When people watch my RCT3 videos on Youtube, they often ask me how I created the roads and car parks.

 

Some people think that you need custom scenery to create roads, car parks and vehicles. This is not the case.

 

Contrary to popular belief, I don't use the tarmac paths to create roads, if I did this, then I could not place cars on the roads.

Step 1: Mark the area where you want your road to go, and create your tarmac

 

 

You have a choice here, you can either lower the land to make the road surface, or instead surround the road area with a texture that does not blend into the surrounding area. Here I have used the brick texture.

Using the "ground painter" tool, we will now use the Tarmac ground texture to create the road surface.

 

 

Step 2: Create your road lines

 

 

Here, I am going to use the 1/3 height slate wall, remember to colour it white, then place it half-underground, as shown below:

 

 

Simply hold down the ctrl key, and continue placing your lines.

 

 

And there you have a basic road. If you want, you can also use the same technique to add other road features:

 

 

Step 3: Add cars and other vehicles

 

 

The "Generic" scenery items set contains four types of vehicle that you can use, a bus, a coach, a saloon car and a peep-carrier. All you have to do is place these scenery items in your road. Remember to vary the colours though!

 

 

And there you have it. You can also build car-parks using the same technique.
