Double Decker system, lower deck for road vehicles, upper deck for trains. Still a ton of work to do, but I really enjoy the result so far. I only have the one screenshot now, and some progress pics while I worked on the blueprints (not the finalized design), but I'm on mobile, maybe I'll share some more later.

Edit: Adding linked screenshots! These are all on my test configuration while working in the blueprinter.

At night, with added rail!

Love it. Great look.

I haven't actually BUILT out any real roads yet, but my wife and I are planning to, and were doing some blueprinting and planning. We had a lot of trouble trying to build figure out inclines. Is that something you had trouble with as well?

I appreciate it!

I'm still very much in the placing pieces as I go phase, and haven't had to deal with many inclines. However, I am aware that vehicles can handle the 2m slopes and not the 4m slopes. As long as I approach any height difference with that in mind, my slope blueprints will clear. I'm also giving myself plenty of ground clearance and will place my supports under the road to appropriately blend. Then it doesn't much matter if I'm a little higher up off the ground, but would generally like to keep it at around power tower height unless needed for the incline's sake.

I also have bottom and top slope transition blueprints as well as slopes. I can use beams from there to gauge my distances to start or properly position the slopes direction.
