About This File

Hey Simtropolis,

Inspired by the Netherlands' robust pedestrian infrastructure (and watching way too much Not Just Bikes :D) I've made a set of eye-candy protected bike lanes designed to run adjacent and parallel to any orthogonal road-based network. The set contains simple pieces and uses the distinctive red asphalt found in Dutch bike lanes: One four-way cross, two three-way "tee" variants, and one two-way corner. The bike paths range from 1x1 to 13x1 in length. Your bicycling Sims get their protection from rows of parallel-parked cars, concrete planters, and bollards. Lindens offer a pleasant tree canopy and shade.

The bike paths use custom overlay textures I hacked together in Photoshop. I layered Catalyst's red asphalt bike path textures on top of some red herringbone brick street textures (extracted from NAM) to give them extra visual interest. To be clear, credit for the bike path textures goes to Catalyst and credit for the red herringbone brick textures goes to the NAM Team. I merely merged them together.

I originally made these for personal use and they were a real mess. Many thanks to @Tyberius06, who helped me clean them up and share them with the community (and who graciously offered his time and guidance with all my technical questions).

Fellow NJBers!

Glad that you made this mod! This adds to a bit scarce collections of bike lanes set. Not to mention this is a proper bike lane, not some gutters often found on road textures. Nice job!
