Santa Vegas has an average estimated population of 225,000. Geographically, it is composed of steep, mountainous terrain intersected by a river, flowing from northwest to southeast. Between the source of the river and its mouth, it widens, forming Lake Vegas. It then drains into the (Unnamed) Ocean. In the southeast, the scenic coastline dominates. The river is crossed only 4 times: The northernmost crossing consists of a pair of road bridges. The main road connection is 4 lanes each direction and the secondary connection is 1 lane each direction with tram tracks; The second crossing connects the island in Lake Vegas with the commercial zone via a pair of one-way 2 lane highways; The third and most vital crossing is a pair of highway bridges at the base of the lake carrying north-south traffic across; The final crossing is a 1 lane (in each direction) road at the mouth of the river connecting two monuments on each side. The remainder of the map consists of mainly mountainous terrain bounded by low-lying coastal plains. The easternmost dense development (Washington region) is particularly vulnerable to flooding due to the low elevation and immediately coastal location. Across the Bay--in the area of the southernmost river crossing--the industrial region here is prone to flooding despite the seawalls. Drainage is generally quick and the region rebuilds with ease. Finally, the most vulnerable region for tsunami impact is just north of the Washington region where there is a small lagoon. When a tsunami impacts the region--no matter its direction--the shape of the lagoon creates ripples and rebounds the energy of the water, often pushing water back into areas just affected by water. Further north, east of the International Airport, a recent major tsunami inundated the airport and surrounding developments; something that had not previously occurred. Fortunately, tsunamis will not flow any further than about the middle of Forrest Park due to a waterfall in the river; the elevation change is (luckily) too great for even the most extreme tsunamis. Apologies, these screenshots were taken during a tsunami event. Please, comment with any questions you might have!

Currently recovering from ongoing tsunami impacts...

Here's a view of my downtown, urban interchange. So many ramps squeezed in! Here's a very small but efficient downtown interchange in another part of the city. This next one is a doozie. It flows constantly but is the primary interchange into my huge industrial district.

Here's the business district with the <A HREF="">UN Building</A> and the <A HREF="http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/21981-one-world-trade-center/">Freedom Tower</A>. And an overview of the downtown areas with the NAM Plain RHW-4 compact suspension bridge and Avenue raised bridge across the "pond." Here's the famed (and slightly dilapidated) arts district, featuring <A HREF="">The Eiffel Tower (La Tour Eiffel)</A> and the modern art museum.

An overview map Here's that enormous dual-10S highway basket-weave interchange (i.e. I-39 & I-66)

Grandal is a wealthy suburb of New City, NR, connected by I-25 from Lincoln, NR to New City, NR and NR 65 as well. I really like the <A HREF="https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=394">Modern House pack</A> by mattb325! This highway , I-325, divides the (mostly) residential area from the commercial and industrial parts.

Here's McDuell's Basic Full Diamond Interchange between I-25 and I-16, instructions <A HREF="https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=14078.msg469483#msg469483">here</A>.

Interchange of I-25 and rural road I-39 to Frasier, NR I-39 at I-16

3 major highways: I-25, I-39, and I-16.

This is the junction and connections between I-475, a loop off of I-75; Central Parkway, a connector between the central city and the suburbs; and NY 275, a spur connecting I-475 with an avenue. All systems are ground highway. Large section of I-75, connecting southern Central City with northern Central City (S-N); I-515/I-475, two concurrent loops (where I-475 splits off to the north and I-515 conjoins with I-15 to the east); and the ICCC.

The Inter-County-City Connector (ICCC)/President's Tollway/President's Beltway: This elevated highway provides a fast connection for residents who live in the far reaches of the region but work in the city. This is the northern terminus with Interstate 15 (I-15) and the Eastern Expressway. The Eastern Expressway connects western portions of the city with the eastern portions by means of limited-access ground highway. Its junction with I-15 is constructed as a stack interchange and is noteworthy due to its proximity of the city (much like the High Five in Dallas, TX).
