The Star Junction is arguably the best known 4-way junction. All merges occur after all exits (no gridlock), all directions are treated equally, it is small with no sharp turns, and is fairly simple to build.

[edit] Pros
- Handle a large number of trains at a time.
- Paths split before they merge.
- Won't cause traffic jams.
- Not difficult to build
- Small compared to other bridged 4-way junctions.
[edit] Cons
- Some branches are shorter than others, which may cause some trains to wait unnecessarily.
- Can take up a lot of space.
[edit] Tips
- Start by building the bridges or tunnels.
- Resize to make each branch long enough to hold a complete train.
- Make it smaller. You can save one square under the bridges.
- Use a combination of bridges and tunnels to keep bridge/tunnel length to three tiles (including bridgeheads or entrances)
