Map of the never build roads
On the road map you'll see that there are A numbers missing. These are motorways numbers that once planned, but never be built. For the first time, I show this plans in my MD. The reason that the roads are not built, or build one a smaller scale is difficult to say. Some plans were simply not needed. Others were impossible to implement as motorway. Remember that the region is started whit out the RHW-mod.
A small note on the map. The A13 is indicated on the map, but soon there will be a small part be built. The part between the A4 at Boxtel - and the A28 at Ressen. This motorway should not be built because it is a natural area. As part of the rail-link with Belgium has decided to build a tunnel under the natural area inc. a tunnel for the motorway A13. To finance this project will be the A13 a toll road. The local residents and the nature organizations will be involved in the design of this project.

An what do you think?
Very nice first post.
Love the highway land bridge over all that rail. In one of the frist pics, I would suggest the rail going over the canal, instead of under. You show a very good mix of W2W and newer commercial towers together, looks believable this way. Especially because you placed the towers along the water front, prime property there. I would also make one other suggetion for you...and that is to turn off the grid when taking pics, (press"G" ).
Good to see another new MD. &apls

Nice work on your large industrial areas, and great looking mix of new and old buildings.
I like it, remains so.
Very nice start, fantastic images!!!

Nice update. I was wondering for a moment why you build two elevated train lines next to each other. Then I realized that one is heavy and the other light rail. ;)
Upgrading A1 near the airport 2x3. This whole highway will be upgrade soon.

Very nice highway. I am just not sure about the roundabout where the avenue transitions to a two lane road. Seems like a major bottleneck to me.
Nice area. Spatious, great railways AND great highways. That intersection in the last update with the weak connection realized over the exit ramps is a great idea.
However you should take care to take off the grid. Also your JPGs are rather huger; you could reduce them to 150-200 kb per picture without any remarkable loss of quality.
Also I would not zone agriculture (or anything else) directly next to the Highway. That brown base texture next to the fields in your intersection pics really distracts; just dezone the tiles next to the Ramps and it'll look way better.
Take care!
Bernhard :thumbsup:
So time for a update, i like the RHW tool. Al highways of the region while be upgrade soon. Here a look at the old highway A1, i will upgrade this highway soon.

I'm missing one thing: signs. How do people know where they are going? I have quite a lot signpacks on the STEX, as well as an Euro RHW texture mod.
I have to agree a bit with msrtln even though I am a bit lazy with signs, too - but how do you find your exit in this labyrinth of highways and ramps? :D
Nagging Ol' Nardo has found something else to nag on, though:
First picture, that avenue that crosses the river and ends in that avenue roundabout: The last exit on the left just before the border of the map, why didn't you stay up and connect the avenue with the road with a single short ramp?
Other than that: I enjoyed that update! :)
Take care

Very nice pictures. I love your transit network. Congratulations my friend. &apls
hey! this is nice! if only i could pull off those awesome highway interchanges in my cities
Hi Paul,
This is a really nice region.
I myself don't really bother a lot about the RHW system. I don't use it because I am lazy.
But your region has some very nice ideas of using the high rise buildings and the canals. I like the view, although it is hard to tell what it is exactly that makes your region nice.
Would you be so kind to show some seaport developments?
Groeten,
FrankU
Very nice Highway system! What is the piece that takes the RHW-4 underground?
Nice Highway system my friend ! &apls
Wow! :o Very nice transit network. What with all of the use of RHW, canals, wide radius curves, circles (round- a-bouts), tracks (for trains), and GLR, it's no wonder your region is so amazing!
Never have I seen a transportation network as fantastic as this one. Not even in real life. I can't wait for your next update!

Well you could use one-way-road FLUPs, avenue FLUPs, one-way-road tunnels, or avenue tunnels. It appears as though
Paul 999 is using a mix of avenue tunnels and avenue FLUPs.
As always: good work :)
interesting that the transport system, I hope there is not much traffic jam
You have a very interesting transit system in both rail and highways.
Graet work!

This has to be one of the best regions I've ever seen in my time as a SC4 player.
The transport system is fantastic, and you haven't neglected the urban areas either.
If I didn't have my work cut out with my MD before, I sure do now! Keep going and you'll go miles (or should that be kilometres?)
very nice! just out of curiosity: do the canal carry any traffic?

Your highway layouts are very interesting and creative. I particularly like the huge roundabout. I can picture how it would look in real life.

Nesara Investment Fund
Greetings! The Nesara Investment Fund is the investment arm of the Nesara Council, the governing body of the state of Nesara. After extensive research on the land of New Holland, we humbly put forth a proposal to New Holland requesting information on any investment opportunities that might be available. The NIF has no specifics to what kind of investment it might be (trade, industry, real estate, finance, etc), and we would be very interested in finding a mutually beneficial way to do business together.
Our reports suggest one of the largest seaports in the region is located in New Holland, making it a prime location for trade, and while we certainly are not limiting ourselves to that sector, the NIF would be interested in investing money in developing a large factory near the seaport, specifically a TILES factory.
(Great update by the way! Your seaport is one of the best I've seen! And your work with the new NAM roads is amazing!)
Great update and as mentioned before, you have one of the best transportation networks I've ever seen. Great job! &apls I just wanted to let you know that if you want European textures for the NWM and your TuLEPs, you can download the new texture set here on the STEX (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=24632). That way, your roads look more uniform having the same textures.
nice update :D but whats going on with the tram in the 6th pic, its derailed or something :p

Nice region maps. I really like to browse the tiny details of a well developed region in region view. Its always great to see when the mayor plays the region as a whole, and not just a set of neighbooring cities.
Why do I recognize every cityname on there?
Whereabouts in 's-Hertogenbosch (or surroundings) do you live?

Nice update! Everything looks nice and realistic. Your metro project looks really good, too. Just wondering, but in the last and second to last pictures, why are there two subway stations right next to each other? ()what() I can't wait for your next update!
Oh and BTW, the region you're using, did you make it yourself, or did you download it?
Use your imagination, there are to stairs to one subway station ;)
I use the 'Region with Large Cities by Nathanthemayor' http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=22972
Your construction work turned out very well, I like the large square in front of the Central Station, the large avenue you have made is looking good as well.
Fantastic job on the grand central station and surrounding area! I like the parks along your avenues as well!

In a next update i will show more of the highway A7. I hope you like it ;)
Nice update man, I love the city you made in these pictures. Also nice work with the highway, really good looking ! &apls
Cool highway project. You build some very nice interchanges and intersections.
Excellent! You've done a lot of great work. Cool highway and interchanges!
But I also like Vught. Especially the first picture: very interesting estate, city "centre" and N266 (am I right?) with those angles :) But why you using US textures of FAR?

Yes thats is the N266, this road is the main road of the city before the A4 was build.
I use the US texture because i don't have the Euro texture of this road's. Where can i find the euro mod?
Well, to be honest I'm not sure, where I have them from. I think it's updated there:

Congratulations on OSITM, and very nice update!!!
The N261 will be upgrade soon. We have much talked about but now it's really going to happen. The conversion of the N261 will begin next month. The works will take one year, this is short but It is easy to extend this road. Because the embankments and viaducts all appropriate for the capacity of the extend. The route will be expanded to 2x2 lanes.
Before this massive conversion is start I will look back on the road how it looks to day.
The starting point of the N261 whit the A2 (on the top left). There will be no major changes occur.

This interchange is very important. In the feature we will extend the A9, the highway will be constructed under the N261.

Soon there is a big update with the new N261.
Looking forward to to see the upgraded road. Sounds like a good plan.
Hmm, a lot of traffic, I wish I won't have to stay in them!
Maybe think about regional train system in order to decrase amount of cars. Ask EU for grant :D
Your interchanges are great! ;D Gives me ideas for some of my own.

Wow! Great update, Paul 999. Everything is always so smooth and realistic. Keep up the good work! :thumbsup:
Oh and on a side note, in the picture where we see the current N261 narrowing to 2x1 lanes, there is a puzzle piece for the transition from an Avenue to an AVE-2 NWM network.

Today the Minister of Transport and infrastructure announced that there is money available for the traffic congestion around the city 'Boschelona' and 'De Dieze'. Concretely, this means that A1 and A4 will be expanded to 2x3 or 2x4 lanes. With better connections with the underlying network.
The plans are divided into four phases. Phase 1 is to extend the existing A4 and the diversion of the N260 with a new slipway and interchange to the A4.

Phase 2 includes the extension of the A1 to 2x4 lanes. The junction with the A4 and A8, with parallel tracks for through traffic. Furthermore, the light rail link to be extended (Airport - Boschelona CS).

In the rush, I still take the time to post an update.
The city 'Maasvlakte' is building a new residential area on the west side of the railroad. The new district has a connection to the tram network in the city. Here you see the new tram crossing with a tunnel for the other traffic.

The extension is located next to the railway. This section of the railroad belonged to one of the busiest railways in the region. With a four-track profile and the tram that runs parallel to Maasvlakte central station. This required a number of facilities, such as noise barriers and a tunnel for the other traffic.

Thanks for the comments everybody!
I live i 's-Hertogenbosch. The most city names are in the surrounding of Den Bosch. Only Boschelona is a other name... it comes of Barcelona $%Grinno$%
I gathered as much. Where exactly do you live? I used to live on the edge of the Bossche Broek next to the 'Oude Paleis van Justitie', close to Chalet Royal, with my parents, but I moved to Enschede. Studying. ;)

In this update, no major highway expansions. But rural area, the village is called "Vlissingen". We look first to the N1 a non-motorways, arranged according to the Sustainable Safety principle. The concept of Sustainable Safety aims to reduce road fatalities. Soon will be more rural roads in the area converted by the Sustainable Safety principle.

