An add-on for this set has just been released: UK style motorway signs, on special request of Leanden. More details in the second post.

EDIT: also there's now a bugfix release of the main set, the standalone motorway signs were missing UK roads support

Good job with the highway end, does that work with UK roads and normal roads?

EDIT: Removed my request, i believe we have a 3->2 lane tile in development, still good stuff though so sit in place until we have something within the GRF itself. :)

I've drawn it to match the righthand drive version of UK roads. I'm not very good at drawing, so maybe its better if you guys redraw it. But I think it will be a nice add-on for V0.5.2 ;-)

EDIT: Just read your edit, cool that you are also working on something like that!

Nice screenshot, Quast65!
I'll add it to the first post, along with a link to your highway end grf.

Similar ends are indeed planned for the next version (which will be 0.6.0, not 0.5.2 ;)). What I have in mind is some sort of combination of what you have in your grf and what oberhuemer has drawn (in the screenshot Leanden posted). They will support variable length and will have the guardrail dive into the ground.
I already started work on end pieces for the shoulders.

For now your grf is a great addition. And of course people can keep using it next to my implementation if they like yours better! Did you upload it to the content download?

Thnx! I've not uploaded my GRF to the content download, It's badly drawn and only supports righthanddrive UK roadset. But it works fine now until you guys are ready for a next release ;-)

By the way, just some ideas now there are Matrix boards, How about some tiles with roadworkers in them or a carcrash? :twisted:

Quast, im liking your highway end signs, although ive noticed that there arent enough different orientations to cover every direction of slope.

Thats correct, It's only for flat surfaces or a perfect slope to a tunnel (picture highwayend01).
But that is all I need for my highways. I only play on a Dutch scenario that is 95% flat. And to be honest even if you play rougher terrains, you want your highways as flat as possible to keep up the speed.
I wouldn't want highways where one side is on sealevel and the other below (picture highwayend02), I would terraform that to be flat.
One side through a mountain is no problem by the way (picture highwayend03)

I was more thinking that my motorways are built in trenches, and at the end of one going from NE to SW, the last tile of the motorway goes up a hill, but i cant place a highway end there :)

Ahh, I see!

Only answer I have is to go from 2 to 3 lanes (and viceversa) in the trench, but that doesn't look very nice, or build highways on slopes. They are not called HIGHways for nothing ;-) See picture below.

I don't think I will draw/encode a better solution for you, as it is no use to me and you guys are getting close to a better drawn way to make the 2 to 3 lanes transition.

ONTOPIC: Is it possible to draw/encode 2 extra activators? One with 3 green arrows (indicating 3rd lane is open) and one with 3 white circles (indicating end of speedlimit/close down of 3rd lane due to accident)

Motorways in the UK tend to have enbankments built around them to contain the noise.

Actually a highway can be anything. The US Route 66 for instance is in many places just a simple single carriageway with one lane in each direction, but still a highway. Much like our provincial roads.

But that's just semantics :)

That's certainly possible. Three green arrows is easy, as that's just copy/paste. The "end of all by matrix signs indicated restrictions" one is slightly more work, as that involves with possible scale problems, but I'll try.

In the Netherlands we generally don't have space for that, so we use other types of noise barriers. I plan to add some different versions of those to the set.

You have OpenTTD 1.1.4, which is older than 1.2.0 and r22723.
