####&^\~.¨ 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 ¨.~\^###
#&\\.¨¨¨¨¨ all of these, or none. ¨¨¨¨¨.\\

####&^\~.¨ 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. ¨.~\^###

####&^\~.¨ here and there you will find symbols in ¨.~\^###
##^^\~¨¨¨¨ white, on the asphalt. these are meant ¨¨¨¨~\^^##
####&^\~.¨ to tell the drivers about what ¨.~\^###
####&^\~.¨ manouvers they allowed to perform on ¨.~\^###
#####&^\.¨ that particular stretch of road. ¨.\^####
##&&&^\~.¨ ¨.~\^&&#
#&^\\~..¨¨ however, some creatures paint their own ¨¨..~\\^
###^^^\~.¨ illicit symbols encoding territorial ¨.~\^^^###
##&\.¨¨¨¨¨ claims, nearby resources, or other ¨¨¨¨¨.\#