This update is all about the new N266. The N266 is the new 'randweg' road in Vught. The extension and diversion of N266 reduces traffic on the roads in the village. The upgrade of the road is of the safe and sustainable basis.

Very nice usage of the RHW, Tulep and NWM mods :thumbsup:
Nice update. I like the roundabout intersection. :thumbsup:
I agree with above, the RHW is very well used, the layout is quite impressive.

Orange = new motorway
Yellow = current highway expansion
Blue = tunneling of existing highway (A1 at Maasvlakte)
Pink = new rail link (Betuweroute)
An explanation we start on the left side of the card. The port of Maasvlakte is currently at its maximum capacity. For years we had the largest port in Europe. Now we are overtaken by other countries. The port of Maasvlakte will come back to the first place. There are major expansion plans ready. Thus, the container capacity doubled, and there is more place for the chemical branch. A better rail connections with the hinterland and Germany is also part of the plan, Betuweroute (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betuweroute). The highways of the city expanded and rebuilt. The A1 and A2 are in the current situation across the city. The A1 is placed in a tunnel and get 2x4 lanes. The A2 is placed around the city and get a completely new route to 2x3 lanes.
Then we go to the right, the extension of the A9. This highway is part of the ring part of The Dieze. The expanded A4 belongs here too. In this update we see phase 1 of the extension of the A9, the current A9 get a cloverleaf interchange.
Then we went to the N27. The construction of this road is not 100% guaranteed. There is a problem with the funding it is now looking at the potential for a PPP structure. Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is a form of cooperation between a government and one or more private companies. This type of contracting is very popular in the Netherlands.
In the past year we has expanded the A1 from 2x2 to 2x3 lanes. The junction with the A9 has undergone a major renovation. The old situation seen we here.

Motorways, Motorways, Motorways, all thoose great motorways ;D
Nice updates =)
Good job with railways :)
Nice job laying out those highways! :thumbsup:
3 years ago it was decided that two new north-south connections will be build the A9 and the A27/N27. The A9 has been completed. The route is a A27/N27 upgrading of existing roads. The road number N267 disappears altogether, the N266 will disappear only when Vught. The A27/N27 is the new North-South corridor.
The project includes the construction of tunnels, viaducts and a cloverleaf junction with the A261. The highway is largely in an urban area. The rebuilding of this highway and construction costs are very high. This is the richen that the government has converted the project to a PPP contract, industry provides funding for the project and the government will pay in the long term portion. Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is a form of Cooperation between a government and one or more private companies. This type of contracting is very popular in the Netherlands.

Then we look at the first part of the new A27/N27. The part of Boschelona connection with the A1. Here is the road profile changed to a motorway profile. The connection with the A1 still has traffic lights, a fully grade separated node is not possible due to limited spaces.

That's it for this time, next time we look at the section by Bossche Broek and Vught.
Wow, so many highways, and all of them are so realistic and well-built :thumbsup:
Another couple of interresting intersections....
Really nice layed out highway network :thumbsup:
I like what i see :)
In this update we look at the second part of the new A27/N27 North-South Corridor. This section of the road existed as N266 and N267 and randweg Vught.
We start with Bossche Broek, here the new A27 crosses the A261 with a cloverleaf.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg684.imageshack.us%2Fimg684%2F7251%2F22537873.jpg&hash=4d84ed55066b3be5859e9977f8f695444530b1ce)

The new A27/N27 was making a major challenge for the designer and the contractor. Over the whole project is little space available and the existing road can't not close during the construction.
The biggest challenge was to create a connection at Boschelona South. The new structure of the node can handle the traffic quite well, expansion is impossible because the limited space.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg153.imageshack.us%2Fimg153%2F9551%2F51127939.jpg&hash=a324330551407eb88806ffe30f1d9bcde4b6a4ad)
The route to Bossche Broek is very close to the buildings. The business had no need to move. There is also chosen here for tunnels because less space.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg841.imageshack.us%2Fimg841%2F9643%2F52179092.jpg&hash=09bc75d3075dca64d6d6206b9705701a3ba1a189)
Also in the next connection is a tunnel built. The tunnel here is somewhat larger because there are plans for a tram link across the tunnel.

The clover is actually an expensive solution for connecting with the A261. In the original design would get the N27 traffic lights. The industry has raised money to make a cloverleaf possible. Right now they want to pay for a better road. As the recently completed junction of the A9 with the A261 a bottling neck since the opening.

Then we proceed whit the section at Vught. This section of the road is an upgrade of the existing randweg Vught. This road had a 2x1 profile and crossings designed as roundabouts. There are many people who have left Vught both the capacitate of main roads are not enough. The A27 is possibly part of the solution.

Hi! Great work. By the way! How did you get those Euro blocks (those spanish looking) to grow? Pictures 11 and 14. I can't seem to grow the 4x8 and 4x4 version, but if I plop them over empty or build up areas, only one in a 100 doesn't get abandoned. =S
I don't i have no problems whit the grow of those buildings. I don't use plop for resident buildings.

As usual cool updates =)
Wow :o
Today a minor update to the new eastern ring road of Boxtel. In the old situation was much traffic through the village. The construction of the eastern ring road should be prevented. The road was built with 2x1 lanes and roundabouts and has been named N268. On the A12 take the exit N268 Boxtel expanded to 2x2 lanes.
The village of Boxtel would like to expand. Here is taken into account in the construction of the eastern ring road. The eastern beltway N268 corresponds to the junction with the A4 and N263 Rosmalen.

Today we look at the rebuilt N279. The road has been redesigned by the Sustainable Safety principle. In recent years at various locations in the Netherlands refurbished roads in safe and sustainable basis.
Under the old system was a part of the N279 2x2 lanes with traffic light intersections. The road is now fully converted to 2x1 lanes with roundabouts. The road may be degraded because the A9 has been extended. Since the opening of the A9, drive a lot less traffic on it.
Here you see the rebuilt junction with the A9 by Witte Wielen.

Seine - Nord Europe Canal
Today we look at the greatest inland waterways project of Europe from the 21st century. The 105-kilometre-long canal will connect the Seine and Scheldt rivers and facilitate the transport of goods through inland waterways. When the new Seine Nord connection is ready, it will allow large vessels to transport goods between the Seine river (and the Paris area) and the ports of Dunkerque, Antwerp, and Rotterdam, or further into Europe. More information about the Nord Europe Canal can you found here. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seine%E2%80%93Nord_Europe_Canal)
Concretely this means for New Holland that there is made a completely new channel from the port of Boschelona. The canal runs parallel to the N282. The N282 is a major north-south connection. See the maps below:

Seine - Nord Europe Canal
Today we look at Part 3 of the new channel. This section is located in the towns Ressen and Graven. De N282 is also Parallel to the canal in this area.
De N282 is a very busy road to has daily massive traffic jams. De traffic flow is bad to many small accidents happen on many dangerous intersections to roundabouts. There is a plan for the road section between Nieuw Vennep Ressen to expand into a 2x2 motorway.

Nice update! I really like that modern building in the 5th picture--can I ask where you found it? Look forward to seeing how the ring-road turns out :thumbsup:
Good job. I'm curious how the light rail will turn out.
Today we look at the new light rail in Vught. The new line is linked to the existing light rail network of the De Dieze. The channel between the De Dieze and Vught had to be bridged. The construction of the light rail connection has been a disaster. The budget was exceeded by 80%. Vught had more light rail connections planned. The implementation of these plans is under heavy pressure.
The extension begins with the ride of the De Dieze alongside the A9.

Great work on the last update; some familiar buildings being used in a different way there! Always good to see!
It's humbling to see that not every project works out well. /wrrd%&
The A261 / N261 has in recent years taken an increasingly important role on the main roads network. The direct surroundings of the road changes significantly there. There are many homes and businesses built. The construction of the A9 resulted in an increase in traffic on these routes. The A9 is a busy motorway, which last for a small part is widened to 2x3 lanes. The A261 / N261 forms an important link in the network and should be also be well established.
The current A261 / N261 has a lot to do with traffic jams, especially at the southern part of "The Dieze". This section should be at least be widened to 2x3 lanes. The nodes need to be converted for a better traffic flow. The Minister of Transport has decided that the entire A261 / N261 will be converted to a motorway named A26. The busiest parts of the motorway will be expanded to 2x3 lanes.
A part of the work has already started. We look at the beginning of the N261 the connection with the A2. The traffic lights will be removed here. There will be here a split level junction with the A2.

There was no bridges here, the fist pictures of this update is about a other junction. Here a picture of the old situation:

I am in awe at your transport network! I'm terrible at road planning and have no idea how to use Tuleps, RHW, etc. so hats off to you sir!
The construction works on the widening and reconstruction of the A261 / N261 are ready. The road is now completely renumbered to A26. The new road number shows that it is not longer a provenience motorway. The A26 motorway is part the main road network.
Which works are implemented in this project?
- New junction of the A2, 2x3 lanes (junction of whit parallel structure 2-3 x 3-2);
- A26 from 2x2 lanes to 2x3 lanes wide, at the southern part of De Dieze;
- Two new connections to the motorway
- New junction of the A9, the A9 has been widened to 2x4 lanes;
- New junction of the city ring road of the De Dieze (seen in the last update);
- Various viaducts tunnels have been replaced or built;
- Railway expansion, duplication of the existing track;
- Redesign of several roads.
We start with the A2. The A2 has recently expanded to 2x3, this was not possible on the old route. The A2 is now following a different route, you see the curve of the rearranged A2. Here begins the parralelstructuur of the junction with the A26.

