Description
Surface Roads 2L2W + 2L1W by Chamëleon

It always bothered me very much that invisible streets could not be easily connected to normal streets and that this blue clipping occurs, which has to be covered in a complicated way. After i had released my Flat roads based on clus flat road i thought that there must be an option to have invisible roads with a good connection to normal roads.

Some people told me that nothing like this would be possible. After fiddling around a while i decided to try a different approach. I used the well known Surface Networks by 네인 | neinnew, stretched them a little, combined them with clus flat road and there they are: Flat Surface Roads that match your Theme Surfaces and connect smooth to the normal roads!

This Pack includes each one version Grass, Gravel and Pavement Surface road as well as 5 versions of asphalt surface roads.


Grass Surface Road 2L2W - Invisible on grass!
Grass Surface Road 2L1W - Invisible on grass!


Gravel Surface Road 2L2W - Nice for Rurals
Gravel Surface Road 2L1W - Nice for Rurals


Pavement Surface Road 2L2W - Perfect for car parking lots
Pavement Surface Road 2L1W - Perfect for car parking lots


Asphalt Surface Road 2L2W - for roads as connectors in industrial areas
Asphalt Surface Road 2L1W - for roads as connectors in industrial areas



Plaza-Editions - for fancy stuff - ONLY 2 WAY!

Asphalt Surface Road 2L2W PCDS - Plaza, Cul-de-Sac
Asphalt Surface Road 2L2W PCDSP - Plaza, Cul-de-Sac, painted Pavement
Asphalt Surface Road 2L2W P - Plaza, straight End
Asphalt Surface Road 2L2W PGC - Plaza with Grass Connector



The Surface flat Roads 2L2W + 2L1W have a smooth connection to normal roads, Ped Paths (on the sides of the road), No Parking, no Markings, no Props.

All roads are calculated 16m wide, but all of them use a smaller size for the Vehicle and Pedestrian lanes. The CIMS will walk at ~4m from the middle of the roads. This means effective used width is just ~8m! So you can use Move It to place Buildings closer to the road!


Red = CIMs walking Paths - Green = Vehicle driving lanes

All the roads are designed to be placed on flat ground, allthough the can handle slightly slopes. But all roads are elevateable like vanilla gravel roads.

Only the Asphalt Surface Road 2L2W + 2L1W PCDSP Version have painted Ped Paths connection to the normal roads and the CIMs will walk on the painted Pavements. So this one road needs the full 16m width.

The Plaza versions are ~8m width but they creates a small Plaza at junctions. These Plaza roads are for specific usages and sometimes they might be a little bit honky wonky.

The CDS (Cul de Sac / Dead End) Versions create opticaly a cul-de-sac. If you move the cul-de-sac end a little bit up and down the form of if changes a little bit.

The Version Asphalt Surface Road 2L2W P - Plaza, straight End
Asphalt Surface Road 2L2W PGC - Plaza with Grass Connector just have a different end - depending on what you need for your theme or specific usage. Both are used to have just hard cutted road endings.

My personal Favs are the Grass and the Gravel Surface versions, as they match to to have rural or farming areas.

While most of the road will create a kind of 'ruining' (even as i've turned it of) and they need a good theme / Theme Mix, the Grass Surface version will also be like invisible for Vanilla themes

All roads share several of their textures so the usage of Loading Screen Mod make sense :)

You will get a 'GravelBridgePillar duplicate' warning - this one is normal as the same pillar is used for all of thes roads and therefore nothing to worry about!

This time i was lazy to create nice looking road icons... maybe i will change this in future...

Special Thanks to BlueHawk for testing

I tried those. They work -ish. But I don't like being stuck with built-in decorations. I just want a channel I can put water in. Excluding canals, of course.

I use this a bunch https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1902022083

But it is unreliable, especially for narrow rivers. And it doesn't have the best interface. But I can't find another network that does what it does.

Any chance you could add a riverbed version to the collection? Something sand/ruined color that didn't show the "flooded" warning? The idea being that it could be laid out like a road, but sunken down to provide a channel for water.

@Chamëleon Whoops, that was it, thanks!

@truffleshuffle you had somewhere recolored the road either with repaint globally or with Network Skins, that keep the last selected color for the next of same you build.

The Grass surface roads have a weird red glow when transitioning to other roads: https://i.imgur.com/aTj8MP3.png All the other surfaces look fine, I'm only seeing this with the grass roads, both 2w and 1w. Advice welcome =)

This is due to the fact the same pillar is used for all of the roads. As stated above in the description:

"You will get a 'GravelBridgePillar duplicate' warning - this one is normal as the same pillar is used for all of thes roads and therefore nothing to worry about!"

It would be only an issue if i would have different pillars used

Your Road Pack is fine, but can you please fix this when you get a chance:

Broken assets:

Custom Assets: 2175361167.GravelBridgePillar: Duplicate prefab name
Custom Assets: 2175361167.GravelBridgePillar: Duplicate prefab name
Custom Assets: 2175361167.GravelBridgePillar: Duplicate prefab name
Custom Assets: 2175361167.GravelBridgePillar: Duplicate prefab name
Custom Assets: 2175361167.GravelBridgePillar: Duplicate prefab name
...

there's always a message, and it's a little annoying...
