Description:

The roads that I use in my city (work in progress).
See the following wikipedia pages for an explanation of the used terms:


Naming convention

Syntax: RH-SL-Sym-RC-[RWS]-RCA-O


RH – Road hierarchy

  • Hwy – Highway / Freeway / Motorway / Expressway / Controlled-access / Limited-access
  • Art – Arterial road
  • Col – Collector road / Distributor road
  • Loc – Local road / Street
  • Ded – Dedicated road


SL – Speed limit
Applies to all vehicles excluding bikes

  • y – Where y is the speed limit in Kmph


Sym – Symmetry
A symmetrical road configuration is the default by omission

  • Symmetrical road configuration
    In a symmetrical road configuration only the left-side road components are specified, in the RC element, from left to middle.
  • #A – Asymmetrical road configuration
    In an asymmetrical road configuration all road components are specified explicitly from left to right. The right-side road components, coming after the roadway(s), are specified in the RCA element, from middle to right.


RC – Road configuration components
Syntax: Consist of a varying set of the following elements, usually in this order.

  • SB – Sound barrier
  • Sh – Shoulder
  • SW – Sidewalk (2W+1L)
  • G – Grass verge
  • T – Trees verge
  • bike – Bike lane (1W+1L)
  • BIKE – Bike lane (2W+2L)
  • P – Paved verge
  • G – Grass verge
  • T – Trees verge
  • PL – Parking lane
  • bus – Bus lane (1W+1L)
  • BUS – Bus lane (2W+2L)


[RWS] – Roadway specification
A maximum of two roadways is assumed
Syntax: D+L+M

D – Direction

  • 1W – One-way
  • 2W – Two-way

L – Lanes

  • xL – x regular lanes (where regular stands for non-dedicated)
  • xL(y+z) – In case of asymmetrical lanes (y+z=x)
    By default, bikes and pedestrians are not allowed on regular lanes unless stated otherwise under Other – O

M – Median

  • P – Paved median
  • G – Grass median
  • T – Trees median
  • R – Guardrail median


RCA – Right-side road configuration components
See the RC element for the possible components.


Other – O

  • Busway – Bus-only road – 2L+2W
  • Bikepath – Bike-only road – 2L+2W (pedestrians may walk here)
  • Footpath – Pedestrians-only road – 1L+2W
  • BoR – Bikes on regular lanes
  • PoR – Pedestrians on regular lanes
  • (abc) – Any kind of important aspect of a road e.g. it’s made of bricks or it’s a ramp, etc.
