About This File

*** Updated Aug 5, 2007 *

A Bus-Stop Road-Markings theme for all you Brits!

This set of overlay textures is intended for use with the Roadtop Mass-Transit package but it can be used in other transit-enabled bus-stop lots as well.

They feature a somewhat weathered look, to match the tracks of the tyres on the road that the SC4 roads have.

The set contains red-painted bus-stop markings for streets, roads, one-way roads and avenues. It does not contain subway markings, as they rather rare, if not completely inexistent in the UK.

* Aug 5, 2007:Added textures for the GLR-in-Avenue Stations (available from version 3.50).

@tennismaster: a yellow-coloured zebra isn't hard at all to do. But is's a different thing (network texture) not overlay textures for lots, like this one. And I don't really know how much work this could be, it's not just one zebra, ALL road/street/oneway/avenue intersection combinations...

...must be done. So you actually need a replacement for the zebra crossing mod, I would say get in touch with thorvin or morifari first (and send some pics too).

@swesim: could you post some pics? And what do you mean by "make the same set for RH traffic as well"?

some people drive on the right-hand side... this kit is only for left-hand driving... if we download it the words will probably be facing upside down to the drivers of the right-hand side...

Swesim is suggesting to release the same kit, but with the words flipped right side up for right-hand drivers. Thats what he means...

@allan_kuan1992, @joeynymets: a right-hand driving version without the letters will be done soon - plus the RTMT package already contains 2 generic right-hand driving sets. But I would like to add subway markings too. Pls post in the above thread pics (or ideas)

One minor point, bus stops are not usually directly opposite each other. This is to allow traffic to overtake the buses when they are at the stop and not cause jams on both sides of the roads...great work!

@jono01,bode: you're right, but this was done to accommodate the busstops in a 1x1 station. What you say, requires a 2x1 busstop (TE lot) for roads, that will use the oneway texture instead (top right pic). Is this what you meant?

...that (or a 3x1 with a gap between the stops) would be a good idea if you'd be happy to do it. One other suggestion would be to make the road markings match the UK/Euro road modds. Excellent work and very useful as is though.

Are they strickly Euro? I like the idea, but is there a version of American cities (if not now, soon?) I have a feeling that since the direction of the people using it will confict with the general flow of traffic, which is going in the opposite direction. Just making sure!!, But I love the idea!!!

@Mr.Cortez: this specific texture set is left-driving only, though compatible w/ both SC4 stsndard (unmodded) and Euro Roads Texture Mod. The RTMT package does contain generic (simple) right-driving markings sets. I could make more if I had some images/specs. Pls post in the thread mentioned above.

>it can be used in other transit-enabled bus-stop lots as well Does not it mean UK Bus Stop Road Markings appear in DEDWD Road Top Bus Stop Set(https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=14766)for example?

@katzenkopf: no, lots must use a texture pack for the textures to appear. Deadwoods' set doesn't use this pack. Try my own set. It contains many british-themed items, a red phonebox, TfL bus-sign, LU subway and many bus-stops to choose amongst.

I was misunderstanding. I regret my favorite bus stops sets are not adapted for it,but this idea is really great. I will use this kit with Berlin bus stops. Thank you.
