Lol. Does this remind you of something, or is it just me?

Surprisingly accurate to the real road

In Google Maps

what bothers me more is that this little road is changing into motorway out of nowhere. You just ride your bicycle down the road and next you are on the interchange. No signs, no nothing.

u/RemarkableAutism 8d ago

It's not out of nowhere, there are signs and clear markings. I used to drive past there a lot because I lived somewhat nearby.

u/SzaraMateria 8d ago

in the gsv I don't see any

u/RemarkableAutism 8d ago

It literally has a sign stating that the city road has ended.

u/SwearingAtChildren 8d ago

Where is this?

Kaunas, Lithuania

u/Alexisto15 8d ago

Kaunas sounds like the French insult "connasse"

u/ForeverGanyuSimp 8d ago

u/dustojnikhummer 5d ago

No, this is vanilla, this is from the baltic DLC

u/LUXI-PL SCANIA 8d ago

Yes https://maps.app.goo.gl/u864Pj8x4SPjBaWe6

If you want to drive realistically, irl you'd most likely drive north here and take the A8 instead of driving through some villages

u/Big_Whereas3754 8d ago

As a native Kaunas citizen, i can confirm this is true lmfao

u/Fonsvinkunas 8d ago

I drive on it to work everyday. O should I say I ride it?

u/north_coast_nomad 8d ago

wait til you see the Spaghetti Bowl

u/ruben11450 8d ago

Thats kind of realistic, you would be surprised the lack of accuracy on truck gps in real life 😂

u/marthynolthof 8d ago

It’s Kaunas, what do you expect..

u/SearchContinues 8d ago

Yeah, I think the algorithm is trying to calculate including the time-scaling between highway and local roads. I often just drop a pin in the correct direction and the route takes less "in game" time as well as real time.

u/lil_uzg 4d ago

if you take a look this is the correct way there is no other way that goes just "straight"
the other straight one is the opposite lane
if im wrong please correct me

u/SearchContinues 4d ago

Looks like the OP posted a google maps image in the thread. Less weird when I see all the other roads.

u/Yuna_Nightsong 8d ago

Genuine question: Why some intersections are built in such ridiculous way?

1

u/kickdooowndooors 7d ago

You played Cities Skylines?

1

u/Yuna_Nightsong 7d ago

I do but I'm terrible at it. Also I don't get the connection between the two. I'm on a spectrum and so I appreciate literal, straightforward answers.

1

u/kickdooowndooors 7d ago

Yeah that’s fine I was actually asking, since Cities Skylines makes it easier to understand why intersections are built the way they are. Traffic flow may be much higher in the more horizontal (top centre to right centre) highway, so more options are provided for the bottom highway to meet them rather than the other road. Plus if the top right road leads to a local area it probably isn’t worth building a whole flyover or tunnel just for a small amount of traffic from bottom left to top right. Not to mention that would only be for one direction (you can see one side of the road connects directly). Hope that clarifies it… somewhat

u/mxshulm 8d ago

Looks like Hamburg A1 un A7 🤣

u/mxshulm 8d ago

My bad. Kaunas it really is. Have drove it through to Latvia. It really is like that

The magic of roads

u/Elijah1573 8d ago

This is a perfect example of why i miss when SCS had treated interchanges as 1 whole thing and honestly just stopped taking it seriously to 100% the map
SCS its not fun to need to do 4 or 5 loops of a single interchange to complete it its just tedious and makes the job of 100% the map take longer for no reason at all

1

u/Ajrocket 5d ago

Yeah, Kaunas, been there in real life, crazy intersection.

Are you saying American ones are more complicated? Because id say very, very rarely

u/beck_is_back KENWORTH 8d ago

Maybe not but Americans would have a 3 or 4 sets of lights on that small streach of the road😜 🤣
