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

&.&&.&&&&& to tell the drivers about what ...&&&.&..
&&&.&&.... manouvers they allowed to perform on ...&..&&&.
&..&&.&... that particular stretch of road. ...&&.&..&
.&.&.&&&.. ...&.&&&.&
