*Another* highway on/off ramp??

[Goggles 1]

Hi all,

The NAM is fantastic - no doubt about that. But I feel it's missing something. Does anyone know if it's possible, has been tried and failed, or exists even, a highway on/off ramp that looks something like the picture attached (sorry about the horrible paint art, I'm using a laptop mousepad!)

To give a written description, a highway ramp that merges into a single road tile at the end, pointing in the same direction. Now before you say it, I know there are existing ramps that meet a T-intersection (commonly used on sunken highways) and ramps that meet a perpendicular piece of road (commonly used for over/underpass roads), but I'm thinking is something like highway ramp, with a join at the end, and possibly one piece of road. It's fairly common around the motorways of the UK, where an off ramp might meander for some distance before meeting the tributary road it leads to. Also, I think it would be nice to have the flexibility where desired to have the off ramp last a lot longer.

Just wanted to know if this is possible. I've been missing it in my cities, and I've seen some other people miss it in their CJ's too, where an elevated highway has a parallel off ramp with an ugly extra piece of road leading to nowhere.

Like this?

You won't need to wait much longer there'll be one in the next NAM thanks to ArkenbergeJoe

warrior: I think he means a ramp without a one-tile gap between the one way road and the highway.

Goggles: If you want to build ramps the way you described, the Rural Highway (RHW) mod would be your best choice. You can also extend the ramps to make them longer if you so wish, something you stated in your post.

With each new NAM release, additional content is added to this amazing mod. The ramp warrior showed will be one such addition.

Hope this helps!

Best,

Actually the one warrior showed was exactly what I had in mind. Great, can't wait for the next update!

EDIT but thanks for pointing me towards the RHW too haljackey... something I never looked at before. Possibly as great an addition as the NAM itself...!
