Technically no. Scale doesn't dictate lanes. But it would flat out look ridiculous to have 26 lanes for less than 2 miles of the Katy freeway that we might see. How do yiu expect them to terminate realistically? Imagine how many unrealistic merging kanes ut would take. That alone stretches out roads. Not many interstates in ATS represents the full lane capacity, no point with such short stretches thru town.

Wyoming releases this year 2021. Texas and Montana could release next year 2022. That leaves 3 map leads to do 3 small states while 1 map lead remains on the rebuild. Notice I also said in place or revealed to be coming 2023. That means that we can have all 3 states end of 2023 or we can have 2 and the 3rd announced.

@supersobes and @flight50 I was talking about the city. Katy has a few truck stops that should make it.

Possibility route for the new I-14, which is getting design funding with the new infrastructure bill. Would connect I-10 in west Texas across to I-59 and I-20.

Would anyone be able to provide me with a list of all interstate highways and the length of individual highways? I tried to find it on the internet, but I didn't find it

I was wondering about I-14. I really hope that SCS adds the roads along its planned route. That way, they can updgrade them to I-14 once it's done. I'm thinking the same for I-11 in Nevada and Arizona since we have most of US-93 in the game already.

@Ceco Wikipedia has a list of Interstate highways and their distances: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of ... e_Highways

^Yep and that is why people are worried about scale in the East. Either SCS comes up with something miraculous or lots will have to get cut out.

There's atleast one Turnpike in. Florida's Turnpike.
Things will be cut out.
NTM's B-Double Telescopic Skeletal Container Carrier. Youtube video on how it works. W & S thread.
B-Double trailer and short modes: EN 7.82 swap body, 20’ or 30’ containers.
Standalone 40' mode: EN 7.82 swap body, 20', 30', 40' or 2 x 20' trailer.

Unlike the turnpikes in other states, Florida's Turnpike isn't an Interstate highway. In my opinion, when SCS gets to the east where it's really busy with roads, the Interstates should take priority.

Agreed. We'll have less US and State highways in the East. But I hope they don't completely get wiped out. Otherwise, people will complain just like Iberia and Black Sea. Currently, ATS has a nice balance but moving East will call for a change in plans without a larger scale.
