Description:

This is a Japanese expressway asset that can be used to create two-lane or three-lane roads. The models are around Ise Bay Expressway, Shin Meishin Expressway, and Joban Expressway.

In order for this road to work properly, you must subscribe to the essential item "Essential Parts for Expressway".

This road is beautifully designed with IMT (Intersection Marking Tool) and NC (Node Controller). This is required if you want to create a realistic outflow/inflow section.

Please see the following video for detailed production procedures.

* I have not tested on RHT. the Splitting, Merging road may be reversed.

Contents

Common
For all roads, "Bridge" is a non-ground-following version of Basic. Use this version when you want to float the road in the air or overlap it with an embankment network, etc.

1L, 2L, 3L
One-way highways. 2L and 3L can be used to build tunnels.

Double 1+1, 2+2, 3+3
A road with a double is a two-sided road, i.e., a set of upper and lower lines. It is easy to lay out and create a realistic road. In reality, tunnels cannot be built because the upper and lower lines are separated. 2L and 3L should be used.

Merging
A road for merging. These are merging lanes that go from 3 lanes to 2 lanes and from 4 lanes to 3 lanes, respectively. Since it takes 240 meters to merge, the merging lane should continue in the Splitting lane for 100 meters.

Splitting.
Mainly for branching, but also used for merging and when making uphill lanes. Make it short and lengthen the node part by NC to make it branch.

Other single parts
Basically, 1L, 2L, 3L and their Doubles are used to create roads, but median strips, guardrails, guard wires, etc. that do not appear when switching road types are cut out individually.

We don’t all need to create realistic highways, so enjoy creating fun highways as much as you can.

Note
Please note that this project is not a paid commissioned work, but a free project by Ryuichi Kaminogi alone. I have been working on this project with my life, so if you like this asset, please consider donation or super chatting with me on my distribution.
