WHOA!! Talk about weaving entrance/exits fishstix001! As discussed earlier, a "frontage" road is not an acceptable way to have the ramps configured in. Tarkus' model or the Parclo Interchanges prevent weaving and elimate the need for frontage roads. These configurations are used in (sub)urban areas, not in the countryside. A more internationally-friendly version should be made because frontage roads are only used in some areas in few countries. Heres a photo showing what should be done with the interchanges. Yes! http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=parclo&ie=UTF8&z=15&ll=42.940936,-81.17918&spn=0.015111,0.029268&om=1 No! http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=frontage+road&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF8&om=1&z=15&ll=43.176202,-79.240522&spn=0.015053,0.029268

Tarkus, I really like what you have done with this! But, Try to make the Avenue overpass look the same as the NAM Ave overpass tiles, with a concrete berrirer in the middle. Check out the NAM fourms for more info.

Wow, asome job! We need this badly! We may even use it to create the interchanges! Best of luck with that!

Sorry to revive this thread, but i have a great request! How about a lane merging sign? This is a sign that has not been made yet (i think) and would be useful to put at ave/road mergings and highway/ave mergings because you loose a lane. Heres some examples of what the signs look like This is what they look like here in Canada US Japan, China (PRC), Tiwan (ROC), and some other areas in Asia And heres one for some parts of Eurpe.. there is also a blue sign for highways, but I couldn't find a pucture If any of these could be made that would be great! It would add so much realism to the game when a lane ends on a road or highway.

If only I had TIME! I barely have any time anymore to play the game anyway!

Make sure you download it AFTER The NAM downloads. You can also assure it works by putting a "ZZZ" in frot of the file name or relplaceing next to the ANT in the NAM.

I would also love to see a roundabout interchange, however that and the SPUI cannot be encoded into the game for some reason unless it is made for an entriely new network... at least I think. Some Parclo interchanges are being developed for the Rural Highway (see that tread in this section, via my signature) because its a new network and therefore is possible.

Just a comment about your off ramp (tunnel exits). You have "only" words and arrows marked on the pavement as to direct which direction traffic should go in a paticular lane. But, if Im not mistake, the road carries onward as a one way road, which is two lanes. Thus, there should be at least two lanes marked for going straight through or "only" going straight through opposed to the one you have marked here. You could mark the right lane as being both a straight and right turn lane by making a similar markings found on the NAM ave/ave intersection. Anyways, a nice touch with the lighting and overhead signage. This will defineatly push the detail of the game as far as it will go!

East Coast (North America) vs. West Coast (North America) (by MadTV_Freak).... that is just for the USA.. not the whole continent. It may be better Camaron if it got its name "East Coast .vs. West Coast (American Coasts)" or East Coast .vs. West Coast (US Coasts). Once this is corrected I will delete my post so it wont stay unnessacarily in this pinned therad.

Okay, you NAM experts, heres a tough one. How can i fix this???? I used a monorail overpass with my elevated highway, but its 1 tile too long and interfears with another highway. Before the highway had to run as a ground highway for the monorail overpass but had huge slopes, diving under the network. I was able to patch one direction but cant fix the other. Help is appreciated.

Ok im givin it another shot Too Tunnel, bridge, overpass, incline... MTO Parclo A4 interchange A very werid interchange.. somthing random I made. How'd that passanger train get on the commuter network? And why are all its cars so different? Underpass and a 10 lane highway... Why do I never see and cyclists use that path?

As long as you have the NAM, ccecill, it will work. You can download the latest version of the Rural Highway via my signature at the bottom of my post, as there is no link for it yet on the STEX or modds and downloads. Have fun with this network!

Use Lakeyboys multihighway giude on the STEX to make highways that have 12 lanes. Use my tutorial in the RHW thread in Modding: transit networks to make highways that have 8 lanes, but you need to download the rural highway to make this.

Rate this Shadow!!! (Ya i know the beaches really mess this pic up) Isnt this one of the best shadows you have ever seen?

Originally posted by: Duke87 It crashes..... especially when I've just spent hours buiding up a city and forgotten to save.quote> LOL, just happened to me!!! UGG! I really dont like how diagional roads cannot even "try" to fit zones. It really sucks. When I make a diagional road in a biult up area I usially just use pavement or open grass areas for "Filler" zones which dont line up. Also, the highways in the game really suck. I wantted to see huge traffic jams on like 20 lane highways... in the game you may see a car or two even try to use a highway because sims avoid it. The stuff made on the STEX help this, making it look a little bit better (asphalt textures, Car generator, signs... and, of course, the Rural Highway [RHW]).

According to Enviorment Canada, the Artic region (anything north of the Artic Circle) has seen a REALLY above average summer this year. Temperatures this summer for the whole region were more than 2 degress Celcius higher than the average, which is very significant especially because it was the summer. This is the time when most glaciers melt, and this warming has actually created a trend over the past 20 years. Scarry stuff, eh? We better have a really chilly winter there this year in order to try to relieve a bit of the strain this has had on the artic landscape, and wildlife.

i have the same problem too. I formatted my computer and there is no automatic update.... just a messed up manual one. The BIGGEST problem with this is that you CANNOT roatate anything (using home/end) that is next to a road, it automatically faces the road and you cannot turn it. This makes placing things like road signs, which do not face the road, impossible! Any way this problem we are having can be fixed?

Absolutley awsome stuff. I'm a big fan of this stuff! Just one pointer... you have a pic of a two lane onramp merging into one lane in the entrance, but the sign overhead says "stay in lane". Is this right or is this wrong... just lettin you know. Also what does the "No HR" sign mean?

aaronperry, that pic there with the side-by side oneways to highways... wouldnt that mess up the network? Highways are two ways, not 2 one ways, arn't they? I think you know what im sayin... a two directional network on a one directional network doesnt make sence to me. It be better to turn that highway to 2 one ways or 2 oneway RHWs kinda like you stated.

Ya, oil is high everywhere, except in the USA where it is the cheapest in the world. The only other exception is here in Canada, where Oil is moderatley priced because we don't need to import the oil. What ever is leftover from us we sell to the big Oil companites in the States. CO2 and other greenhouse gases have caused the planet to heat up dramatically on a planetary scale. 2005 was the warmest year on record, and 2006 is going to be somewhere around #2. This doesnt mean that the earth is colling, we just "got lucky" I was watching CNN today and was angered saying that Gore's movie an inconvient truth is having a big impact on "the country". Typical American reporter... that movie is havign a big impact on the WORLD! Yea it plays everywhere! Why does the US stations see this global warming issue as an American issue and not a global issue? Would ratings go down or somthing? Or is the reality just too much for the American people? Australia and the USA gotta get off their A-holes and sign Kyoto. Only then can we really start to solve this global issue as a global society! We need every country commited to this issue, even losing one can have appoliptic consequences. One planet, one problem, one soluton as one inter-nation. Hey, no offence to any specific country, just the way goverments conterdict eachother... If we keep this up we will never reach a goal.

Just to clarify, you are talking about a partial Y interchange, right livinginthepast??? I have a higher-quality shot of this here http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=caldwell,+texas&ie=UTF8&om=1&z=16&ll=43.70643,-79.555221&spn=0.007352,0.021629&t=h&iwloc=A I do think, however, that this is currently in development and may be a part of the NAM soon.
