Parallel HighwayTools


Using the two sets of Highway Tools, you can easily create parallel highways with varying sizes of curves and degrees of curvature.

If you're lazy like me, you might have trouble making highways perfectly parallel. I usually eyeball it, get it "close enough" and live with it. Despite my laziness, I'm also a little OCD so I've always wished there was an easier way.

To solve this problem, I created two sets of highway assets. There's a "Raised Highway" set and an "At Grade (Flat) Highway" set. Each has 3 radius sizes and each size has 3 angles.

Separated Highways
  • At Grade (Flat) Highways
  • Raised Highways
Each includes the following:

Small Radius
  • 22.5 Degrees
  • 45 Degrees
  • 90 Degrees
Medium Radius
  • 22.5 Degrees
  • 45 Degrees
  • 90 Degrees
Large Radius
  • 22.5 Degrees
  • 45 Degrees
  • 90 Degrees
The raised highways can be downloaded from Steam here.

The at-grade highways can be downloaded from Steam here

Layout Tips: The large radii assets snap together easy. The smaller radius ones will sometimes have overlaps. To deal with this, I will demolish a small piece and replace by hand, or leave a gap and fill with a short straight segment.
