Thank you very much for your opinions, I really appreciate, and your ideas are very good!
Firstly, I was also thinking of building the missing parts of the main roads which were avoided by SCS. Here we have some concerns, though. I can make A1 to Sibiu and then continue with DN7 to Bucharest, but DN7 there means a lot of work because of the scenery and the many towns and villages. So, building A1 to Sibiu is very possible and I think I would do it. But for Sibiu - Bucharest I can think only of continuing with A1 to reach Pitești; yes, this way A1 Sibiu - Pitești would be an imaginary route in the game, because IRL is only planned, and I cannot know the exact locations where the motorway will pass. Another option could be building DN1/E68 from the Sibiu A1 interchange to Brașov, and then from Brașov building A3 (also imaginary, but planned IRL) to reach Bucharest. I am not sure which option should I choose, but in any case I should build an imaginary motorway to reach Bucharest, as there is too much work on the national roads DN1 or DN7 with the scenery, and I don't have the right experience in the editor to do that yet.
Secondly, about the rest of the roads. I will try to build the newly-built motorways in Romania that are not included in the DLC (A10, A3 near Târgu-Mureș, the missing parts of A1). I will also rebuild the Turda Interchange to connect A10 (I really like that interchange, it's very interesting and strange-looking compared to any other motorway interchange I've seen; this is why I started with it in my first work).
Thirdly, about the signs (my main concern about Romanian Roads
). I would like to make a new signage system, as I did in my work in Romania Reworked, but it will be an imaginary one. This is mainly because the Romanian signage and road numbering is just not useful for drivers, it is more confusing than helping for orientation. For example, when first segments of A1 were built in Transylvania, respectively A1 Sibiu bypass, it was numbered as A1/E81 and replacing the old DN1, which was E81. But with the next segments it was not the same. The rest of A1, from Sebeș to Arad is just A1, and E81 and then E68 is used on DN1/DN7. For what reason? Nobody knows. This is one of the problems with the motorways in Romania, and this happens also with A3 and E60. Instead of numbering A3 as E60 also, they let E60 remain on DN1. Another problem: bad signage on motorway interchanges; I can provide here as example the lack of properly marking the interchanges on A1. Look here:
Sebeș-Est; you have here just Sebeș, instead of Sebeș-Est, and also you have Sibiu... Why you should have Sibiu if you passed long time ago Sibiu? Nobody knows... And if you will look farther on A1 to Sebeș, you will see that until you reach Simeria, all the interchanges will have Sebeș (without North, East or West) and Orăștie. I could continue with examples here, but I have already written too much
.
So, yeah, these are the things I had to say about a next version of my map mod. I appreciate your ideas and I will take them into consideration. Thank you for your support and I hope to hear your opinions!
Best regards
