Very nice Zimmie!

 

Widening/rebuilding a RHW in a dense city... pause on for obvious reasons.

-The project also involves building an additional rail line (was just one before).

One more pic of my project symphony experiment that I managed to save before the CTD. Got a lot of work to do to just to get back to where I was and they never end up the same. Anyhow, thought this shot looked kinda cool for a simple scene - elevated section.

Nice urban highway. How do you add those parking lots under Project Symphony MHW? Do you use the SFBT Urban Highway Set by exziviben? Thanks.

After a small hiatus due to RL, I decided to equip my highways with Nique's excellent Modular Hiwhay Barriers and Mandelsofts Highway Light Replacement Mod:

Nice photo! I really like those soundwalls that Nique made, but I'm just waiting for him to make some diagonal lots before I can consider versatile enough to be a true replacement for Deadwoods' extremely-overscaled soundwalls.

Have you checked this SFBT set? Granted, it's based on German sound walls, but they look true to scale and should be very flexible.

Yes, I use those and I really like them, but the only downside is that they don't have overhanging lots like Deadwoods' soundwalls do.

I've downloaded those and have yet to use them, so it's nice to see them in action.

 

One criticism I have, however, is your sign bridges at the exit gores (both sides) - IRL the avenue bridge would be an obstruction and nobody would be able to see those until the last second.

Are there 7.5 Meter bridges over RHW???  Every time I use the bridges they are 15

Yes, you have to use the Draggable Elevated Avenue pieces to get 7.5 m bridges. This is the best new NAM feature that nobody seems to know about.

I still can't figure out how to drag out the 7.5 meter bridges.  Ugh, frustrating how many things I can't do in this game.

They work like the starters in RHW. You put down the height transition and then drag the network from either side. You don't actually drag the network all the way through the transition, or it will give you that annoying "unsuitable area to build network" message.

2 shots that haven't been released yet from a while back...

Random interchange :P

What a fantastic picture! Where did you find those palm trees? :)

I'm not entirely sure what the name of it is since it's an old pic but maybe you could try

AFAIK, those are part of Cycledogg's Mega Props Vol.02. The file contains a truckload of tropical and desert flora (next to the usual stuff for temperate climates), but I don't know if the MMP exemplars are included in said prop pack or if they are a separate download. In the latter case I'm afraid I don't have a link or a name. :lost:

 

The pictures are awesome, though! :golly: They have lots of character and that tropical / mediterranean vibe. Not something you see every day, at least not in that quality!

Thank you! I really appreciate it, I'll probably do more in the future when I get back to building Asian cities :)

Nice shots! I like how you have L1 and diagonal L2 Project Symphony highway in that first shot! And that tram line running down the middle of the freeway is also pretty neat-looking!

The busy Halton Expressway. It has been continuously upgraded and expanded. It stretches from the city limits to a freeway and is now almost entirely grade-separated.

An important merging point between two dense cities:
