Coming Soon

This page will display Resource Maps and Transportation Systems of the Island of BluePort.

Roads

#1 - County Roads - These roads will only retain their designations within a users city limits. They CAN leave the city however will lose their designition afterward. County Roads do NOT need to follow a numbering scheme and are very flexible. The County Road shield is up to the user to provide.

  • User County Road Networks-
    • BluePort (Need4Camaro)
    • Jacksonville (Yoshiisland)

#2 - State Roads - Blue Port is property of the Island of Newark and the United States. State Roads will carry a State Shield and a Number and can retain their designition throughout the island. State Road designitions however are not as flexible as county roads and will require council before they can placed. State Roads are not limited to the type of roadway they can utilize so they can be one way roads, standard roadways, or expressways both tolled and untolled.

#3 - Interstates - Blue Port is apart of the United States and elligible for federally funded expressways. To qualify for Interstate Designition, the roadway must be access controlled and free of tolls. Also there are standards and grades of which an Interstate must meet. However the advantage is the user who builds them is funded 75% of the cost to build it and 50% of the monthly maintenance fees. Like state roads, counciling is necessary to determine its routes.

#4 - Tollroads & Turnpikes - Hi Capacity Expressways that are necessary when the federal or state funds are unavailable for them can be built by a contractor. Contractors can negotiate the terms of pay and tolling schedule for them. Tollroads are individual highways while Turnpikes are typically longer tollroads that carry subsidary systematic tollroads along with them. Turnpikes and Tollroads CAN carry state or county roads but they must also be provided with their own route designition from the contractor


Railroads

#1 - Heavy Rail - Can carry freight or passengers throughout your city. You can have contractors develope a rail line between destinations and/or throughout your city. There's no limit to use of the heavy rail, but be respectfull that railroads have much less tollerance to grades than roadways.

#2 - Light Rail / Subways / Monorail - BEST used between suburban areas and the inner city, but once again there is no limit to use and they will be allowed to travel over long distances.