The surroundings had many objections to the construction of the node. The companies were afraid to lose the direct connections to the motorways . In order to understand this problem is an viaduct built for the underlying road network.

Great job in your transport system , congratulations !

Hmm, the highway underpasses look vulnerable to flooding. :P
The underlying road network in the town Nieuw Vennep fills up densely. Each day the traffic stuck on the 2x1 routes the connections to the A4 is a disaster. Research shows that there is much traffic from the A26 (A261) and the A4 coming. This traffic goes via the N264 to the N282. There must be a better connection between these roads.
There are several route investigated:
Option 1: Extend of the N264 to N282. Both roads are carried out with 2x2 lanes.
Option 2: N268 bypass Boxtel widening to 2x2 lanes. With a new connection to the A12.
Option 3: Extend of the N263 as a motorway number A13.

We chose an option with this option we will widening the existing N264 and part of the N260. And the N264 shall be extended to the N282. The other options are eliminated by the negative effects that these give the existing traffic movements.
Meanwhile, the road has been made in this update we look at the part that already existed. The expansion of the N260 and N264.
The new junction with the A4 gets a lot of traffic to process. For this is the parallel track of the motorway expanded to 3 lanes. Between the junction with the A26 (A261) and the connection with the N264.

There is a tunnel built for the direction N264 - N260. The question is if this was smart, the traffic flows lets see that the tunnel better for the N264 could be built. Left and right you see the N264. Below you see the N260. The N264 is carried out on the right in a narrow 2x2 lane road without segregation.

Thanks for the responses. I have some pictures of the rail network, and some overviews.
The Betuweroute is the new transport link with Germany. This rail link gets the freight trains away from the regular rail. This new direct connection is better for everyone. Moreover, this creates more capacity on the regular rail for passers trains.

Really enjoying the rail based updates!
The transport improvements to the Port are great!
In this update we will continue with the Betuweroute. This will be the last update of the Betuweroute, the most northern part I still have to build. So today we see the Betuweroute along the big city De Dieze.
Left shows the Betuweroute. Right you can see the A2 and the end of the 2x3 lane part. Plans are being made for this part of the A2 widening to 2x3 lanes.

Wow, this is amazing ! I love your work with canals, network & industrial areas... really nice to look at :) :thumbsup:
A while back, the N264 / N265 / N282 widened to 2x2 lanes. The following map shows the options there were then. Option 1 is selected and is now completed. The municipality of Boxtel said that money must come to improve traffic safety on the N268. The road has become busier in recent years. The road has 2x1 lanes and overtaking ban over the whole length, speed limit 80 km/our. The agricultural traffic also uses this road, this is often slow traffic. Despite the ban on overtaking a lot of traffic overtaking to pass the slow traffic. This causes many accidents on the N268. Netherlands is full whit 2x1 roads with an overtaking ban on the entire lengths. These roads are all laid out in the context of Sustainable Safety. At this moment begins the question about the true safety of this. The drivers are ignoring the ban and are sat about the patronizing.

That something must be done on the N268 is clear. There is no money for a full 2x2 road whit split level connections. We chose 2x1 dual carriageway with a central reservation. The road is so developed that a widening to 2x2 lanes in the future, easy to make.

I like farms and roads!
After the construction of the N264 and the split level connection to the N282 was announced that in time the whole N282 will be converted conversion to A28. The N282 is a 2x1 road with roundabouts and intersections. The road is very crowded and a conversion to to 2x2 lanes must be carried out. Related to land developments and the expected traffic growth has been chosen for a motorway. There is a budget to create this in two major phases. The phasing is set out below.
Phase 1 - 2x1 section conversion to 2x2 lanes
- Node with the A5 - A28
- Connection southern bypass Hoofddorp
- Cloverleaf interchange with the A12 - A28 / N282 partially open
- Degrade N260, N264 follow through traffic
Phase 2 - to 2x2 section conversion to a motorway
- 2 connections Hoofddorp
- 2 connections Ressen
- Cloverleaf interchange with the A12 - A28 complete open
- Connection to the N267
- Construction of a new route N267
- Connection northern bypass Graven

I like that update =) As usual nice work on the roads but I also like thoose 70's style neighbourhoods like the one near the intersection at Hoofddorp Noord.
Fantastic new update! And the overview is really nice. Great work on it... :thumbsup:
A fine, fun roadgeeky MD. It's my pleasure to visit for the first time. Don't worry about language issues, I bet I can't speak a word of your native language, and I understand what you have to say just fine. Thanks very much for showing us New Holland!

Work on the new A28 is completed. Today, the A28 officially opened by the Minister of Transport. The opening took place at the new junction with the A12. An important reason for the A28 to build was the expected growth in freight traffic to Belgium. This growth is due to the expansion of the port of Maasvlakte. In the future we are still expecting growing. Today the Minister of Transport also announced two plans in the context of a reliable connection to Belgium:

- A1 extend to Belgium (conversion of the existing N1 at Vlissingen)
- A12 widening to 2x3 lanes to Belgium
Both projects have one thing in common. There is no national budget available. All the available budget for the coming year has been spent on other road projects. At this moment the following projects are in the authorization process / preparation:
- A2 widening to 2x3 lanes ( De Dieze - West)
- A4 rearrangement and widening to 2x3 lanes ( De Dieze - Oost)
- A7 rearrangement and conversion to 2x2 lanes of existing N7 (Delfland - Tilburg)
- A11 diversion and conversion to 2x2 lanes of existing N11 (Delfland - Germany)
- N14 ring road Tilburg (North - South section is first built)
To finance the two projects under the context of a reliable connection to Belgium will be explored other ways. The A1 will be built in the short term but will have a toll station near the border to Belgium. For the widening of the A12 is it another story, it is considered a PPP structure.
Then we look now at the newly opened road section of the A28. The connection Ressen South, this was an intersection with traffic lights.

Wonderful work on the highway! And looking forward to the N267 and the residential area... :)
Today we look at the new route of the N267. The N267 is the main access road to the expansion area of Ressen. The expansion area is currently for some 40% built. The municipality has further expansion put on hold because there is no question for new homes. Within two years can probably continue to be built.
We start with the new section of the N267 at Graven. The whole N267 is designed for 80 km / hour.

That's it for this update, comments are always welcome!
Nice zoomed out view! It's good to see how it all connects together.
The construction of the last piece of the A1 has been a long time coming. This is to be fully integrated due to the lack of budget. From the government of Belgium and the Netherlands. The port Maasvlakte took the initiative several years ago to be quickly begin whit the construction of the remind section of the A1. The Port searched with the Minister of Transport for a way to finance the project. Ultimately, only one option likely candidate. The port Maasvlakte paid all the construction costs. And the government paid the costs for land acquisition. The A1 will be a toll road, the tolls are levied on the border between the Netherlands and Belgium. The money that is earned from the toll will be paid back to the harbor Maasvlakte. There are many companies who benefit from the construction of the A1. This reinforces the business climate of the harbor. The extension of the A1 built with 2x2 lanes. This is enough if the road remains a toll road. If there would be no toll on this route the 2x2 will not be enough and there must be 2x3 lanes.
Time for the pictures of the current state of the construction. We start at the point where the current N1 begins. This junction dates from the '80s when there were big plans whit this node. In the design takes account of conversion to a cloverleaf with a connection to the A19 never built. The plans for the A19 are in '90s finally disappeared into the recycle bin. Because the A5 is built much easter than was previously thought, the A19 is no longer required. This junction will now complete overhaul, and adapted to modern requirements. And preparations for the A19 will be removed.

Today was the opening day of the last section of the A1. The A1 is a full east-west route through the Netherlands. The road has many different sections, 4x2 lanes, lanes 2x4, 2x3 lanes and 2x2 lanes in the last section. The A1 is a frequently used road by freight traffic. The expectation is that this final section will be used by many freight traffic. As is known, the new part of the A1 a toll road, this is the first toll road in the Netherlands.
We look at the bridge over the canal. Previously started here the N1. At this moment we still working on the widening of this bridge. The bridge will have 3 lanes each direction.

The A1 at this road section is not very busy. This is because Vlissingen is still under construction, only the northern part was built.
Thanks for commenting on the previous update! Comments are also welcome again!
Just lets get to the point now... Any chance of you returning to RCT2? Judging by the screens here you still see how stuff works.
What are you studying at the moment? Anything related with planning?
How did you get to this site? and no, rct2 is really dated. Currently I'm studying for Bachelor of Built and Environment.
Also i will suggests to stay on-topic. Drop me a pm for off-topic stuff.
Nice work on this interchange, Paul. I like its layout. ;)
The highway is looking really great! Wonderful work on it! :thumbsup:
I think I will search more for inspiration in your topic :)
I really like your last interchange! Only thing I would add is that it may look better with streetlights, although that is just my bias towards lighting coming out there!
Now I am eagerly awaiting your first NAM 30 update. ;)
Wow, very impressive work with the RHW, the interchanges are perfectly well done :thumbsup:
I am also eagerly awaiting the new update with the NAM 30 ;D
Thanks for the replies! Yet not a complete update whit NAM 30. I have some updates ready to be put online. These are all made in my summer vacation. Maby i adjust it before they come online.
Well time for an update, the construction of the A1 and A28 has caused the agricultural vehicles can no longer use of these routes. This creates an increase in traffic on the underlying road network. The heavy traffic on the narrow roads creates unsafe situations. A major renovation of the underlying road network will be necessary.
Part 1 - Adjustments underlying road network
Two new routes built along the A1, A5, and A28. These routes have an asphalt surface and have 2x1 lanes. The maximum speed is 80 km/h and overtaking is allowed. The road don't get a N number. We want to avoid that these roads will be used as transit route.
From the intersection with the A5 we arrive at a new crossroads. Right you see the space reservation of the A19 never built.

