A road is an identifiable route, way, or path for the passage of people, vehicles, or animals between two or more places. Roads are typically smoothed, paved, or otherwise prepared to allow easy travel, although they need not be. Historically, many roads were simply recognizable routes without any formal construction or maintenance. Roads that pass through a city, town, or village are often known as streets.

When there is an obstacle (such as a body of water, valley, road, or rail) in the way of a road, a bridge can be used. A bridge is a structure built to span a physical obstacle without blocking the way underneath. On the other hand there are tunnels. Tunnels are civil engineering structures that create an underground passage that may pass through a hill, under buildings or roads, underwater or even under entire cities.

==Gameplay==
In ''[[Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic]]'' the player has the ability to use roads, bridges and tunnels. When developing a world or expansion in a world, it's wise to begin with mud roads. Mud roads can basically be used for planning of the roads in cities, interconnect cities and/or connections to a border house. Mud roads can upgraded to gravel, asphalt and even roads with lights.

Mud roads can be used for planning roads within cities, interconnecting cities, and connecting to a border house. Mud roads can be upgraded to gravel, asphalt, and even roads with lights.


Bridges are also available in the game for crossing a valley or river. Bridges can be built from [[wood]], [[concrete]] or [[steel]]. Tunnels can be dug through hills and mountains.

Bridges can be built from wooden {{Resource icon|Boards|}}, {{Resource icon|Bricks|}}, {{Resource icon|Prefab panels|}}, {{Resource icon|Concrete|}} or {{Resource icon|Steel|}} as their main component. Tunnels can be dug through hills and mountains.


Roads can be connected to other roads, no matter what type of road it is. Each type of road has its own limitations regarding speed. The advantage of street lighting is that vehicles can also drive at a higher speed at night compared to the same vehicle, on the same type of road without street lighting.

===Rain===
Rain seems to affect only mud roads, but has a devastating effect of reducing the max. speed to just 8 km/h. If the mud road is used more than occasionally, consider upgrading it to a gravel road to nullify the rain debuff.
 
===Snow===
If roads remain unplowed, their max. speed is reduced to ~35% of their default value. The exact values are:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| Mud road || 12 km/h
|-
| Gravel road || 21 km/h
|-
| Panel road || 28 km/h
|-
| Asphalt road || 38 km/h

====Segment====
A segment is a part of a road or rail track, without any interruption. The part just goes from A to B and doesn't have any crossing or junction. In the image above  
A segment is a part of a road or rail track, without any interruption. The part just goes from A to B and doesn't have any crossing or junction. In the image above there is an example road infrastructure. Every segment of road has been given a number. Each number represents a segment of road. In this picture there are a total of 15 segments.

If for example a new road connects in the middle of segment 3, then segment 3 will be split into two separate segments and the new road becomes a new segment.

====Node====
====Node====
A node marks the beginning of a segment and another node marks the end of a segment. So a segment has always two nodes. In the image above the nodes are marked as purple dots on the end of roads and on interconnections between roads. When interconnecting pieces of segments, the segments start sharing nodes.

When the player [[Keyboard_Control_Settings_/_Hotkey_Bar#Information|press and holds H]] all the nodes become visible. The small white dots are possibilities to connect other roads to, footpaths or place road signs.

Removing nodes is only possible on roads of the same type. Removing nodes is a two step trick:
Removing nodes is only possible on roads of the same type. Removing nodes is a two-step process:
*Place a waypoint on the node
*Place a waypoint on the node
*Remove the waypoint
*Remove the waypoint


There is an exception for footpaths connected to a road. The waypoint can be deleted for the footpath/road connection if the road is of the same type. Use the same two step trick as before.

There are two ways of simulating traffic: ''[[Traffic_simulation#Simple|Simple]]'' or ''[[Traffic_simulation#Complex|complex]]''. The simple traffic system is a system based on "first come first served", while the complex traffic system is a system based on "Priority to the right" or "Rule of right hand".

