    Update 6!!!!! Road Trip 1

    About Cedardale Road Signs:

    Highway signs follow the traditional US standard of Big Green Signs(BGS) with some blue(attractions), yellow(instructional/cautionary) and white(HOV) signs

    regular roadway signs are all yellow

     

    We start our way zigzaging toward the new downtown im working on in Waverley Gap, with Exit 53 on I-17

    1and2.jpg


    1waverleygap.jpg


    At the end of the ramp we encounter a Directional sign

    2exit53.jpg


    We turn right onto Waverley Road, toward Historic Cedarville, a growing tourist attraction.


    31waverleyroad.jpg


    As we approach the following roundabout, formerly the center of cedarville, we encounter another sign

    32roundabout.jpg


    3roundabout.jpg

    We choose to continue on East CD(Cedardale) 12, Eastbrook Road


    60296645.jpg


    We come to the Old Cedarville Bypass intersection and turn left

    22166222.jpg


    The sign

    4bypass.jpg


    71591151.jpg

    As we continue on it becomes clear why this is called OLD Cedarville Bypass, since it practically goes through the middle of town now


    We intersect with Broadway Extesion now, in the industrial park

    81384355.jpg


    5boadway.jpg


    After going through more industrial development and Crossing the Central and Eastern Rail Line, we come to an interchange with Interstate-17 again.

    87652695.jpg


    You can see by the patches that route changes and age have riddled this sign.

    6smithbrookroadintercha.jpg


    We merge back onto Interstate 17 North Via a parclo

    16800209.jpg


    7onramp.jpg


    And we leave off merging into traffic on the interstate

    12980908.jpg


    Thats it....

    UNTILL NEXT TIME,

    Great update. I like your unique choice of yellow signs along surface streets as opposed to green. It likely makes the signs more noticeable, especially with all the turns on Route-12. I also like the RHW bridge for I-17 over Route-12.

    Your RHW are amazingly realistic. The signs work so well with everything else. I also like your use of FAR. Keep up the good work!

    Quick replies:

    cavscrew1- thanks

    Schulmanator- thanks for that, but all i did was use the kurumi sign maker

    dfnva-CD-12 really only has two real turns, the roundabout doesn't really count. Waverley Road->Eastbrook Road, turn onto Old Cedarville Bypas, turn onto Broadway

    Twenty20-Thanks

    Urbanterror-thanks

    Hey, I like this! I like the signs used, they are really good! I like the way how in previous updates, the city just keeps growing and getting bigger. Reminds me a lot of my city Oak Pines in my old Skagit County cj. https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=36&threadid=103852&STARTPAGE=1&FTVAR_FORUMVIEWTMP=Linear

    Keep up the good work! Also, could you point me in the direction of the factories to the right of Old Cedarville Bypass in the industrial park?

    Hey, nice update again.I like how the roads wrap around the mountain and how the radio tower is on the peak. As for the 'advertsement' thing...why would I advertise a dead CJ? I haven't touched that thing in 4 and a half months.....lol

    jacuilina-thank you

    Hawkeye9-Perfect, well, maybe as close to perfection as one can come12.gif

    UPDATE 8 Cedardale Airport

    and ambleburg

    1overview.jpg


    CD5 snakes its way through the Hamlet

    1overviewcd5.jpg


    Ambleburg is a VERY small hamlet(<200 citizens[see my blog for population statuses in CD])

    Thats why it was a perfect spot to build the airport to acommodate tourists coming to see Historic Cedarville and Industries shipping and Recieving Goods

    The Airport is VERY accessible by industries, due to a massive railyard.

    2railyard.jpg


    Here is the Main Cargo Center at the Airport, where the largest goods and quantities are handled

    Overview of the Airfeild

    The Hamlet of Ambleburg, including the Passenger Rail Station

    Interchange with US-522(522 splits off of i-17 between here and Cedarvil, which is quite a distance)

    And theAirport Services(Holiday Inn Express, Super 8 Motel, and a gas Station)

    Absolutely Amazing. I like all the dense foilage around the whole region. That mixed with Train Tracks, makes the region remind me of the model railroads I always used to enjoy making and looking at. I think this town needs a waterfront development on the right side of the Region. But that's just me.
