.&.&.&.&&. 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. &.&.&.&&.&
