Great job everybody!! Here is a pic of the inner ring road of Vistalegre, the capital of Nueva Iberia, that will be featured in my CJ's next update.

And two other pics of motorways, in this case a mountain highway:

Hope you liked it!!

One of the very few beautiful uses of the RHW, love the tunnel entrances and exits... and your highway texture that you selected is excellent for the countryside you used...

no need to feel offended, we tend to comment on stuff we're shown here, compliment well done work and suggest improvements if necessary...

good ol osborne...

you know, back in the days when regularly spent my easter holidays in Playa de Aro, that one Osborne bull near el Bruc was some sort a special landmark to me on our way down south... too bad them idiots destroyed it over and over...

You should tell me, where did you find those traffic barriers and emergency phones? It looks very realistic!

Those are lotted highways. Guard rail props are part of mrtnrln 's RHW6C cosmetic mod ( i think I posted this link earlier in this thread...) and emergency phones are part of namspopof 's prop pack (https://www.toutsimcities.com/downloads/view/1882)

Yes, I think the Osborne bull at El Bruc is the only one remaining in Catalonia. In other parts of Spain they are more common (from my hometown to Madrid they are a couple of them, in 240 km) In the '90s, there was an act that banned all advertisements near motorways, and those Osborne bulls were menaced, but they were finally kept because of their "cultural value". (is one of the most recognizable symbols of Spain)

TH-100 though Edison. This highway is called 'The Spine'. I'll post up a bigger pic later to show why

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

I love it!

[Durfsurn 539]

Nice! I'd like to see it made into a ELRHW-6 later on!

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

This limited access expressway bisects the neighbourhood of Mulingen.

[Patricius Maximus 236]

Higu and ROFLyoshi's pictures are beautiful. They actually look like places I'd want to live .

[Shortsonfire 67]

That spine is pretty cool, I like the trees surrounding. And the expressway through Mulingen is cool too.

I built my first overpass last night. Took me the good portion of an hour because the pieces were having a lot of trouble lining up. 1 2 You can see that it says "exit" even though its a right side freeway. 1 2 At least this one's labels are correct. It just wouldn't line up the right way.

And then I went and grew trees in the middle of it. -__-

Edit: After raging for about two hours at this interchange (notice the double yellow line on the onramp/offramp sections) I gave up and called it a job well done.

Actually thats quite easy to fix:

For those parts of RHW2 in the middle of smooth curves use filling pieces (in starter menu i think).

For longer parts - I'd rebuild on and off ramps. That should do it

When I'm not occupied with my duties as the Executive of Franklin County, I could use a vacation apartment .

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

An executive? We can't chuck you in one of the tenements then? Perhaps a townhouse or a penthouse with spacious views of the river and mountains?

[Higu 52]

I've got great waterview penthouses at competitive prices

Thank you sir. Had to flip through the readme twice to figure out which parts you were talking about. I then fiddled with the region for a while because I kept putting the fillers in backwards.

Now on to the rest of the region!

Sign me up.

Below is a connector highway from Kingston Hill. Despite the rural environment, over 20 000 commuters use this stretch on a daily basis:

[Mithrik 562]

This is my first attempt at a decent-looking RHW On & Off Ramp. What do you think?

[Haljackey 17,398]

Looks good but I have 2 comments.

1. What's with the avenue to road transitions near the intersections? Why not just drag your avenue through for a full ave-ave intersection?

2. The arrow markings on the RHW are best used when a lane or two leaves the highway itself. In your case no through lanes leave. If the rightmost lane left the RHW then it would look better with those markings.

Anyways great work and hope to see more from you!

Thanks Haljackey. I will answer you first comment by saying that I did try to make the avenue intersection, unfortunately, the game did not allow me to place the full interchange there, so I had to use a roundabout to this, as I didn't want to move the avenues. Anyways, since that was just an experiment, I didn't save it, though I may get to work on making some when I start the next region I am building.

[paulvmontfort 617]

Mithrik: Actually, it depends on the order in which you lay down your infrastructure. If you first construct the whole avenue that goes over the highway, there wouldn't be a problem to later connect the avenues parallel to the highway to them. The other way around isn't possible because the avenue to raised avenue transition puzzle pieces take up an extra tile to be able to connect them to the ground avenue. This extra tile however is nothing more than an ordinary piece of avenue that can later be overwritten