Part 2 - Adjustments underlying road network
In this part of the update we look at the renovation of the underlying road network along the canal at Hoofdorp. We start this update on the viaduct over the A28 here could the agriculture traffic cross over the A28.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg820.imageshack.us%2Fimg820%2F9776%2F17953589a.jpg&hash=af2e6a90abff211fbf2ce93d52ac90398eb1c6cf)

We follow the road towards Ressen. To ensure the safety and traffic flow tunnels are built. Because the new road is built for 80 km/hour is a floor crossing with the train not safely. In the Netherlands is the conversion of ground floor crossings to a tunnel a very hot item. In recent years there are no new ground floor crossings added, this seems a taboo. This is mainly because the railway manager ProRail (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prorail) pickup every opportunity to build tunnels under the rail network.

With the new RHW I could finally completed the widening of the A2. The A2 between the port Maasvlakte - Dieze South now has full 2x3 lanes. The old A2 ran through the city Maasvlakte.

The minister of infrastructure takes a lot of progress. There are many projects recently being implemented. In this update we see two projects that have recently been completed. These projects are part of the "Urgent-approach 30 bottlenecks" or "Spoedaanpak 30 knelpunten" (http://www.rijkswaterstaat.nl/wegen/plannen_en_projecten/spoedaanpak_30_knelpunten/).

On 2008 the Netherlands is started the program "Urgent-approach 30 bottlenecks. This is thanks to the former Minister of Infrastructure and the Environment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Transport,_Public_Works_and_Water_Management_%28Netherlands%29), Camiel Eurlings. Because the construction of roads choked by complicated regulations, the Dutch government launched the "Urgent-approach 30 bottlenecks". This made it possible to accelerate the main bottlenecks thirty ways to expand so as to increase mobility. The Urgent Approach characterized by simpler and quicker procedures, of course, keeping right of participation involved. Meanwhile, the program is completed and assessed. The conversion of 30 bottlenecks is now in full progress. In 2010 was the traffic jams spectacularly gone down. Also New Holland working at there bottlenecks.

That is a huge conversion for this junction. The morning and evening traffic has not the same intensity. Therefore it is not necessary to have here two lanes. But maybe I will rebuild this junction.

Map of the never build roads
On the road map you'll see that there are A numbers missing. These are motorways numbers that once planned, but never be built. For the first time, I show this plans in my MD. The reason that the roads are not built, or build one a smaller scale is difficult to say. Some plans were simply not needed. Others were impossible to implement as motorway. Remember that the region is started whit out the RHW-mod.
A small note on the map. The A13 is indicated on the map, but soon there will be a small part be built. The part between the A4 at Boxtel - and the A28 at Ressen. This motorway should not be built because it is a natural area. As part of the rail-link with Belgium has decided to build a tunnel under the natural area inc. a tunnel for the motorway A13. To finance this project will be the A13 a toll road. The local residents and the nature organizations will be involved in the design of this project.

Well deserved! :thumbsup:
In recent times, the new city Tilburg getting shape. There are about 450,000 inhabitants living. The traffic pressure in the region has increased. For years, there are plans ready to modernize the road network here. The solution is a ring road around Tilburg the N14. De N14 will be in several places connected to the main motorway network. Furthermore, the motorway road network will improved significantly. The junction at De Dieze will be completely rebuilt. Right now this is a cloverleaf. All motorways to the new junction will be reconstructed. The plans are also reflected in the program 30 bottlenecks urgent approach. The following subjects belong to this plans:
- A4 De Dieze - Delfland (2x2 / 2x3 tot 2x4 lanes)
- A7 Delfland - Tilburg (rearrangement of the N7 and conversion to a 2x2 lanes)
- A11 Delfland - Germany (diversion of the N11 and conversion to a 2x2 lanes)
- N14 Ring-road Tilburg (western and southern part 2x2 lanes, eastern part 2x1 lanes)
- A15 Vught - Gestel (bypas on the A4 to the N14 Ring-road south, 2x2 lanes)

But what was the reason for all these plans, are there so many traffic problems? Yes, in this update i will show the current traffic problems and the pressure on the secondary road network.
Current situation N7
We start at the N7 at Hoorn, just outside Tilburg. Previously it was planned that the N7 once would be expanded to A7 whit a 2x2 motorway profile. This does not happens, the current plans are based on a northern location and a completely new route for the A7. The N7 is outdated and have connections that open into a residential area.

All new motorways are fully equipped with matrix signs. The matrix signs indicate a maximum speed based on traffic oppressed (dynamic speed limit). This also allows that the maxim speed increment when it is quiet for 100 km/h or 120 km/h to 130 km/h.

A10 Gestel - Tilburg (2x3 lanes to 2x4 lanes)
Today we look at the recent widening A10. The A10 motorway is widened from 2x3 lanes to 2x4 lanes. As part of the Urgent-approach 30 bottlenecks.
The A10 begins at the junction with the A4 and A12.

After this junction, the A10 continues towards to the center of Tilburg. This part is not finished yet and will not be seen at this moment.
That was it, comments are always welcome!
The new ring road of Tilburg the N14 is opened for a few weeks now. The N14 start at the new A7 by Tilburg North. The N14 should release the region of congestion and traffic problems. The aim is make the travel time more reliable. There are not only roads built. There is a lot of money injected into the region tram network. Two new lines were added. Thats connect Tilburg with Vught and Rosmalen. The cost for the N14 and the region tram is 1.2 billion euro.
We start at the junction with the A7. The A7 is a new motorway that was built in a hole near Tilburg. The new A7 will replace the old N7 road whit 2x1 lanes.

The intensities on this part of the N14 are relatively low. Therefore is chosen for floor intersections. This also saves money for the mega project.

The N14 continues with 2x1 lanes. There is insufficient budget to build the N14 with 2x2 lanes. Agricultural traffic also uses the N14, which regularly caused traffic jams.

The construction of the first HSR line is in progress. Who thought there was only money spent at roads in the near future had it wrong. There is currently a lot of money spent on infrastructure projects, in order to keep the economy of the country in running. At the moment the biggest infrastructure project is the construction of the first phase of the HSR. In the first phase, a HSR track built from Schiphol airport to Tilburg whit a link to Belgium. The construction of the HSR will be in the same time as the road projects in the area from the plan Urgent-approach 30 bottlenecks. The HSR runs are parallel to the most important motorway of the country, the A4.
There is a tunnel made under the A4 at Rosmalen.

I hope that someone is interesting in my topic, the previous update with the HSR got no response. Comments are welcome!
As usual very good layouts, and I like the HSR plans :D
I've read through all of your updates, and I really like your MD. ::)
I kinda got a guilty feeling for never commenting on it, when you pointed out there where no comments. &mmm
But I assure you it has been a great inspiration, even though my region doesn't look half as good as yours.
What I really like is that your region is developing nice and steadily, like one would expect it to happen in real life.. sort of :D
Do you plan on ever "finishing" your region, or do you just keep on playing it till you some day get bored?
Shopping area Tilburg

HSR plans
The construction of the first HSR line is in progress. Who thought there was only money spent at roads in the near future had it wrong. There is currently a lot of money spent on infrastructure projects, in order to keep the economy of the country in running. At the moment the biggest infrastructure project is the construction of the first phase of the HSR. In the first phase, a HSR track built from Schiphol airport to Tilburg whit a link to Belgium. The construction of the HSR will be in the same time as the road projects in the area from the plan Urgent-approach 30 bottlenecks. The HSR runs are parallel to the most important motorway of the country, the A4.

The next update we look at the remainder section of the HSR along the A4.
Sweet! I actually used the default Maxis Monorail tunnels with my high-speed route for the full speed benefit, instead of subway tunnels, aside from on one branch. Albeit, the track had to be elevated to match the default portal. Looks great though! ;D
Wow, all these highways!... Great pics :thumbsup:
Quote130 km/h becomes the default speed limit in 2012
Today has the Minister of Transport announced that starting at 1 september 2012, 130 km/h will become the default speed limit on Dutch motorways. The 130 km/h trials showed no significant impact on traffic safety or the environment. Almost equally important is that four out of five 80 km/h zones will disappear. Air quality improved enough to reinstate the 100 km/h speed limits.
Furthermore, most 100 km/h zones in the Randstad metropolitan area will disappear on intercity motorways. There will be 100 - 130 km/h variable speed limits, not only during the night, but if possible also during the day if traffic allows.
Only a small number of motorways will retain their 120 km/h limit, mostly because they've been designed in more recent years and do not allow for a safe 130 km/h limit.
More information about the deployment of this plan in the real Netherlands can be seen on Skyscrapercity:http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=413067&page=318
This is really great news, by the years to many motorways are returned from 120 km/h to 100 km/h and in some places even 80 km/h. This crap &mmm was a default proses when roads are recently widened. As on the A2 to Utrecht to Amsterdam where the limit is 100 km/h. The A2 is here widened from 3 lanes to 6 lane and before the widened the limit was 120 km/h.

