Revamps in Ayala, Kalabag, & Darsons

Posted by CharlieG on 22 August 2017 in English. Last updated on 23 August 2017.

UPDATE 8/23/17: The motorways themselves are done in both cities, although I worked off of two existing, half-built, half-under-construction highways in Darsons. Still, I have been working on them non-stop for three days, and I’m glad to say that these cities’ motorways have been finished.

My plans have been sorta like Robert Moses’, without destructing neighborhoods. Ayala is modern, so it will demolish roads in the central city, but the cars still can use the new HUGE motorway to get there without having to walk more than a third of a mile. (Seeing distance)

The Ayala Thruway has further reached Kalabag, as those cities neighbor each other. I didn’t want to just make a 2-mile long stretch of a HUGE UNDERGROUND THRUWAY, so I extended it into Kalabag, and revamped the motorways to act like an outer beltway. (more like inner towards the top though)

Darsons was not 100% successful. I’ve changed plans over and over again, renaming and referencing the roads differently each time. But, I eventually figured it all out. Basically, there are two beltways: 1. The Inner Beltway 2. The South Beltway The South Beltway was called ‘I-706S,’ for South I-706. They put a cardinal direction in interstate numbers sometimes, so I did it this time. It was the original beltway, but when I saw Darsons as a whole, that’s where plans got out of whack.

The Inner Beltway was based off of existing highways, being renamed, revamped, and re-referenced. I’d say more than half of it was based on I-6, I-606, and others. BTW, I-706S was called I-466, but I changed it. Anyway, the Inner Beltway was 1/3 or more renamed to the ‘Darsons Interchange,’ as a glob of interstates and Arkansas (i think) routes clashed out and spilled on top of one another like a salad. I just called the stretch of I-606 that it was spilling out on the ‘Darsons Interchange,’ and not the beltway because it made more sense as five different routes were entering and exiting. At one point, a long point actually, there are four routes running the same road. I think I’m going to add HOV lanes/express lanes, EXACTLY like Ayala, but I don’t know. Listen, Darsons is a mess, I fixed it, but made it even more complicated along the way. If anyone can help make an express-lanes plan or a reroute plan, or to just leave it alone, come soon!

The motorway sounds a bit over the top!

Part of Ayala’s trouble seems to be it’s relatively small block size. Taking the rigid grid, I would expect Ayala to be pretty modern, and in that case the blocks could be twice to four times their current size easily. If you do that (imagine every other road removed) you suddenly see much less roads and the whole looks is less congested - the thruway is no longer needed.

Also to the east there seems plenty of space for a circular beltway - much easier and cheaper made than this subsoil budget eater. But hey, Gobrassanya is joint madness so maybe a local politician did really want to go into history with a mega-project ? A sort of local Robert Moses, anyone ?

I’m even more confused following the edit to the original post. It’s now talking about cities in Gobrassanya and Commonia in the same post…

A better place to work on the Gobrassanya cooperation, and coordination, is OGF:Gobrassanya / Talk:OGF:Gobrassanya. Probably notice a fair bit there is about having less freeways!
