" is used here in Canada as well.

Here's 3 near me, one newer one with roundabouts.

Further along the same highway, the highway is divided:

A real life one about an hour away from me:
Can confirm it is insane. Especially heading NE on the highway, cars coming on and cars going off in each other's way. So little space.
 
Here we are; had to achieve two expansions of the settlement and spend money to create it.