In New Holland will 130km/h also the default speed limit. At some places, this will require adjustment at curves or viaducts, this works will be included in the 30 bottleneck's program that currently in progress is. Furthermore, most 100 km/h zones in the Randstad metropolitan area will disappear on intercity motorways. There will be 100 - 130 km/h variable speed limits, not only during the night, but if possible also during the day if traffic allows. This requires at some motorways new portals for the dynamic information. All recently renovated motorways already have these portals and matrix sings, so also the A4, A7, A10, A12 and A26. And soon the next motorways will be accommodate whit matrix signs, A1, A2, A9, A27 and the new motorway A13.

Nice to hear, that the speed limit in the netherlands was raised. Very reasonable decision. ;)
Raising speed limits - I like it. withdrawing 80kp/h speed limits - I like it. withdrawing 100 kp/h limits... I like it. Althrough I would prefeir 160kp/h as the general motorway speed limit.
Your HSR network reaches good dimensions, althrough it's a bit curvy.
Is that loco on the pic at the beginning of your update at nov. 27 an ES64U4? (I would even guess ÖBB 1216)

I do not know, i know not much about trains. But the final train for the Netherland's HSR network are not yet delivered.
HSR part 3We start on the A4 at Rosmalen just after the last update. The former intersection, has been developed into a motorway junction. This is done in the context of the construction of the A13. The A13 is the new motorway to the east. And connect the A4 and A28 with each other. The connection was controversial for years because it is a crossing in a nature reserve.
For the HSR, there were not many choices, he had to run through this area. But how? a responsible solution is found by making a tunnel. Making a tunnel in an area with a high water table is difficult. The construction of the tunnel is not executed within budget and schedule. This has the consequence that there is no HSR traffic to Belgium at the moment. In another update will be more attention to the eastern part of the HSR and the A13.
The junction with the A13. Under the ground running the HSR and the 4 track line of the regular rail. There is also a tunnel made for a new tram . The old railway viaduct was demolished to make way for the expansion of motorway.

You can get rid of these "No Power"-zots by using CTRL+X (opens cheat menu) and fill in "tastyzots". All zots will visually dissapear, but the problems are actually still there. However, it works great when taking pictures for a MD! ;)

We continue with the HSR. We can see the entering of the HSR and the motorway A10 at Tilburg. The A10 is located in a tunnel above ground level. Tilburg wants continue whit the building of this tunnel, and end by the central train station and the motorway A7. The cost for this project will be enormous, but necessary. The A10 is an old motorway, with many restrictions for the traffic flow. Almost all crossings are ground floors which do not meet the current requirements for a motorway. There is no room for expansion in the future, a tunnel is the only solution. The rail track should be extended with a track for the HSR. The HSR can perhaps build on the roof of the motorway tunnel.

Time for another update. The combination tunnel is open for traffic. The tunnel offers spaces to the HSR, the regular train and the new A13 motorway. The A13 is a toll motorway. In previous updates we have seen the cloverleaf of the A13 and A4, in this update we also starting with this.
The A13 is the new motorway to the east. And connect the A4 and A28 with each other. The connection was controversial for years because it is a crossing in a nature reserve. For the HSR, there were not many choices, he had to run through this area. But how? a responsible solution is found by making a tunnel. Making a tunnel in an area with a high water table is difficult. The construction of the tunnel is not executed within budget and schedule. The costs have tripled (same as in the real Netherlands :'( ). This makes people angry, and makes the support for the development of the HSR network less and lesser...

There is now only a small part of the N268 with 2x1 lanes. The municipality of Boxtel makes himself hard to get even this last part widened tot 2x2 lanes. For now there is no response from the Minister of Transport, there is no money. All the money is requirer for the 30 bottlenecks program.

That's all for this update, comments are always welcome!
Nice. I like the toll plaza and the bike bridge.
The transportation infrastructure is very cool :)
In the previous update we have see the first part of the combination tunnel. The tunnel offers spaces to the HSR, the regular train and the new A13 motorway. The A13 is a toll motorway to the east. And connect the A4 and A28 with each other. The connection was controversial for years because it is a crossing in a nature reserve. For the HSR, there were not many choices, he had to run through this area. But how? a responsible solution is found by making a tunnel. Making a tunnel in an area with a high water table is difficult. The construction of the tunnel is not executed within budget and schedule. The costs have tripled (same as in the real Netherlands :'( ). This makes people angry, and makes the support for the development of the HSR network less and lesser...
The eastern tunnel mouth, the end of the 2.5 km long tunnel. On this side of the tunnel is the largest impact on the environment. A small village was bought out for the construction from the this new infrastructure.

Exit for the underlying road network. Many people take this exit and ride over the underlying road network to avoid the toll of the tunnel. Also, a lot of traffic from the exit goes to the hinterland in the direction of Belgium.

That was the last update of the biggest project ever in the country. The construction of the HSR was an enormous task, that was sometimes difficult to fit because I had previously disregarded.
In the next update we will continue with the implementation of 30 bottlenecks programs for the road network.
wow I really like the pics at the end which show developement form 1990-2000-2010. :thumbsup:
I have to say though that my favourite is the pic of the year 2000. The RHW4 just looks much mor smooth and is more appealing to the eye.
Some really fancy RHWing going on here and thats why when I was making my RHW system I stopped by here several times for some inspiration. Great work and great pics!

Great, as always.
Amazing transport system &apls &apls
As always - great! Congrats for your patient in building hat all!
And nice roundabouts :P
At the last moment of this year an update. Over the years is the N282 gradually transformed into A28. The last section of the N282 from exit Graven (N233) to the German Border is constructed with 2x1 lanes. This last part of the N282 will be converted to A28 as part of the 30 bottlenecks program.
Today we visit the construction site. Previously it was intended that the road over the viaduct would have its own connection to the A28. This connection has been canceled because this viaduct will be used for two additional rail tracks (as part of the track doubling Schiphol - Tilburg).

From here, the N282 already fully preparing for an upgrade to A28. This is because this part of the route is during construction in the 70s created in partnership with Germany. The rest of the route N282 was built as a temporary way.

The new A28 will be opened in January. Thanks to the excellent weather in the Netherlands this winter, the contractor had no lost time during the construction by the weather. The Netherlands has this year the warmest winter ever without snow.

Today the A28 extension was officially opened for traffic. The Minister of Transport has also gave a speech of the further completion of the 30 program bottlenecks. One project has been canceled, the project 'A2 Empel - Germany'. This project should be realized with a toll tunnel, including a new HSR link to Germany. But it is clear that the toll on this section will not provide the desired result. The recently completed A13 motorway whit a toll tunnel proves this also. Most drivers don't pay the toll but ride an few kilometers on the old routes. Only when there are traffic jams on the old routes the drivers will pay the toll.
There are currently four projects under construction, all this projects will be completed this year. There is another project in the licensing procedure, namely the N629 Maasvlakte - Witte Wielen (route modernize and construct a junction whit the A2). We do everything to also take this project under construction this year. Probably there come soon a new project to replace the A2 project to Germany.

Rail track doubling (Spoorverdubbeling) Schiphol - Ressen - Tilburg
Time for an update, the track doubling between Schiphol and Tilburg is completed. In the Netherlands increases the number of rail passengers by 5% per year. This puts enormous pressure on existing infrastructure. A track doubling between Schiphol and Tilburg greatly increases the capacity. Also this makes the construction of a 2 new stations possible at Hoofddorp and Gestel.
The reconstruction of the railway started by the tunnel under the canal and the A5 motorway. The tunnel is expanded with an additional tube. This was by far the most expensive part of the project.

Great Update! I really like your transport network! Your a master of RHW &apls
I only missed some traffic signs... ;)
I think the layout of your rail network is fantastic. Looks very functional.
In the last update we have already seen some parts of the widened bypass Tilburg N14. In this update we look at the entire route of the N14 widened. This entire section had formerly 2x1 lanes. Tilburg has severe traffic problems. The problems are mainly the to small capacity at the N10. An widening of the A10 is very expensive and is not yet on the agenda. It has been reported that a widening of the bypass N14 is the best option for this moment. In the future, the A10 really needs to be rebuild.
The expansion began east of the junction with the A10.

Urgent-approach - A2 De Dieze - Empel (2x2 lanes to 2x3 lanes)
Today is the first part of the widened A2 opened for traffic. The section from the De Dieze near the junction whit the A26 to Empel is widened to 2x3 lanes. Soon will be opened part 2, the section Empel - A7 corridor to Germany. After this opening have the entire A2 more than 3 lanes in each direction.
The widening began just after the junction with the A26. For the widening, this was a bottleneck, here goes you from 4 lanes to 2 in a half km. You see that now the fourth lane is an exit at this point, and there are 3 lanes for the A2.

The old bridge over the canal was not wide enough. There is a new bridge built next to the old, with 2x3 lanes. The new A2 has also wider bends, for ride safely 130 km / hour at the section.

