... B8 (ish) or something that doesn't require a switched diamond within the slip. I have no idea how to get rid of the pesky curve that makes itself evident whenever I make a branch track. Once I get the straight diverging road set up I think I'll be able to follow the video for diamonds within transitions, and then afterward I'll insert a slip road.
