Hey all. I've enjoyed the new road packs that have come out over the past couple years. They look really nice, are a perfect size, and serve many functions. But, all of them are incompatible with each other, and all of the packs have major limitations. I'm here to end those limitations. I've devised a new method for creating large, functional roads that look good and don't add on a lot to the brick count (it will be more than the other road packs, but not terribly).
This pack utilizes separate bricks for every line and road surface. This way, any combination of white, yellow, dashed, or solid could be used with one-another. You can even have green, blue, red, or whatever color line you want!
Basic Pack:Description:
This pack contains simple, universally required flat road pieces. Bricks include all sizes for the surfaces, from 8x8 up to 64x64 and all permutations in between. The pack also has straight lines and 90° turn lines. Lines come in dashed and solid variations. The lines also come in 1x and 2x types - by this I mean that a 1x line brick will fit entirely inside a 1x plate and is used primarily for double lines in the center of the road, whereas the 2x line brick overlaps two studs and is used for the lines between lanes.

Intersection Pack:Description:
This pack contains lines that make intersections possible. They include solid lines shorter than 8x, curves lines with smaller radii than turns in the basic pack, arrows, thicker lines for the T-zone/the line that stops cars before intersections, crosswalk lines, and others I haven't thought of yet.

None yet
Miscellaneous Pack:Description:
Assorted lines and such that don't fit anywhere but are absolutely necessary to complete a road system. So far, only merge/lane reduction lines are in it.

Coming Soon
Bricks Planned for Later:- Intersection bricks
- Crosswalks
- Lines
- >64x radius curves
- Off ramps (flat)
- Shoulders
- Filler for where curves leave open areas
- Elevation changes/sloped straights (with attempts to make it compatible with terrain bricks)
- Canted/superelevated curves
-
Merges-
Lane Reductions- Sidewalks
- Curbs
- Diagonals
- Partial curves
- Diagonal blanks
- Square-completing road pieces