That's all for this update. Comments are always welcome!
Today we look at a small update. The renovation of the N617 at Midden Bosch has been completed. The N617 is a connecting road from the A4 to the A27 whit 2x2 lanes. The connection has getting busier in recent years. Before the renovation, there were no emergency lanes on this road section. What makes the road extremely sensitive for traffic jams. The emergency lanes will give a greater security and reliability for the N617. Furthermore, all intersections have changed and got more capacity. There are also bike and bus tunnels constructed. This ensures that this traffic flows no longer need the intersection above. This also increases the capacity for through traffic.
We start at the junction with the A4, and going towards the A27.

Great network! I really like your attention to the traffic-ways :thumbsup:
Don't you run out of space for more roads and widenings? :D
There are enough projects in the pipeline! Another update. When the A13 be built the discussed started of the modifications off the N263. The N263 should be converted to A13 in the old plans. This plan never carried out because a motorway in a residential area is not desirable. Recently, a small section of the A13 opened as a toll road. This is the section from the junction with the A4 at Boxtel to the junction whit the A28 at Ressen. The old N263 had 2x2 lanes with ground crossings in the residential areas. Outside the residential areas, the N263 had level crossings and a motorway profile. The N263 runs from the junction whit the A4 by Rosmalen to the A27 at Vught and go continue as randweg Vught (Southern bypass of Vught).
The N263 has already carefully renovated. The whole road have got a clearly road image that meets the current requirements. The maximum speed of the new N263 is 80 km / hour. Even in urban areas, there are sound barriers built to keep disruption to local residents to a minimum. The section from the A4 to the A27 has widened to 2x3 lanes. The N263 starts just after the junction with the A4 and A13.

The interchange with the A27 and the N263 has been completely renovated to implanted the new N263 correct. Before the reconstruction the N263 closed the A27 to the different level crossing a small tromped. The N263 have no motorway status more, and there is no need for a junction whit different lever crossings.

That's all for this update. In the next update we go to Vught and check the new A27 in the half-tunnel. Comments are always welcome!
The reconstruction of the A27 at Vught is completed. The A27 at Vught between the N263 and the A4 has been widened to 2x3 lanes. Because these extra lanes giving more problems to the environment. Has decided to build the A27 at Vught in a half-tunnel. A real tunnel is to expansive and with this solution we think that we found a good compromise. The reconstruction of the A27 has a lot of problems delivered. The old A27 had 2x2 lanes and was situated on the ground. During the renovation, there was only one lane in each direction available. This resultant in huge traffic jams in the region. Anyway, that's over now, the coming years there will be no traffic jams at the A27. The junction with the A4 is also fully rebuild and prepared for the future. But that see we in the next update.
We start at the intersection whit the N263, the stat of the widening.

Next update we look at the junction whit the A4. Comments are always welcome!
Two wonderful updates of your great work. The highways and city are great! :thumbsup: ;)
You've done a fantastic job of creating a realistic city that looks very consistent from update to update. Love it.
Maybe you will show now bike roads network? Characteristic element of the Netherlands :D
I really like your highway network, especially the nice use of acel-/decellerationlanes.
However there's one thing I've noticed on which you could easily improve to make your highways even better looking.
Example:
The intersection whit the N262, before the junction whit the A4.
http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/381/34749365.jpg
In the pic you've got 4 90-degree entrances/exits.
3 of them are created using a RHW6-D1 exit piece and a 90 degree MIS-curve.
The one on the top right however uses a fractional angel (RHW6-F1) exit and the corresponding FAMIS-curve
which in my opinion looks way better, and could eliminate some useless direction changes on your higways. And I think you could fit them pretty easily on most exits with the same issue.

It is to hard to make a whole network. In some places i have build bike bridges over the motorways, as by the A2 and the A13.

Renumber that the 90 degree MIS-curve is a new piece, and the region is very old. At the most places the new piece don't fit, to small places. But i will uses this piece more and more, as there be enough room.
A10 - Widening in a tunnelDespite the cold weather it was an interesting week for the infrastructure in the Netherlands. The A10 is likely to be widening below ground. Although there is still debate about the project. The Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis (CPB), an independent government agency, called the A10 tunnel unprofitable in a second opinion analysis.
QuoteOut of nowhere, after years of dormancy, the A10-south project is suddenly revived with an agreement about the project by the ministry of Infrastructure and Environment and the city of Amsterdam.
The A10 on the south side of Amsterdam will be put underground, and widened from 6 to 12 lanes. The widening will be combined with real estate development and expansion of rail services from 12 to 24 trains per hour.
The A10 will feature 2+4+4+2 lanes, 2x4 through lanes and 2x2 lanes for local traffic, all underground. The project cost € 1.4 billion, out of which the national government pays € 979 million and the city of Amsterdam € 201 million. The urban region pays € 103 million and € 75 million comes from the North Holland province. That's € 280 million per kilometer.
Amsterdam is and will be the site of mega projects. Already in progress is the € 2 billion second Coen Tunnel + A5 skyway, and commencing this year is the € 4.5 billion Schiphol - Amsterdam - Almere upgrade. The Badhoevedorp realignment of A9 is expected to start in 2013, while the A10-south project will commence in 2015.

The A10 in New Holland will also likely to be widening below ground. On the roof of the new tunnel will be new real estate and more space for the rail tracks. And the central station will be expanded whit a new terminal for the HSR line. There HSR will get also a new link to the biggest city of the region De Dieze.

The A10 project will start after the complementation of the 30- bottlenecks program.
In this update we look at the reconstructed junction of the A27 with the A4. The A27 at Vught between the N263 and the A4 has been widened to 2x3 lanes, as we have see in the update whit the half-tunnel. The reconstructed junction is prepared for perhaps further widening projects.

A4 widening Burgerveen-Leiden
The real Netherlands are also building at the A4, the motorway will be placed in a half-tunnel at Leiden. It is a really cool, and special project. The current 4-lane motorway will be replaced by a 6-lane motorway below grade. A narrow bridge will be replaced by a wide aquaduct. The current roadways are 8.50 meters wide. The future roadways are 27.50 meters wide, allowing 2x6 lanes with shoulders.
There will construct two tunnels, one for each direction whit 2x6 lanes. The first tunnel and aqaduct are opening soon, after this opening that can removed the old A4 above ground level. You can see the old (left above), and the first new part of the A4 at this picture.

Note, this is one of two aquaducts, this one will open to six-lane traffic in a few weeks, after which an identical aquaduct will be constructed next to it. This means the A4 will be over 3 times wider than it is today.

Reconstruction junction Delfland (A4, A7 and A11)
Today it is renovated junction of the A4, A7 and the A11 officially opened. A few years ago is the junction build in the context of the construction of the A11. The A11 has built as bypass of the village Delfland, formerly ran the old N11 through the village. The diversion of the N11 was for the village an opportunity for a significantly expanding project. This project now almost complete. The village is grown and that creates problems on the motorways. The junction whit the A4, A7 and the A11 is rebuild whit a new pre-bender compound curve. The project cost 65 million euros, and give the junction enough capacity for the coming years.
Let's start with the photos, the exit Delfland on the A11 from Germany.

That's it, comments are always welcome!
Impressive and realistic interchanges. No details are forgotten.
Besides, your city's pictures are really nice, especially the industrial area.
Excellent work.
Every time when I think your traffic networks can't get any more complicated, you come with a new update. $%Grinno$%
By the way, I am impressed by all those great road and rail improvements in the Netherlands. I wish our government would make such improvements instead of cutting budgets and use the money to fill in other budget holes. Our road network is in decline.
My parents live in a small village. In a few years I will have to rent an off-road vehicle to visit them. ::)
Thanks for the responses. And Rick, I've never experienced that when I was in Germany I thought that you had also good maintenance (or only at motorways and big city's ;) ). I'm really jealous of your speed on motorways, no where else in the world are you allowed to drive as fast as on the German autobahn!
At this moment the Netherlands has actually unwise many projects under construction and planned, widening and few new motorways. This was necessary, the road construction program has been located for years by procedures and politics, that would not add capacity on the network. Which is fortunately changed at 2007-20110 (by minister Eurlings and his Bottlenecks program (my region has that program also $%Grinno$% ). You can that reflected in the statistics, traffic jams are reduced by 27% at 2011 (relative to the average file gravity of the last five years).
I expect that the congestion drops down in the coming years. Perhaps no-traffic jams at my commute route. Would be nice.
Good now a picture of my latest work. The new junction with the A7 and A2. In the next update we take a closer look on this new part of the A2 and A7.

Today it's time for a big update! The works on the A7 corridor have been completed. The A7 is widened from 4 lanes to at least 8 lanes at the north side of De Dieze. The A7 starts at junction Delfland, we have seen that junction in the previous update and continues to Germany. During the conversion of the A7 is the HSR connection to Germany in structural work constructed. This is a part of the new HSR link from Tilburg to De Dieze and Germany. The whole link from the A7 at De Dieze to Tilburg must still be built, the construction start next month and will be finished in 6 years.
The widening of the A7 was an expensive job. The most expensive parts were the aqaduct for the Pannerdensch Kanaal, and the bridges over the river the Waal.

Next update we take a closer look on the A2, the last part of the widening tot 2x3 lanes.
That's it for this update, comments are always welcome!
Very nice update.
Lots of intersections, which btw, I come and check out very often for my own use.
I like this last bridge you have shown, it is perfectly placed on the river....job well done!!

