To me, the only portion of US-30 worth mapping is the section between Grand Island-Columbus-Omaha.

^I can agree with that. I even think Columbus has a small chance at being marked. Worse case, scenic for sure with 1-2 depots tied to Omaha, Lincoln or Grand Island. I see a solid 3-4 depots total though. This portion of US-30 can easily be exaggerated to gain space and avoid space conflicts.

I-80, US-20 and US-6/US-136 would be my locks for their entirely East to West to make the dlc. Anything else should more than likely be split up.

I would LOVE to have Florida and Minnesota, specially with landmarks like Universal Studios Florida and Walt Disney World, also Kennedy Space Center.

If we can't see it from the main road that passes by Universal or Disney World, we won't get them. Neither would be valid if we can't see them.

US-30 next to I-80 in Nevada?
How it would look in average, is how Sterling looks.

US-30 doesn't go thru Nevada. Are you meaning Idaho? The part that goes thru Twin Falls?

You can see part of Universal from I4 and a few no name amusement parks. All you can really see of disney is this power pole shaped like mickey mouse

I don't know, I've been all over Minnesota, and I've never seen any of those. ;)

While Disney is distanced from the freeway, Universal is much more visible. As for Kennedy Space Center, that'll probably also be unseen, unless...

Cape Canaveral could be a marked city, mainly for its port. Not only is there a cargo terminal, but cruise terminals are also surely serviced by trucks; those massive ships need to get their bulk supplies of food etc. somehow. FL A1A's crossing of the Banana provides a view of the distant space center, but there is the option of making the Vehicle Assembly Building a job site under the Cape Canaveral address.

Handy maps and diagrams.

Furthermore, I consider that I-80 across Nevada must be redone next.

flight50, name memory took a ... vacation.
It should have read:
US-30 next to I-80 in Nebraska?
How it would look in average, is how Sterling CO with I-76 looks.

^Lol. Ahhh. No worries. Yes Sterling is pretty close to I-80 and its not too bad. But what we don't have is US-138 or US-76 Business to connects to Sterling that is all parallel to I-76. US-30 would parallel I-80 in much tighter parameters. To me, US-26/US-20 in Boise that came with the Idaho dlc that runs parallel to I-84 is the best example as to how close SCS can get and much would fit. We can't get much closer than that with development occurring between the interstate and the US road. That 1-2 miles in the game is what SCS fills in with stuff. In real life, if US-30 to I-80 is real life 1-2 miles, I don't see it working in ATS. That would look more like a frontage road with nothing able to go in between to show space.

US-30 is much much tighter as it parallels US-80 so it would be very difficult for the devs to pull that off in its entire length. That's why I don't think US-30 is a good idea.
