Path with asphalt M (1/2U)
Vanilla path with asphalt texture
Works as vanilla path. In addition I’ve added an overlapping bicycle lane. Includes vanilla park lights that can be hidden or replaced with other lamps using e.g. BOB, the Tree and Prop Replacer or Network Skins 2.
Nice to lay next to national highways without sidewalks.
The paths can also be used as sidewalks along streets that have no lanes for pedestrians. Note that buildings can not function optimally without a road with pedestrian field, as police, ambulance and goods transport will not arrive (as far as I have tested). Service buildings such as police stations and schools will also complain about the lack of road connection, if they are placed next to the paths without using a road with pedestrian crossings.
One method that can give good results is to build a main street / shopping street through the city, and lay this path as a sidewalk on each side so that pedestrians find their way to the shops and houses, but in addition have regular streets at the back, where goods transport, police, fire and ambulance escape. By using Building Spawn Points, this can be customized in great detail.
NAF are good roads without pedestrian crossings, which can be combined with these paths as sidewalks. Works best on relatively flat areas, as the paths cannot be raised / lowered in the same way as normal roads. I have arranged it so that the paths can be adjusted a little in height, for small adjustments.
By the way, the paths are nice to use in parks and other places where pedestrians are to travel, often combined with curbs or fences. Can be connected to all types of trails.
To avoid grass sprites showing on the path, there’s a layer of pavement beneath the asphalt texture. This creates a thin line of ruined on each side of the path. To get rid of this, you can use surface paniter, and paint with clip. Grass sprites do show on L, M and S, so completely hiding the ugly sprites is the best option in my opinion. I use Theme Mixer for this, but you can also hide them with Hide It or Hide It Bobby if you use BOB.
