Name changes on roads

[john.glossop]

No, but the best I can do for a title.
Many roads and highways that cover any distance actually have one or more changes in name over their entire length. This occurs where roads were originally not connected - often between suburbs in the same city - but even in different towns or villages, but as time went on, they were joined into a single thoroughfare, but retained their original names.
I want to represent this name change in the sim, but can't work out if it's even possible.
Any thoughts, anyone?
Thanks in anticipation,
John

+1 for this. I too would like to name my main roads!

Ìn CS1 we were able to define a main road that made it possible to give the road the same name over the defined length.
This feature is indeed missing in CS2 and having it would make things easier.


However, in real life long main roads usually change their names as well throughout their total lengths. Example: a connector road from ThisTown to ThereTown has usually 2 names.. Called ThereTown Road at the side of ThisTown, and being called ThisTown Road at the side of ThereTown.

And in rare occasions if someone decides to rename a section, they do it from section to section as well (including manually changing street name signs).
So as much as the missing game feature may be annoying, it's actually pretty realistic.

No, being able to change road names would be much more realistic, IMHO.