It's long, too long, since I've last commented here. Maybe because I always write the same: Very god use of RHW!
That is really a big update. So many interchanges and none looks like the other.
In this update we look to the last part of the widening of the A2 to 2x3 lanes. The whole A2 had now minimal 2x3 lanes. We start this update by the junction whit the A7, of the last update.

The widening was expensive. Besides the extra space for the new lane, we also need to demolish houses for the new noise barriers.

Great work with the city and the highways. &apls
The first interchange looks very realistic with the wide curves. I suspect that something like this won't be possible in the new Sim City game for a very long time.
The reconstruction of the N200 at De Dieze has started. This is the last major project from the 30 bottlenecks program. Formerly this road was numbered as N2, when the new A2 was build outside the city (begin the 90's) the number changed to N200. The city is growing considerably by compacting (infill development) and the N200 get congested. The road network of the city will be redesigned to improve the traffic flow. The plan also covers the demolition of a motorway, the A6. The motorway goes right through downtown south. Especially the barrier effect of the motorway gives this center a bad look. The motorway will be not necessary in the new road network plan of the city. The A6 was in the original plans an motorway through to the whole city (only 2,5 km is build).
We start the update at the begin of the N200 at a busy intersection, the N200 is the road on the left. There will no changes here, because there is no solution found that is fit whit the budget yet.

In the next update we take a closer look at the new bypass road around the city center en the degraded A6 that now is a 2x1 road.
That's it for this update comments are always welcome.
Great update Paul !! Your work with the intersections is really cool, I like how you mix the train lines and the Highways,
together they make a good combination &apls &apls

Nice update, the last picture is my favourite with all the highrise apartments next to the parclo. &apls
The intersection in the first and 11th picture looks interesting. It is kind of a roundabout?
Btw, it would help alot to comment on specific interchanges if you would number your pictures. ;)
I can number my pictures, never thought about that ;)
The intersection is not a roundabout, but a big traffic light crossing inspired by a intersection at Den Bosch (see link below). SC4 don't have traffic lights at the one way roads &mmm

The pink line is the current rout for lots off traffic. After the opening of the bypasses will the traffic here despairer, or there will be measures to reduce traffic.
The N198 is funded by the province with the money that they deserve by the sale of the shares in energy companies to the German RWE. At this moment are in the real Netherlands also some project in construction whit the interest of the sale of the shares in the energy companies.

N200 De Dieze - Germany
Today we look to the northern part of the N200 to Germany. The N200 is built from the A7 motorway with 2x1 lanes. But there is the option to build here a 2x2 motorway in the future. The N200 route is very popular by truck traffic. In the old plans there was talk of the extended A2 to Germany, but this project is cut away. Germany wouldn't work with a quick disposition.
At this moment in the 'real world' is Germany working on completing of the BAB61, the missing link between the dutch motorway A73 and A74. The new motorway at the south side of Venlo will be opened this week. After 20 years talking (talking, talking and talking?) will be this motorway finally opened for traffic. Some nice pictures of the new motorway can be found here: https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=12EC6CEC4E378553&id=12EC6CEC4E378553!289#cid=12EC6CEC4E378553&id=12EC6CEC4E378553!259
We begin near the border with Germany. The road runs along the canal.

Nice update &apls I love all the FA stuff, the nice countryside, the little towns and the canals :thumbsup:
A road geek update, i have made a map whit the number(s) of lanes of the main road network of New Holland. After the complementation of the 30 Bottlenecks program the traffic jams are reduced enormous. The same in the real Netherlands, this month reports ANWB that the congestion level in April decreased by 30%, compared to April 2011. I think that we next year see the same results. I am convinced that the opening of additional lanes is the reason for the lesser traffic jams.

On a few places in the region are there some traffic jams. The biggest congestion is on the A12 between Boxtel and Ressen. The motorway goes at Boxtel from 5 lanes to 3 lanes. This bottleneck will be fixed whit on some places 1 new lane and were there is space enough will be added 2 lanes.

It looks so dutch &apls just as if I was looking at a dutch town in google earth :thumbsup:
I agree with Flatron. And I must say that the Dutch seem to be very good at regional and transit planning. Just take a look at The Netherlands in Google Earth. Everything looks so tidy and well organised. ()stsfd()

Interesting update again. I wonder why you chose the divided one lane setup for N267?
This 2x1 setup is combined whit turbo-roundabouts whit 2-lanes. This is very common as access to large residential areas in The Netherlands. Here some pictures of the N267.

Today is the new HSR station Gestel opened. This new station will be the end station of most HSR trains during the work around widening of the A10 and the widening of the rail tracks along the A10 at Tilburg. There is to less space for all the trains to stop at Tilburg Central during the construction works. Tilburg Central is a big hub for the country, the idea is that this hub function will be take over by Gestel Central during the construction works.
Tilburg get also a new terminal for the HSR. When this new terminal opens will be also the last part of the HSR link to Germany build. A big part of the new link is build before, and in use now. One a small part of the link near Tilburg must ride the HSR trains on the regular tracks, whits cost more time for the travelers. In the next years will this problem solve.
The new station give Gestel a new look. Also connect the new station the office park and the city with a new bridge that was built over the railways. The bus station is moved to the side of the office park and there are a lot of parking places build (for park and ride). The ground will not sold at this time, there are no developers that want invests in more office space. In the original plan we wane build a parking garage under the station and under new office buildings. There is only one new office build construct at this time, the tower next to the station. The municipality of Gestel has purchased many space at this tower.

And now we take a look at the current situation at the motorway A10, this motorway will be rebuild soon. The whole A10 at Tilburg will be build whit the new motorway standards. There will be 4x2 lanes, whit space reservation to 2+3x3+2. The parallel lanes of the A10 have now ground floor intersections, all this intersection will be replaced whit separated floor intersections.

Not only the A10 will be upgrade, also the A7 and the N14 will be upgrade. The A7 will be widened to 2x3 lanes. The N14 intersection whit the A7 will be rebuild.
Comments are always welcome!
Today was a big day for Tilburg. The official opening of the mega motorway enlargement project A10 at Tilburg. Before the reconstruction had the A10 floor crossings, and only 2 lanes for local traffic and 2 for transit traffic. The new A10 has 4x2 lanes and all the intersection have separated floors. The transit traffic goes in to a tunnel at Tilburg South and comes above at the motorway A7 at Tilburg North. Freight traffic is not allowed in this tunnel and there are no intersections therefore it is safe to allow 130 km/h in this tunnel. So the new tunnel is ideal for transit traffic. The local lanes are build above the transit tunnel, and have at least 2 lanes. The locale lanes are build whit space reservation to 2x3 lanes (as the 2x3 tunnels are available). Besides all motorway's s also much happened on rail line field. The new HSR link to Germany is completed and have a new terminal at the central station of Tilburg.
We start this update at the A10 at Tilburg South.

The construction of the project was a disaster for the traffic. The lanes on the A10 to the city where closed for 2 years. This traffic must follow a diversion on the N14 and N269 or the N14 and the N15 or the A12, A28 and the N15 or the A4 and the A7. In this years is the tunnel build at a traditional way. This method was chosen to save costs. But it has a lot of inconvenience caused to the environment at Tilburg.

After the complementation of the tunnel are the local lanes closed for traffic for 1 year. The local traffic must follow a diversion, the transit traffic can use the tunnels now (also the freight traffic in this temporary situation). The construction of the new A10 above the tunnel was easy for the construction company. Also here are significant cost savings whit the traffic closing for a long time.
Without this full closures there would be many more phases in the construction with all more risks and costs. Rijkswaterstaat and Tilburg are pleased that this project is realized within budget and planning. This massive operation was necessary to give Tilburg accessible.
Back to the railway intersection at Tilburg South, this intersection is also expanded whit 2 more rail lines.

Today we look at the widening A7. This motorway had 2x2 lanes before the widening to 2x3 lanes. The A7 start at the end of the A10, the A10 have we see two updates before.
The A7 is build 10 years ago include whit space reservation at the section at Tilburg. The bridge over the river had no space reservation, we have one lane add at this bridge by remove the emergency lanes. But this see we in the next update. Now we look at the junction whit the A10, this junction is full underground under the new HSR terminal.

It is a very wet summer here in the Netherlands &mmm. I have make a lot SC4 hours, so i can show you today the whole widening of the A7 to 2x3 lanes between Tilburg and Delfland. And some big improvement at the Tilburg ringroad - West (the N14).
We start this update at the intersection whit the N14, the A7 is widening to 2x3 lanes. This pictures of the N14 are the before situation.

I love staring at your transit networks. The on and off ramps, interchanges, underpasses are all very well conceived. The rail network is amazing.
Please apologise for not visiting your thread for long time. What I like the most in recent updates are sunken highways and networks on embankments.
Especially this one:

Very difficult place, looks like a junction for three networks. And you fit them all together perfectly (maybe just long traditional rail curves :P). Looks and (guess) works fine!

You are the master of multilevel crossings ;)
kbieniu7 is right. The fascinating thing about your MD is how many different transport networks you cram into relatively tight space. :thumbsup:
Your railways are insane. In one of the pix you have a circular ramp down into a parking garage. Do you know where you got that?
That's some fantastic work on your transportation system. Very impressive.

Wow! Some truly impressive work here!
Your transportation system is well done and thought. I love your highways. :)
Here is a long standing MD well worth a re-look from the start, with awesome cities and outstanding transportation systems, there's no doubt why this MD was chosen to be in OSITM for a third time!!

