Show us your most Scenic Highways!

[Halen Of Dania 350]

Trust me the only impressive highways I see are blue lightnings and some other people . Maxis highways shouldn't really be called a legitiment highway cause there capacity's are way out of wak and they don't even look good . Now if you utilize the maxis highways with RHW and NAM one way roads and other pieces you can succesfully create a decent looking highway .

This is one main highway that goes through my downtown area of course it might not be the most scenic

@ ESTERNOCLEIDOMASTOIDEO: Wow that's awesome! It would be so cool to drive on that highway at night if it were real life.

Awesome pic there ESTERNOCLEIDOMASTOIDEO!

I've got one of just a rural highway, nothing that great

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

@Huston:Whoa!Nice use of FARoad pieces!Also, where did you get that bridge?

[Kifflom112 355]

US 15. The greenest drive into the Appalachian Mountains.

Here is mine:

I think we have our winner for the most scenic highway of Simtropolis!

[SAVAGExPHOENIX 955]

Roger, that is beautiful! I tried using the Olympic terrain mod, but I had trees placed with the Columbus terrain mod, and when I installed the Olympic, the trees from the Columbus disappeared and I couldn't build over them without a CTD I really like the Olympic more than the Columbus.

Hilly back-road in the Northern Appalachian Mountains.

I may not be a master yet, but here two of my favorites.

Below: This is about a year old. My work gradually gets better.

Below: This is a lot older picture taken. I am still trying to learn how to use mayor mode flora properly

The Inland Tollway as it goes through a mountain pass:

@nathanthemayor - cool pic, is that sign in the game, or post production?

It was modeled in GMAX, then GIMPed into the photo.

Mrtnrln, those freeways look great. I've always like you highways and intherchanges.

Nice freeway, Maarten! I like how wide and nice it is.

[Lucario Boricua 7,052]

Would anyone be interested on a mountain road that goes so upwards as to be above the perpetual snowcap limit?

This here is the Camino del Monte Ráfagas (Road of Mount Gusts)--most elevated road in the region, as it goes well above the permanent snows limit (most other roads of similar elevation in the region have tunnels just a bit below the permanent snows limit).

This here is a tiny village it services--currently half of the traffic the road gets comes from this place.

For comparison, I bring this other tall road of the region--located at Monte Colmillo (Mount Fang), this one has a breathtaking view to the Boca de Lobo (Wolf's Snout) waterfall, at the Cañón Rugiente (Roaring Canyon). If you notice the road's upper portion, you'd be able to see the tunnel it has just below the permanent snow limit.

And here I bring another scenic highway--this time it's the Río Neblina Freeway, along the rugged terrain of the river bearing the same name. This freeway is much more challenging because of the extreme steepness of the slopes, making it impossible to route it along a single slope throughout its entire stretch. In order to cope with the slopes, several bridges are needed, even if only to go across the side of a river bend. You can also see its setting--a really deep mountain valley, due to the snowcapped mountains surrounding it.

In case the image gets removed, here's its original link:

Guys, these are all beautiful. If I had to pick a favourite. Nathanthemayor, is that supposed to be a rest area?

[The Right Excellent Mayor 5]

Actually, I did not realise there were two more pages when I posted that comment, and meant to edit it anyway, but I will just say I really need to learn how to use mods because I am wondering if Sim City 5 is going to come out anytime soon with some cool graphics and allow you do actually do something. It's a pity one has to go through so much modding to get basic reality. I mean I know there will always be mods, because you can always make the game better, and I love Sim City 4, but really it was lacking in many areas.

[jacksunny 741]

I am wondering if Sim City 5 is going to come out anytime soon

We can only hope

[simlink 1,098]

@Dragonxander, love both postings, they look very scenic. I like how they curve around/through the mountains, great work!

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

A new scenic highway of mine-The B2 Ourside Madisonville as it winds it's way along the coast. Wanta stop at Lucky's and have a recharging boost before heading out again?

[Lucario Boricua 7,052]

I come here to re-define "most scenic highway"--how about this one? (experimental, will include one like this in my future Emeraldian Isles region):

This is the bridge of the Cascada Afuera--named like this because it's the outermost of the waterfalls on the Gran Volcán de las Aguas (Great Volcano of Waters--an extinct volcanic crater in middle of the deep jungle)

Here we have the general view of the area--this is where the magic happens:

And here's the magic!:

And this is the best seat in the house to see it all:

Finally, we leave the area, through this magnificent bridge:

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

@Dragonxander:I wouldn't want to make a mistake on that highway!

[Terring 6,476]

Holly cow, Dragonxander's highway is awesome

[riiga 234]

The old and new alignment of the same road. Both share the same scenic view:

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

My first use of FARHW pieces, the Jungletree Highway on Paridise Island.
