Good luck with that.
Going by similar things I see where I live, I don’t see how diverging diamond works in practice, even if the theory is good.
The problem is
- it’s unfamiliar to drivers
- drivers see a huge expanse of pavement with insufficient indication where to go. I see people all the time accidentally cross lanes
- since it’s a very shallow angle, it’s all too easy to get confused and accidentally cross over into oncoming traffic
- cities never keep up with road maintenance. Lane lines are critical here, but once they are worn off it’s just a free for all
- there’s always more traffic. It’ll quickly back through the intersections and cause gridlock, yet it’s not easy for drivers to tell when they are even in the intersection
