Road research and markings

The road looks like a big blob of (well shaded and weathered) grey.

It needs some markings, so off to google maps and streetview i went to see what the road markings in Atlanta and Woodbury are in actual real life USA. Turns out, the Americans only mark half their roads, and only if they feel like it… often the suburban areas and cul-de-sacs aren’t marked.

I decided to simply copy some stuff from more main roads, a double yellow down the middle and a white stop line.