Renovation N14 ring road Tilburg - SouthToday a small update of a few changes that i have made at the South part of the N14 ring road Tilburg. The road is very congested and there are a lot of crashes. To make the road safer is the way upgraded with electronic sinalering and the entrance and exit lanes are make wider and longer.
We start at the begin of the N14 at the junction whit the N15 and the underlaying network of the city. Before where here no entrance and exit lanes.

You see that the road is very busy, and need a few extra lanes. But there is no money and no politician commitment, because the N14 is a inner ring road around Tilburg. And there is a full A-motorway (big) ring road around the city and the area whit the A4, A7, A12 and the A28.
Thats it is for today, comments are always welcome!
The A10 in Tilburg has been recently widened to 4x2 lanes. The A10 outside Tilburg had only 2x3 lanes. This created a new bottleneck in the road network. The A10 outside Tilburg is now also expand to 2x4 lanes. The junction with the N14 has been upgraded also on one side of the junction is a parallel lane make whit a new intersection.
We start this update at the A10 in Tilburg, after the 4x2 section whit the tunnel. The parallel lane to the junction whit the N14 start here (on the top of the picture, on the right) only one side of the junction have a parallel lane.

The tunnel under the HSR rail is also widened whit a extra tube for the parallel lanes.

The new intersection, this relief the traffic on the N14. Because the traffic to the village have no longer cross the N14. The N14 is a very busy road so all the traffic that no more need to cross the intersection is a huge improvement.

Here you see a new intersection, and a new viaduct. This viaduct is also build for slow traffic that not longer can ride on the N14 because that road have a motorway status now. The new intersection is very popular as you can see, i don't understand exactly why.

There are still some updates left of the New Holland region:
- N268 intersection upgrade at the amusement park;
- N15 (Tilburg - East to Belgium) diversion and upgrade to a motorway 2x1 lane.
Soon i will show some pictures of the new region. Comments are always welcome!
Nice retro update. A new region with room for even more highways? Nice.
Today we look at the N15. The N15 starts at Tilburg, cross the A28 and ends at Belgium. This road will be upgraded to a motorway whit 2x1 lanes on the section off the A28 to Belgium. The first phase see we in this update, the roundabout will be upgrade to a separated floor intersection. In phase 2, will the N15 diverted around Hilvarenbeek. The construction of phase two is also started.
We start whit the before situation, the roundabout will be removed.

Thanks for the comments. That junction find I the best I've ever made, it is a very complex and busy junction. Before this upgrade it was a normal cloverleaf whit traffic jams in a the connectors.

Hilvarenbeek have a nice bypass whit the new N15.
2x1 autoweg (motorway) in the Netherlands
This new N15 whit 2x1 separated lanes looks maybe strange to you. Unfortunately this type of road is no longer strange in the Netherlands. On many 2x1 roads we have a total overtaking ban (also on straight section). You can understand that this not help, many drivers ignore this stupid rule. So there is something new came up a 2x1 road whit a central barrier and separated lanes.

Some political people are excited a political group at Zealand want that all the 2x1 motorways will be rebuild whit this standard.
My opine, a 2x1 motorway whit separated lanes can be good at intersections or at curves. But not on straight sections, as we do it now. Driving on this road is very annoying, some people before you will not drive the speed limit off 100 km/hour. Then you ride for miles behind a slow driver what create a train of vehicles.
Comments are always welcome!
Hmm, interesting idea with the separated 2x1 road. I would say, it could actually be a good idea, if there are frequent passing sections, where a passing lane is added. If not, I would hate to be stuck behind a truck or some slowpoke there.
Interesting concept, but it seems like a great waste of space, unless the intention is to upgrade it to full motorway (2+2 lanes) in the next years. Personally, I prefer the Swedish solution of building 2+1 lanes, the innermost lane alternating so that people can pass every now and then.

Fantastic update there, and great usage of the RHW tools too!
Got to say from a UK POV (which can be unorthodox to our EU neighbors) that new type of road looks strange....it's a good job there are now kerb stones along the edge of the road, I can see drivers stuck behind a truck thinking "screw this" and fly down the verge!
It would be interesting to see if accidents are reduced in comparison to a conventional highway.
Nice Update!
As I remember from driving-school(OH how I liked driving a bmw 1er :)), In germany, you're allowed to drive as fast as you want on these 2x1 roads ;D (if there's no sign indicating a speed limit)... You may not be able to do so if there's a tractor in front of you, but who cares :)
Thanks for the comments, i will tell you now something more about the N23 at the real Netherlands.
The east-west connections in north-central Netherlands are less well developed than elsewhere. To the south are the A1/A28 major routes in the north of the A7. Between them are not high quality east-west connections, which have a patchwork of design standards. The new N23 will make this connection faster and safer, by applying current path of modern features, higher speed limits, and cropped to the route shorter. The work will be done in phases, partly in anticipation of making available the necessary grant. In particular, the blanking Lelystad and the tunnel at the Roggebotsluis expected to be realized until after 2020.

At the new section of the N23 are no passing sections. On the old parts, current N307 are some passing section but the are very small. And at the current N302 you are allows to pass at the straight sections.

It is unknown off this new part of the N23 will be upgrade to 2x2 lanes in the near further. The viaducts have space reservation the make 2x2 whiteout the emergency lane.
The 2x1+1 road's have we too, and other country's also. It is also my prefer. I don't now why this is not made at this new section of the N23.

That stones are required because the max speed is 100 km/hour and there are no emergency lanes. The stones are not intended to make overtakes. There are no statistics of accidents on this type off roads now. There is still a disadvantage to this type of road. I (and other people) think that driver did not use this new road and still use the old routes. The road is very quiet, while the old part towards the N50 / A50 is very busy.

I love Germany, also on the Autobahn! This vacation i have drive on many motorway's in Germany and it was lovely to just be able to drive how fast as you think you can drive. Unfortunately, some routes exist only out construction works at this time.
The N23 have a speed limit off 100 km/hour, tractors or other slow traffic are not allowed. This section is a Autoweg (motorway).
Well done! Great work on detail and realism. No wonder this is OSITM!
There has been some time between, but here is another update. This time we take a look at the N269 ring road Boxtel and access road to the amusement park. In recent years the amusement park has grown rapidly. There are many more visitors over the floor that before. Something must be done to the poor infrastructure in the parking lot and access road. Today we look at the current situation of the infrastructure and the amusement park.
The N268 after the junction whit the A12 motorway. A lot of hotels are build in this area of the amusement park.

Yes i have see your amusement park, and of course your one is better ;) you focus on the amusement park, and that is nice to see. I don't wane spend so much time to making a amusement park.
At some points can the highways be empty, one sometimes. I don't understand why, an example if i play a other city next to it and that go back there be more traffic that before. It is true that some motorway's are busier than others. But every motorway is used, and there are no motorway's widened as this not necessary was. The busiest 2x2 motorway is the N14 ring road Tilburg and carried more than 28.000 cars, and 15.000 buses. The busiest wide motorway is the A9 whit 2x4 lanes and carried more than 42.000 cars, and 20.000 buses. The quietest motorway is the A13 at the toll part and carried lesser then 7.000 cars and zero buses.
N268 Reconstruction intersection ring road BoxtelTime for the update. This is last update i will show of the New Holland region. Soon i will start whit the new region based on Brabant a province at The Netherlands.
Today we look at the reconstruction of the intersection at the amusement park at Boxtel. Before the reconstruction had this intersection traffic lights and no splits levels. Now there is a tunnel build for the N268 under the intersection. Above the tunnel is a high capacity roundabout build to handle all the traffic. The roundabout have peak lanes to get all the traffic in and out of the amusement park.
We start this update at the N268 just after the junction whit the A12 and the first intersection. The N268 is widened between this intersection and the intersection to the amusement park to give the traffic more space for weaving and waiting.

Then we arrive at the reconstructed intersection. The 2 lane road in the middle off the roundabout is the peak lane, this lane can only be opened when there are traffic controllers of the amusement park. The should regulate the other traffic. This peak lane must ensure that traffic does not get stand still on the N268. The amusement park has been expanded with an aquarium, and the event area is moved form the city Boxtel to the back side of the water park.

Nice intersection construction. :thumbsup:
Today i give the last update of the New Holland region. I hope that you have enjoyed my updates. For my it was a wonderful region to play, that has grown considerably in the time. I am very pleased with the result, and love most of the infrastructure. There are also things that are not good, I go do that better in the next region. One thing about this be the urbanized area, this is way too big in this region. In the next region i will play whit more rural space between the urban area's. This also means that the motorways will be longer and have fewer intersection, so this will be much more realistic.

I just read all the updates you posted when I was on vacation. Great work. The peak lane in the roundabout is a very interesting concept. Does this exist in reality or did you invent it?
It was a great time with New Holland, but I am also looking forward to the new region. &apls
The peak lane exist but not on roundabouts ;) some motorways have peak lanes in The Netherlands. This concept is now also executed at Germany and Great Britain at some motorways.

Looking forward to your new region, are you going to do a recreation of the area? That would be interesting as I live in Den Bosch but work in Tilburg and commute daily by train. You can almost see my house in the station pic! $%Grinno$%
I've really enjoyed all the updates while you've been OSITM. Thanks!

Not totally, but you can recognized some parts and the main infrastructure. I live in a suburb of Den Bosch, nice to read that you live in the region :)
Good luck with your next region Paul! Can't wait to see the first pictures. ;)
