The '''Mulholland Intersection''' is a four-level stack intersection and district featured in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], being located in [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]], [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]]. It sits west from [[Glen Park]], north from [[Downtown Los Santos|Downtown]], east from [[Temple]] and southeast from [[Mulholland]], which the intersection draws its name from. | The '''Mulholland Intersection''' is a four-level stack intersection and district featured in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], being located in [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]], [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]].

Based on the infamous [[:wp:Four Level Interchange|Four Level Interchange]] in Hollywood, California, the Mulholland Intersection connects the [[Los Santos Freeway]] network and the major north-south highway servicing Los Santos and [[Las Venturas]], with [[Mulholland Drive]], a major street running across the northern portion of Los Santos that connects the northwestern and northeastern parts of the city. Because the intersection is partially elevated, a parking lot is laid out underneath. | Based on the infamous [[:wp:Four Level Interchange|Four Level Interchange]] in Hollywood, California, the Mulholland Intersection connects the [[Los Santos Freeway]] network and the major north-south highway servicing Los Santos and [[Las Venturas]], with [[Mulholland Drive]], a major street running across the northern portion of Los Santos that connects the northwestern and northeastern parts of the city.

The character of the area is good for gameplay, as the elevated roadways provide convenient access to both the freeway system and adjoining districts, while the parking lot underneath is effective as a shortcut between [[Glen Park]], [[Downtown Los Santos]] and [[Temple]]. The onramps also offer several concrete ramps which the player can use for [[stunting]]. | The character of the area is good for gameplay, as the elevated roadways provide convenient access to both the freeway system and adjoining districts, while the parking lot underneath is effective as a shortcut between [[Glen Park]], [[Downtown Los Santos in GTA III Era|Downtown Los Santos]] and [[Temple]].

There is a slight controversy about the point of having this huge intersection where one of the routes going through is relatively minor. These intersections are expensive to build and are only used in very necessary conditions. The normal road junction to the west of the intersection proves that a traffic light intersection can be possible on the less busy road, and instead a diamond intersection can be built, to keep the north-south traffic in flow. | There is a slight controversy about the point of having this huge intersection where one of the routes going through is relatively minor.
