Dutch ROad Project - DROP

[javelinnl]

Started out as a bike mod, upscaled the scope a bit:



Bikes can use bicycle lanes and roads up to 60 km/h,
other vehicles can use roads but not the bicycle lanes.

Missed opportunity to name it DuRP

On a serious note, looks good, it's an interesting idea You may want to do a bit more texturing to the pavement though, it looks a little monotone at the moment.

Very nice idea!!

Drop is Dutch for liquorice, you ain't Dutch if you don't like drop!
(We eat tonnes of the stuff)

I agree with regards to the remarks about the texturing.
Maybe take a good look at the textures of Andrew's roads (or even use one of his roads, that doesnt have road-markings, as a base, as they are GPL-licensed).
Because the road-markings are very recognisable!

With regards to the texture of the bicycle lanes, take a look at Flogeza's City Objects:
viewtopic.php?p=1238776#p1238776

That has some bike-lanes that are a bit more brownish/pinkish, which may look a bit more soothing to the eye than the more reddish you have now.

I like this a lot, I think you did a very good job on the bicycles!

I agree with the rest here in the textures department, they're not bad per se they just look a little out of place amoung the rest of the much noisier opengfx.
I like your selection of roads, it's very representative of what's actually out there! I would however like to suggest renaming the Autoweg to Expressway and Autosnelweg to Motorway to better reflect the actual English translation.

Good idea, I'll go and take a look!

Yeah, the texture needs some love. I felt like adding some fresh eyes for advice though, I've been painting roads for too long so I'm at the stage where I'm going to hate everything I did, no matter what.

Expressway sounds classy, I like it.

Like Quast65 said, it's liquorice
I'll admit that as an acronym it's a bit of a stretch though, perhaps I should call it the Dutch Roads & Objects Project, add some Dutch windmills and tulips fields for good measure.

[javelinnl]

Better?

[Argus]

Although it's off topic here, but finally some cable cars And on the topic: When Holland, what about waterways?

Something I also think is worth considering for the roads themselves is trolleybus overhead equipment (present in Arnhem after all) and perhaps even some tram rails?

I just downloaded Velo as well and it seems like DROP and Velo are for some reason incompatible while they both work fine on their own. Is that intended behaviour?
