I must say Alex your progress is great  :thumbsup:

Well we can't say for certain at this stage but the Rural Roads may get an update too...

T Intersection



Cross Asymmetrical intersection



Thoughts and comments are welcome. There are no arrows at this stage since I think a T21 solution would work best for local variances. This is still very much in the concept stage.

Thats wonderful. By this, I do not have to rely on transforming my roads into RHW-2 for the neat intersection from the cosmetic puzzle pieces tabring. I do like the asymetrical intersection for its grid breaking capabilities, but would also love to see diagonal intersections.

Is it true, that these intersections handle the right of way properly (yield etc.)? This would be a very nice feature besides the FTLs with traffic lights, shown by Tarkus earlier.

Cool!!
Country roads, take me home...
To the place I belong...
:P

Simply AWESOME!!!!!!!  Slowly but surely, little by little, breaking that annoying grid.

Best. SC4. Intersection. EVAH!

That's some seriously good stuff eggman121!!!

eggman121

Thank you everyone for the positive comments  ;D

I have another one to show!



If anyone feels that something needs to be changed I have the pieces layered in GIMP so editing is not a problem.

So glad this is really taking off  $%Grinno$%

And with all the applicable patterns this is just the tip of the iceberg  ::)

Eggman,

You must have been conversing with Alex as you work is just a great as his.  Finally, we are now seeing country roads.  Only one item would be nice to see and that is a Stop Sign.

Can there be a piece for a road terminating on one side of an avenue that's right in/right out (left in/left out in LHD) only?

Eggman, maybe this is already addressed, but I am going to have to ask what the deal is with the center turn lane, because I can't tell if that is a restricted piece or if it is actually is open for possible user-based extended turn lane.

eggman121

Ok I know that there are many localized instances which I am not familiar with so posting links to RL intersections from your locality will help  :thumbsup:

Anyway, Diagonals anyone?



Remember that the files are layered in GIMP so if anyone would like to poke around with the files I will be happy to distribute them. LHD should also be easily attainable as well  ;)

Stephen, I am not so sure about the 3rd line swooping out from the center just away from the intersection.

I know it's how cars might drive when they approach the curve too fast, but I've never seen it on a country road in my life, just the double-yellow center line painted straight down the middle. Maybe it's just a California thing, but I've yet to see it in New England as well.

Where did you get your example from?

Oh, and I love the rest of it; just that little bit or nitpicking :-[. Well, that and the stop lines for the left turn lane (never seen in CA at least, because on these non-signalized roads one route has right-of-way and the left turn doesn't need to stop if there's no oncoming traffic).

But seriously, great work, and draggable/FLEXed as well, I presume? :thumbsup:
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

It does look as if what happened here is what happens in the DC Metro, the painter falls a sleep at the wheel when painting the lines :)

On another note, in America, if there is no Stop Sign, then we continue through without slowing down.

I agree, the third line near the turn lane looks kind of odd. Around here in Ontario, the closest we have to that is a center turn lane/left turn lane terminating after an intersection:



Nonetheless, amazing work. These textures are at another level!  &apls

Rural roads made me think of relatives I have that live down south in a town of <1,500... so I opened up Google Maps and found these:

Ignore the railroad tracks, I was mostly looking at the slip lanes and such.


I guess this could be made into a diagonal road terminating into a ortho road as well as an ortho road terminating into a diagonal one?
