Simcity urban expressway

DIFFERENTS between Urban expressway and Expressway
  • Speed limit of Urban expressway is 80 km/h
  • Speed limit of Expressway is 120 km/h
  • Expressway has emergency lane but urban expressway without



Each one has these roads:
  • Blue=Main road
    Urban Expressway-2/3/4/5/6 lanes
    Expressway-2+1/3+1/4+1/5+1 lanes
  • Red=Ramp
    2/3/4 lanes
    1+1 lanes
    2D/4D /*2D=2 lane double way,'+1' means +1 emergency lane*/
  • Purple=Smooth Segment
    1+1/2/3/4 lanes
  • Yellow=Doubleway main road
    Urban Expressway-4/6/8/10/12 lanes
    Expressway-4+2/6+2/8+2/10+2 lanes
EACH one EXCEPT purple has B-Size
Data Setting
Speed Limit
Urban Expressway = 80 km/h
Expressway = 120(Inner or left)&100(Outer or right) km/h
Emergency Lane = 120 km/h
Expressway Tunnel = 80 km/h
Ramp/Smooth Segment = 60 km/h

Cost

X Lane Single Expressway <==> (X+1) Lane Single Urban Expressway
X Lane Double Expressway <==> (X+2) Lane Double Urban Expressway

X Lane Single Urban Expressway build cost=70%* (X-1) Lane Single Expressway build cost
X Lane Ramp/Smooth Segment build cost=90%* X Lane Single Urban Expressway build cost
2X Lane Double way cost/*YELLOW ICON ONLY*/=1.8* X Lane Single way cost/*BLUE ICON*/

Elevated cost = 1.2* Basic cost
Bridge cos t= 1.5* Basic cost
Slope/Tunnel cost = 2* Basic cost

Basic cost:(Single Urban Expressway)

Usage
Before read the chapter , please see this —— "connect directly"
It means that many kinds of the roads connect each other , the angle of node which connect with them is 180°


Blue/Red/Yellow A-Size

Like OST expressway/NE2 Roads,you can use these (urban) expressway like OST expressway.

Purple

Like SHUTO expressway, it can make a smooth merge for you , you can use with Marking Network to make a reality junction.
WITHOUT SMOOTH SEGMENT↑
WITH SMOOTH SEGMENT↓
BUT THERE ARE SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW
  • It needs big room to flatten junction, please make the junction on the same level as far as possible,or it will appears a cliff on the road
  • Do not make segment too short , or it may has model errors , and the vehicle will slow down.//you can use move it to make long segment.
    Connect directly and connect with same wide ramp will reduce required length.


  • Smooth Size depends on segment length which connect the junction

B SIZE

B Size likes CSUE/R or R69 Expressway , it doesn't has node , it's more difficult than A Size , but it can achieve something which A Size can't do.
All B Size based on "connect directly"

  • Elevated Expressway—Ground Auxiliary Road
  • Road Start On Road
OTHERS
NOTICE
  • Smooth Segment is incompatible with B-Size , but they can connect if they are same wide
//Smooth Segment bases on its node , B-Size will delete nodes

  • Portal Frames is not necessary , if you dislike , you can subscribe without portal frames

  • If you want to change the streetlights , please use network skin and keep the default streetlights on , if it is off , network skin will not detect the streetlight drop-down box
SCERETS
There are some "Black Technology" in my work , you can use these to make some special visual effect.

  • Successive Median
This features based on TMPE , since 2018/02 , it applied in 中国高速 first in workshop , and you can use TMPE to control the median in crossing , if trafficlights disappear , the median will appear.
/**/
  • Portal Frames Control
This features based on Move it . In workshop , this features first applied in 中国高速 . You can use move it and make the segment length shorter to make portal frames disappear.
If you don't want this appear , you can use move it to make the segment length<20m
Double way control algorithm↑
  • No-node connect and Node connect
This features based on TMPE . In workshop , this features first applied in 3 in 1 Hyper Avenue 10+2 Lane . You can use TMPE to make the road connect with both B Size road A Size roads which is same attribute with trafficlights.
  • Turn-Around Lane
This features based on TMPE . Need turn around ? You can use this .In workshop , this features first applied in 2 in 1 Hyper Avenue 10+2 Lane .Click right to make a gap on median , use with TMPE lane connect , the car will trun around in this gap.

  • Luminous
This feature based on streetlights . Due to Editor disabled i-texture , it can't light by itself , it needs streetlights to shine . In workshop , this features first applied in this series.

適用於中國城市快速路4D Road Mod。您可以添加路肩/分解車道嗎?另外,您可以將目前的花園道路分隔線替換為混凝土分隔線嗎?
