    Thanks; what's the difference, if any/why do they both exist? I'm assuming it's the thing that basically looks exactly like the tram-in-road to road ramp? I also read some documentation that was telling me for these stations (what's TE, btw? the glossary link is broken) should be connected up by adding the appropriate street/road/one-way on top of them, but it only allows you to do one-way and I don't totally get what I'm supposed to be doing there/how necessary it is.

    I ultimately did figure out that the viaduct ramps would fit by network erasing a square on each end, and the heavy rail viaduct does work well for this -- I see trains going over it, etc. Can you give me slightly more specifics on how to do what you suggested with the FLUPs (which is actually one of the things I was trying to do). I actually had it backwards -- I thought tram-in-road was the cement median one, but I see it's the one where the entire thing is blacktop, so I actually had tram-IN-road, but apparently wanted tram-on-road. At any rate, what do I do with the specific square that is under the crossing? It seems like I've got to put underground tram under something. Like, is it underground tram parallel with road and try to add rail? My understanding is that most of these crossings don't allow two things to cross another thing, which is sort of what happens here, and that typically you can't add a "network" to one of these puzzle piece tiles. Thanks in advance -- lots of these only work if done with the right tile in the right order, and it's a hard thing to figure on the more complicated crossings. PS: are the trams supposed to look like subway cars in the street, or does that mean I messed something up? PPS: is it possible to have an in-road tram station that provides road access to the zone that is next to it? Is there a special trick? I added one of those and the zone now shows no road access. I think I tried to do it over again in a different order, and same deal. Thanks!

    I've browsed around this site a bit and given myself a bit of a headache with the acronym soup (I'm new to using NAM at all), but I haven't found the answer to my question. I am trying to add tram-on-road to a 4-lane narrow road. It crosses a road with a turning lane in the middle, and some other streets and roads, and I got most of that dealt with, but I'm struggling with a heavy rail crossing. Given the design of the roads in that area, the easiest way to deal with this would be a flexible underpass for the road with the tram. I could potentially put the train on a viaduct, but there's a standard SC4 turn right after there, so I'd have to elevate a lot of it -- those ramps are pretty long. Is there another/better idea? Thanks, this is neat software, and I'm just playing SC4 for the first time.
