-The '''Mulholland Intersection''' is a four-level stack intersection in [[Los Santos]], [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]].  It sits just north of [[Downtown Los Santos|Downtown]], and connects the major north-south highway servicing Los Santos and [[Las Venturas]] with the major street running across the northern portion of the city that connects northwestern and northeastern Los Santos. 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. However, the character of the area is good for gameplay. This is the final destination during the mission [[The Green Sabre]].
-It is based on the infamous [[wp:Four Level Interchange|Four Level Interchange]] in Hollywood, California.
+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.

+== Description ==
-[[Carl Johnson]]'s recent return to his home town of [[Los Santos]] has been fraught with difficulty.  His mother and younger brother are dead, his gang, the [[Grove Street Families]], is in ruins, and his brother [[Sweet]] is unconvinced as to his loyalty to his hood and his family.  In order to prove himself, Carl spends a great deal of time fighting the rival [[Ballas]] gang to regain control of not only territory, but the crack-ridden gang members that used to comprise [[Grove Street]]'s strength.
+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.
-After successfully ridding the area of the crack dealers destroying the neighborhood, Carl sets off to help Sweet re-unite the fractured Grove Street Families and ruin the Ballas once and for all.  When an unsuccessful attempt to reunite with another Grove Street faction results in a narrow escape from the police, Sweet decides it's time to attack the Ballas full-force.  He rushes off to meet his soldiers under the Mulholland Intersection, with Carl following.  Carl, however, is side-tracked on the way by [[Cesar Vialpando]], who has some important news for him.  Cesar shows Carl the truth behind the betrayal of the Grove by [[Big Smoke]] and [[Ryder]], who are in cahoots with [[C.R.A.S.H.]] officers [[Frank Tenpenny]] and [[Eddie Pulaski]], as well as with the Ballas. Realizing the attack on the Ballas is a trap, Carl rushes to Sweet's aid, just in time to save him from certain death.  However, the [[Los Santos Police Department]] quickly arrives and arrests Sweet, while Carl is taken by Tenpenny and 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 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 intersection is prominently featured twice during GTA San Andreas' storyline.
+The first is during "[[Sweet & Kendl]]", as a quartet on [[BMX]]s encompassing [[Carl Johnson]] (the player), [[Sweet]], [[Big Smoke]] and [[Ryder]] split up at the intersection's car park to draw a group of hostile [[Temple Drive Families]] members away from the pack.
+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.
