&..&&.&&.& 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 &.&&&.&...
.&.&&....& unknown and mysterious things. .&&..&&&..
