###@&$^~^, roads are physical representations of ,^~^$&@###

####@&$^~^ ^~^$&@####
###@&$^~^, those called roads are for cars. for ,^~^$&@###
####@&$^~^ bikes they are called paths, for trains ^~^$&@####
###@&$^~^, they are called rails. ,^~^$&@###

####@&$^~^ most roads are elevated, suspended ^~^$&@####

####@&$^~^ meters above ground. the closer you get ^~^$&@####

####@&$^~^ get. ^~^$&@####

####@&$^~^ in such areas, all crossings and ^~^$&@####
###@&$^~^, intersections are placed in tunnels, or ,^~^$&@###
####@&$^~^ special tower-like structures called ^~^$&@####
###@&$^~^, outposts, which enfold the roads where ,^~^$&@###
