US Street Segments

shg0816_13461e8196

I know there are some street items over at renderosity; however, they are more European, with the curved intersections. I've seen this https://www.daz3d.com/streets, but it's not quite what I am looking for.

I would love it if someone could create a street pack (4-way intersection, straight section, curved section, 3-intersection all with/without sidewalks) so someone could customize a neighborhood, city, town, etc.

What is it about Streets that you didn't like? It does have all the things you listed. Of course, it's deliberately low poly, since it's mainly meant as a background.

The one thing I didn't like about the MacLean Streets package is that there are no sections with residential driveways.  Personally, that would be what I want with regards to street sections.

The freebie, Street Construction Set, on ShareCG, is a step in the right direction, but unfortunately the driveways are quite narrow.  But maybe I could work around it.

Worst case scenario, I could always add a morph or two to a MacLean straight street section.

It's not that it's low poly (would certainly save on computer resources), aside from the promo images, I'd like to see it in an image kitbashed with other products, just to see other capabilities, especially the streets, as that is really the only thing I am looking for.

But as Eighties said, I also need entrances into various areas (parking lots/car parks), driveways, alleys (all that cut into sidewalks)

Another idea is that there should be street segments with a median in the center, along with a Keep Right sign.  Many cities have at least one street with a median in the center, if I recall.

I also think there should be 3-way and 4-way intersection segments with islands on each corner that would make right turns much safer.  These types of intersections are abundantly found in many cities.  I'll provide illustrations later today.

Also, a cul-de-sac would be a good idea.  Cul-de-Sac is another name for a dead end street, and again, are abundantly found in many cities.

The other thing I would like to see is multi-lane streets.

In a lot of US cities, there are 1 way streets, but have 2-3 lanes. Also, piling on to what Eighties said, with medians, there are usually, at least 2 lanes running each direction with the center island.

Also, left turn lanes at intersections, where there is a special lane for left turning vehicles, so they don't block the main portion of the road

There are multi-lane street options in Maclean's Streets set, at least for the one-way option.  But I agree, multi-lane streets as two-way traffic would be a great idea..

I will admit, there is one thing I do enjoy about Maclean's product, and that is the street signs that are included in the product.
