RattRoads is essentially the successor to ARRS, featuring revamped sprites, 9 additional roadtypes, and 4 tramtypes to take advantage of some of NRT's features. All road types are compatible to each other and the default [ROAD] type so any vehicles can drive on them. Below is a basic overview of what is included:
- Old Town Roads (Hidden) [OLD_] - This is a special road type which only towns can build when starting a game pre-1920. It is just a visual combination of the dirt and sett paved roads to give early towns some extra character. It is not available for you (the player) to build.
- Dirt Road [DIRT] - Everyone's favorite bumpy, dusty, dirt roads make a return for RattRoads featuring a shiny dirty new look. These roads are available from year 0 and due to being even less safe than their paved cousins only have a default speed limit of 25mph.
- Sett Paved Road [SETT] - Also available from year 0, these roads offer a paved alternative to the muddy, bumpy roads of the old days. Made with sett stones, they offer only a slight increase in speed to 30mph, but they look especially appropriate inside old towns.
- Basic Asphalt Road [ROAD/ASP0] - Introduced in 1920 and nothing more than a strip of pavement, it is cheap and only has a default speed limit of 40mph.
- Improved Asphalt Road [ASP1] - Boasting improved safety features, such as a yellow line painted on the surface, this roadtype is introduced in 1940 and has a default speed limit of 55mph
- Modern Asphalt Road [ASP2] - This roadtype is introduced in 1970 and includes paved shoulders and fog lines, allowing a higher speed limit of 85mph.
- Highway [HWAY] - Introduced in 1955, the Highway roadtype has no speed limit, but is very expensive. Note that houses will not build along this roadtype!
- Electrified Sett Paved Road [ELSP]
- Electrified Basic Asphalt Road [ELA0/ELRD]
- Electrified Improved Asphalt Road [ELA1]
- Electrified Modern Asphalt Road [ELA2]
- Basic Tramway [RAIL]
- Electric Tramway [ELRL]
- Concrete Tramway [SAAN]
- Concrete Electric Tramway [SAAE]
Here is a handy reference table for the speed limit parameter:

Enjoy!
They could also be used for those unavoidable "Road Under Construction" zones that make us late for appointments and where we get ticketed and fined for not slowing down. 
I just noticed they are on your to-do list.
) (Route sans péages?). The usual configuration is multi-lane but OTTD does not support multi-lane. A player must build two or more two lane roads in parallel while using the one-way feature to control direction. Road stops can be used to mimic toll booths.
