Two-Way Highways

In the base game, every highway is one-way. To get traffic in both directions, you must build two highways side by side, and you cannot turn an existing country road into a highway. This mod adds highways with lanes in both directions on one single road. 10 NEW ROAD TYPES You find them in the Highways tab of the road menu, right after the base game highways: - 1+1 (100 km/h) - 2+2 (100 km/h) - 2+2 with middle guardrail (120 km/h) - 3+3 (100 km/h) - 3+3 with middle guardrail (120 km/h) Each one also comes with noise barriers on both sides. Roads without a middle guardrail are limited to 100 km/h. Roads with a steel guardrail in the middle go up to 120 km/h. UPGRADE A COUNTRY ROAD 1. Open the road menu and the Highways tab. 2. Pick a two-way highway. 3. Switch to replace mode (the magic wand). 4. Drag along the country road. That's it. No need to demolish anything. MIDDLE GUARDRAIL TOOL A new "Middle guardrail" tool is in the road tools tab, next to the noise barriers. Use it to add a guardrail by hand where you want one. GOOD TO KNOW - Manual placement only: towns never build these roads and never change them. - No houses grow along them, like the base game highways. - The noise barriers are the base game ones, with the same noise reduction. They work together with the middle guardrail, also when you add them by hand. - The middle guardrail follows curves. It stops at intersections and at sharp corners. For a continuous guardrail, build smooth roads (curves or aligned pieces). - Available from 1940. - Cost per meter: 360 for the 1+1, 720 for the 2+2, 1,080 for the 3+3 (the same as two base game highways). - Works on existing saves. - WARNING: IF YOU REMOVE THIS MOD FROM A SAVE THAT USES THESE ROADS, THE SAVE CAN BREAK! WHAT'S NEXT? The next update will add end pieces to the middle guardrail: crash cushions and end terminals. CHANGELOG Update 2 - 4 new road types: 2+2 and 3+3 with a steel guardrail in the middle, with or without noise barriers, at 120 km/h. - New "Middle guardrail" tool. - Roads without a middle guardrail (1+1, 2+2, 3+3) are now limited to 100 km/h. Roads you already built get the new speed automatically. - To add the guardrail to a 2+2 or 3+3 you already built, use the replace tool with the guardrail version. - New menu icons, preview pictures and mod pictures. - Thanks to everyone for the feedback in the comments! Update 1 - First release: 1+1, 2+2 and 3+3 two-way highways, with or without noise barriers. Feedback and bug reports are welcome in the comments.
