Road Mark is a road classification system used in Ihazon. Roads are ranked on a numerical scale where each Mark require certain qualities to be fulfilled. As a result, a road's Mark is effectively the quality of a given road.
Official Marks
Mark 1: Motorway
A dual carriageway where entrance/exit is only permitted through dedicated on and off ramps. Typical features are wide road shoulders and 4 lanes or more. Motorways are designed for speeds between 70 and 90 mph.
Motorways are very sophisticated roads designed to handle large amounts of traffic over long distances. However, they are expensive and extremely space consuming to build, making them rare outside of very heavily populated areas.
Examples of motorways are SV2 and SV3.
Mark 2: Avenue
A dual carriageway with street-level crossings. May have dedicated turning lanes but will not have dedicated on and off ramps. Avenues tend to have narrow road shoulders if any at all to cut down on space and are typically designed for speeds of 50 to 70 mph.
Avenues, also referred to as boulevards and broadways, are high-capacity urban roads that act as central carriageways through cities. Despite being efficient traffic vessels, they are widely disliked for being difficult to traverse, taking large amounts of space and noise pollution.
Mark 3: Road
A single carriageway with marked lanes. Can have several lanes, including dedicated turning lanes, but will not have a physical separation from ongoing traffic unlike dual carriageways. Vary greatly in quality, with speeds from 40 to 80 mph.
Roads, also referred to as streets in some places, are usually carriageway of somewhat importance. Normally roads have clear pathways and destinations, meaning they are often used to get efficiently through cities if there are no avenues available.
Mark 4: Street
A single unmarked carriageway. Does not inhibit lanes, but may vary greatly in width. Designed for speeds below 50 mph.
Streets are the most common form of Road Mark, making up the majority of road infrastructure. Streets tend to snake through urban environments without any clear destination, and are often, but not always, narrow. In many cities, streets allow for cars to park alongside its edges.
Mark 5: Lane
A single unmarked carriageway. Is distinguished from a street in that its width allow in most circumstances for only one car. Rarely exhibit speeds above 30 mph.
Lanes are common in suburban areas, where access roads have no need to be wide or amass a lot of traffic.
