  Good on you for your proactive approach to the problem, and I wish you swift, llama-flavoured success in fixing it.

  i'm unsure if i mentioned it in this thread before or not... i did discuss it on the discord server with others: 1- We already have "Super-Two" freeways (Real Highway-2), two-lane undivided freeways 2 - How about "Super-Four" freeways, four-lane undivided freeways... basically, the freeway equivalent to NRD-4 3 -or even the rare 2+1 or 2-lane DIVIDED freeways... i know 2+1 undivided is already available, but divided might be tricky... 4 - we already kinda have 2-lane DIVIDED freeways, in the form of the center lane of the RHW-6C.... just need to make that more viable as a route... i do like the idea of perhaps taking the center part of the RHW-6C and making that a road itself, just two lanes but with a divider... I was told RHW-4C is also in the works, which would be nice to see! I was also told of NRHW-4 was also being worked on before being abandoned... 5 - RIRO expressways ' intersections should be a LOT easier to build than they are... is there a way to make it to where an intersecting streets with a RIRO Expressway (either via real highways or one-way road pair) have automatic islands on them to direct traffic in a "Y" shape to enter and exit without going the wrong way? the Wye intersection comes to mind, but that's pretty spacious.. though that might very well be what we need... 6 - would there be any way to have a toggle for activating or deactivating concrete barriers when sections of real highway border each other, for a more realsitic collector-distributor (or express-collector) setup? that way it doesn't look like a steep ditch between the carriageways... 7 - i also wonder if there's a way for ramps that change height (like say, L1 to L2) cuold be placed over another transportation corridor, like a street or rail line at L0 (or L3), instead of having to be placed on either side of it... this would kinda relate to how suspension bridges often ahve roads travelling beneath them as they carry traffic high above a river..
  
  8 - is there a way to get trolleys within a road or avenue on an overpass above a freeway, particularly if the freeway is below-grade? i know we have dedicated trolley routes over freeways, and can use the tunnel option, but i'd love to try to recreate Woodward Avenue over Interstate 75 in Downtown Detroit... it has trolley tracks on it where it passes over Interstate 75.
  
  9 - While i'd love the ability to have height transitions (at least straight ones, but others would be nice too) over roads and rail... i was told that's not easily doable, if at all... would love to have a ramp increasing from L1 to L2 as a road or rail line passes beneath it at L0....
  
  10 - This would be a cousin of the DDRHW, but... a dual-layered transit corridor like Wacker Drive in Chicago or how Toronto's Gardiner Expressway travels directly atop Lakeshore Boulevard... it would be like having an L0 Avenue with an L1 or L2 RHW directly above it in the same direction without transitions (well, unless we built ramps)...
  
  11 - I know it would be a nightmare to implement, but as i was messing around with the diagonal bridges mod, i noticed a lot of the time that roads and the like that were on slopes had that steel retaining wall thing on them. It made me wonder... could we seriously have roads that are perpendicular to slopes? we could have service roads directly adjacent to freeways like in Detroit... i know it would be complex to implement (and ramp transitions between the two even more so!), but the diagonal bridge mod seems to suggest the possibility is there...
  
  12 - rail to tram transitions? i'd love to try to get freight trains on a couple streets in a form of street running... even if it's just an avenue, it could be sweet...
  
  13 - are we sure there's no way to somehow link the Canals to existing waterways like rivers and oceans? i'd love to have a ship sailing up to the city, then into the canal area to dock at an inland port...
  
  and yeah... my long-standing wish to grow a city beyond 256x256 lots... yeah, i know it's likely never gonna happen, even with DLL injection because of how the game handles city sizes and lot sizes... but that would be so awesome.. having a massive 4096x4096 city with interchanges everywhere, bridges over rivers....
  
  curse my overactive imagination, exceeding our grasp and capabilities at times!