Background

A road is an identifiable route, way, or path for the passage of people, vehicles, or animals between two or more places. Roads are typically smoothed, paved, or otherwise prepared to allow easy travel, although they need not be. Historically, many roads were simply recognizable routes without any formal construction or maintenance. Roads that pass through a city, town, or village are often known as streets.

When there is an obstacle (such as a body of water, valley, road, or rail) in the way of a road, a bridge can be used. A bridge is a structure built to span a physical obstacle without blocking the way underneath. On the other hand, there are tunnels. Tunnels are civil engineering structures that create an underground passage that may pass through a hill, under buildings or roads, underwater or even under entire cities.

Gameplay

In Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic the player has the ability to use roads, bridges and tunnels. When developing a world or expansion in a world, it's wise to begin with mud roads. Mud roads can be used for planning roads within cities, interconnecting cities, and connecting to a border house. Mud roads can be upgraded to gravel, asphalt, and even roads with lights.

Bridges are also available in the game for crossing a valley or river. Bridges can be built from wooden Boards Boards, Bricks Bricks, Prefab panels Prefab panels, Concrete Concrete or Steel Steel as their main component. Tunnels can be dug through hills and mountains.

Roads can be connected to other roads, no matter what type of road it is. Each type of road has its own limitations regarding speed. The advantage of street lighting is that vehicles can also drive at a higher speed at night compared to the same vehicle on the same type of road without street lighting.

Rain

Rain seems to affect only mud roads, but has a devastating effect of reducing the max. speed to just 8 km/h. If the mud road is used more than occasionally, consider upgrading it to a gravel road to nullify the rain debuff.

Snow

If roads remain unplowed, their max. speed is reduced to ~35% of their default value. The exact values are:

Mud road 12 km/h
Gravel road 21 km/h
Panel road 28 km/h
Asphalt road 38 km/h

Segments and nodes

Explanation of segment and node.

Segment

A segment is a part of a road or rail track, without any interruption. The part just goes from A to B and doesn't have any crossing or junction. In the image above there is an example road infrastructure. Every segment of road has been given a number. Each number represents a segment of road. In this picture there are a total of 15 segments.

If for example a new road connects in the middle of segment 3, then segment 3 will be split into two separate segments and the new road becomes a new segment.

Node

A node marks the beginning of a segment and another node marks the end of a segment. So a segment always has two nodes. In the image above the nodes are marked as purple dots on the end of roads and on interconnections between roads. When interconnecting pieces of segments, the segments start sharing nodes.

When the player presses and holds H all the nodes become visible. The small white dots mark where other roads or footpaths can be connected, or where road signs can be placed.

Remove node

Removing nodes is only possible on roads of the same type. Removing nodes is a two-step process:

  • Place a waypoint on the node
  • Remove the waypoint

There is an exception for footpaths connected to a road. The waypoint can be deleted for the footpath/road connection if the road is of the same type. Use the same two-step process as before.

Traffic signs

Main article: Traffic simulation

There are two ways of simulating traffic: simple or complex. The simple traffic system is a system based on "first come first served", while the complex traffic system is a system based on "Priority to the right" or "Rule of right hand".

Traffic signs are available in the complex traffic simulation game settings.

For passengers

Buildings for buses, trolleys, and trams[2] that handle passenger traffic.

Background

A bus platform is the point where a bus route starts or ends, where vehicles stop, turn or reverse, and wait before departing on their return journeys. It’s also where passengers board and alight from vehicles.

A bus, trolley, or tram stop is a place designated for a bus, trolleybus, or tram to stop so passengers can board or alight from it.

Gameplay

These buildings can be placed in the world connected to roads for buses, trolleybuses, or trams. At these buildings citizens can take the bus, trolleybus or tram to their destination or vice versa leave the bus, trolleybus or tram to go to work on foot or continue their journey by using a metro or train. Connect buildings with roads and footpaths so that citizens can reach a platform or stop.

Parking
