&..&&.&&&& roads are physical representations of .&.&&.&.&.
&.&.&&.... the lines on maps that tell you where &&&.&&&&&&
&&&&.&.... you can travel. ..&&......

..&..&...& those called roads are for cars. for &&&&....&&
.&&.&&..&. bikes they are called paths, for trains ...&...&.&
&.&&.&.&&& they are called rails. ..&&..&&&&
&&.&&&&..& .&.&.&....
.&&...&.&. when traveling by foot, you can follow &&&&&&...&

&&.&&.&&&& most roads are elevated, suspended .&..&.&..&
.&&.&&...& between three to a hundred (rare) &&.&&&&.&.
&.&&.&..&& meters above ground. the closer you get .&&...&&&.
&&.&&&.&.. to a city, the more intertwined they &.&..&..&&
.&&..&&&.& get. &&&.&&.&..
&.&.&..&&& ..&&.&&&..
&&&&&.&... in such areas, all crossings and .&.&&..&.&
....&&&..& intersections are placed in tunnels, or &&&.&.&&&.
...&..&.&. special tower-like structures called ..&&&&..&.
..&&.&&&&. outposts, which enfold the roads where .&...&.&&.
.&.&&...&& they interact. &&..&&&.&.

&......&&& manouvers they allowed to perform on &&..&....&
&.....&... that particular stretch of road. .&.&&...&.
