Show us your Avenues!

Well, we'd need to see a further zoom, by I notice that in this area you have one tile of clearance between the heavy rail line and parallel roads. You could use hole digger lots to build a trench for the rail line, and use simple NAM avenue and road puzzle pieces over the top, similar to what I did here (an couple of old MD pics):





And, if that idea doesn't float your boat, exploring the NAM underpass menu a bit might surprise you. They are more useful than simple straight paths under other networks - there are a variety of curves and underground intersections that make transit networks much more flexible. Your GLR needs are even accounted for in the underpass menu.

Nice MD pictures. I see you're from Chicago like myself. Is that suppose to be downtown Hammond,IN?

@cubby420: You can see from the image below that I have a problem. There is a lot of development near the rail and connecting industry etc. Also there is a wide-curve rail junction nearby. Sinking all that would not be straight-forward. I would need to demolish a lot of expensive development including the GLR/Ave and main business area to make room for underpasses. It is a puzzle but there are far too many level crossings you are right.

PS. those light coloured appartment buildings with the green roofs next to the Jefferson St. Crossing are particularly nice. Do you remember what they are?

[soulchaser]

How about el-rail? this might solve your problems

[MandelSoft]

^^ Seconded that. Solved the problem for me in my densely developed city Konrad:

[dahemac]

OK! I have taken care of all those level crossings. What do you think?

@dahemac Nice use of the FLUPs!

[Ciuu96]

I like it too, looks a lot more realistic and better!

[cubby420]

Much better dahamec! I bet the flow is better as well. As for the green roofs from my pics...I think you'll find what your looking for here. The site can be confusing, but the page numbers are at the bottom. There are tons of great goodies from SOMY there.

hi guys
i'd like to show mave-6 in my city



the bus stop in the centre is used for mave-6, with a extra bus lane, and of course with path on it. so i can drive my bus into the bus lane

sorry for those trees along the mave-6. some of them occupy a part of road...

[dahemac]

Nice Brianwy! I especially like the busstop!

[Risu]

Oh wow, that is awesome! Is that the world famous Nuclear Starbucks across the street from the bus stop??
