yep every number is equivalent to the total number after tla. so tl6 is no ctl tl7 does etc.

though ti would be nice if we could have a tl7b 8 lanes 2 being ctl. you can see 2 ctl on a 2 lane each direction road and if there are 3 lanes on each side having one ctl is making it quite crowded...

really i just want bigger roads lol :P

actually that reminds me will tl7 have 2 lanes per on off ramp when connecting to a highway? though i do wonder how it will look going straight into a two tile highway... and rhw because its so small :p oh just as a joke you should make an end conversion on a street piece so we can have some nice traffic jams. i just realized something very important, instead of being like the other avenue roundabout can these roundabouts have 4 lanes in the circle part? actually ive never heard a mention of roundabout :) also when an intersection comes when there is a left turn lane needed can we have 2 left turn lanes? if a road uses one i think something with 3 times the lanes should at least have 2 lol :P will tl5 be out in time to be updated with the mis before it comes out? is there a rough idea of what the capacity of roads sections of tl5 and tl7 will be and there speed? i hope the big dig makes an update a month or so after tl7 comes out so we can make underground tunnels. of course we wouldn't need a tl5 entrance unless someone was picky about sims not being able to use the center turning lane for 2 tiles lol. are sims smart enough to tell that someones already in the center turn lane were they want to go or will we get a lot of crashes, i really dont care what the answer is on that one :D.

wow i typed a lot... well at least my mind will be quite for a while

Wow, wonderful work with this project!  I am really excited for the TLA-5!

I just had one question about the pavement markings.  Like the RHW, different pavement markings exist in different regions around the world, and I was wondering if different textures could be made to give this network a more international look.

Heres an example from Canada (probably the easiest one to do, just switch the broken yellow line from the outside to the inside!)


Heres one from the UK


New Zealand (its narrower than a standard lane, but still could be textured)


Anyways, those are just some examples.  If this could be done, the network would have a better international feel.

Best of luck with this project!

well why dont we wait until after the projects done and create a bunch of textures for it afterwards so we get it sooner :p that way everyone gets there texture but they tl5 and eventually tl7 first :P reallly if your waiting for tl5 and most importantly tl7 just for the texture....
so anyone who can make nice textures could start on there own texture for it :D and when it comes out upload it to lex :P

That is not a turning lane. It's basically a painted median strip - meaning that you can't use it to turn onto properties and the like (though people still do it). The middle lane is usually marked with a longer and thicker dashed white line - which is most common on tidal flow systems, but can probably be used for turning lanes.

Ok, I'm sorry if this is the wrong question, but from what I understand the concept here, and what it looks like in the pics, has anyone tried the U drive it mode with this, and can tell me if cars and/or trucks crash into them with out stopping when they cross your line of travel to go to some buildings?
Obviously thats something that can be answered, unless your a developer (lol) but would that crash?

I'm anxiously waiting the release of the TLA, so I can update my roads and avenues  $%Grinno$%.

What Haljacky Showed (of Tamaki Drive heading to Bastion Point and Mission Bay from Downtown Auckland is what New Zealand calls a Flush Median, they can range in Width from that size for 2 laners to as wide as that american shot for Four Lane Roads. Unlike the Australians Flush Medians are used for cars to enter into safe "zone" if turning into a property or coming from a property and merging back into the main road. However you can NOT over take on Flush Medians

Road Code aside Haljacky feel free to give it a shot as I will very much use it.

Oh back to the Queensland, if I remember right they use flush medians like we do, but there are 2 classes, a single outline like NZ means you can enter it for turning, a double outline means no turning.  :o

With flush medians, they use that here in Australia, but they're very rare. They don't have the cross hatching, but I suppose they'd be good as TLs.

The most astounding and unique aspect of the human race is our fervent application of our ingenuity to kill each other, thus completely defying the near-universally proven fact that the ultimate goal of a member of a species is to ensure the survival of the species.

Maybe we should stop spamming, though.

Suicide Lanes!!  So true!!  My neighbourhood has many seniors and (bless their souls) the seniors tend to drive a little further along the center turn lane than is safe, probably because they can't see the entrance to the business/strip mall that they are trying to get to very well.   
Quotevistla Reply #104 I personally am following this project with great interest and anticipation. A wider variety of transit networks is something that this game has needed for quite some time. I only wish that I posessed the modding skills to help. Unfortunatly, I'm still a ways from even mastering the game playing aspect, so I must rely on others, such as yourselves, to improve the game for me/us. You must know that this is said with great appreciation. Looking forward to further development.
I'm with vistla.  In addition I must admit I'm still figuring out this posting business.  Second try with this post as the first one 'disappeared' before I hit the post button.  (Isn't there a save message button somewhere around here?) I wonder how dedgren does his fabulous posts?  He retrieves images and quotes from all over and carefully formats and organizes each and every post.
