The '''Mulholland Intersection''' is a four-level stack intersection and district featured in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], being located in [[Los Santos]], [[State of San Andreas|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 San Andreas|Los Santos]], [[State of San Andreas|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]] and [[Temple]].

The second, more prominent use of the intersection is during the final part of "[[The Green Sabre]]", when Sweet plans to use the car park as a staging area to launch a major assault against the [[Ballas]]. As they wait for Carl's arrival, however, Sweet's gang is ambushed by the Ballas, who are eventually fended off after Carl reaches the intersection, only to have the [[Los Santos Police Department]] arriving to swoop up surviving remnants of the GSF in the area, including Carl. Sweet is taken into police custody, while Carl is driven by [[Frank Tenpenny]] and [[Eddie Pulaski]] out of the city in order to force him to perform unsavory tasks on their behalf, opening a new chapter in the story. | The second, more prominent use of the intersection is during the final part of "[[The Green Sabre]]", when Sweet plans to use the car park as a staging area to launch a major assault against the [[Ballas]].
