Help Making Functional Parking Lots

j-dub, that's all very interesting, I'll have to do some tests and see what I can figure out.  Thanks for the information and support.

RippleJet, once again you have answered all my questions.  I truly appreciate all your assistance.

Pat, I don't know what to say.  I only know you from reading many of your posts, but I know from hanging around here what you mean to this site, and I know you are going in for surgery tomorrow, so the fact that you took time to stop by here and give me your support today leaves me speechless.  You will be in my thoughts, and I hope you have a speedy recovery.

I have one more little question regarding overlay textures.  I recall reading somewhere that you shouldn't have more than one per tile, but never heard an explanation why.  I've also read about using Ctrl-D to use more than one overlay per tile.  So the obvious question, is this a problem, and if so, why?

I have a thread under Lot Editor projects here http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=8523.0 that should supplant this thread.  Thanks again for all the support.

You can never control in which order the overlay textures appear in the game.
Check this: Question: Multiple Overlays on One Tile

It's safe to use mutliple overlay textures only if they do not overlap each other.

Excellent.  That's exactly what I was hoping to hear.  Thanks again for all your help.
