Expanding Igwepir and its tram network

Posted by tule00 on 14 November 2015 in English.

Igwepir was one of my first cities. You all said that I started it well.

Now I’m working on the city, especially focused on trams. Originally, it had 1 way for 2 team tracks and 1 node for the whole intersection. A while ago, I started studying maps of German cities and their tram networks, and since Reeland should be a lot like Germany, I tried modifying and expanding not just trams, but the whole city, to look like a German city.

Major changes are:

  • every tram track is a separate way

  • many more avenues (dual carriageway streets/streets with a median) and less normal roads

So, what do you think?

Streetcar-lines with two tracks always looks more realistic as with only one line. Clear - this is more difficult to draw, if the line run not in the middle of the dual carriageway of streets. In the old center of the towns such broad avenues are rare - most there are smaller streets.

If your town shall look german, then Alee has to be “Allee”, straat has to be “Straße” or shorter usual “Str.” (or in lower german “Stroot”) and Nortkap is “Nordkap”. Or do you want an only “germish” looking orthography? Then it is o.k.

I just wanted the german-looking ortography, the language is similar to German, but with some elements from Dutch (“Straat”) and other languages, and also some fictional elements.

Thanks and Regards
