.&.&.&.&.. those called roads are for cars. for &.&.&&.&&.

.&.&.&.&.. they are called rails. &.&.&&.&&.

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

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

.&.&.&.&.. intersections are placed in tunnels, or &.&.&&.&&.
&&.&.&.&.& special tower-like structures called &.&..&..&.
.&.&.&.&.. outposts, which enfold the roads where &.&.&&.&&.
