There are no highways in OpenTTD. Just normal roads.

So you mean...a piece of road, next to another piece of road...

Sounds like ... great fun

To be honest: I tried to make stylish highways once. You can make it good-looking with some additional GRFs. The drawback is that they have no point in a game because there are no one-way roads by now and it looks rather dull with traffic in both directions (leaving one road unused).

Okay..lets try to see some reason in this.

Why do you need highways?

Jasper30010 · Post by **Jasper30010** » 03 Feb 2007 21:57

because, they are more like roads

Griff · Post by **Griff** » 03 Feb 2007 21:57

So highways are more like roads than roads are...

But...no, their not...

You'd only have highways if your connecting towns but even then..railway traffic is strongly emphasised...
Besides, the current road system the game has is perfectly adequate for town to town journeys.

I'd quit while you're behind, if I were you.

I don't see what Highways would be good for, even if they were implented. The road simulation model in openTTD isn't that good really, at least compared to other games with such simulation. (Simcity 4 comes in mind)

If there was speed limits, and that road vehicle actually were somewhat useful, such as not being that overly expensive to run (ok, true. Some newGRF's fixes that problem

), then maybe highways would be a interesting gameplay element that weren't just for the looks.

you'd need to simulate civilian vehicles and traffic jams before highways will be useful and this isn't ever going to happen with ttd

The main problem is vehicle speeds, we need faster RVs, but to restrict their speed on normal roads in towns, only allowing them to travel faster on 'highways'.

That would give you an incentive to run dual carriageways or 'highways' not only inbetween towns but right into them so that your vehicles could travel faster. Say a maximum speed of between 80 and 100 mph, the national speed limit in Britain is a joke.
