Traffic Circle

I made this as a Fixed Network Object. Don't know how much need there really is for one of these, but I have wanted to do one for a while now. Thoughts and opinions?

It's cool, but I think the main problem is that people would have to find a road that looks just like that one or else it wouldn't look right.

Think it looks great, perhaps though add an iron gate around my plane and it would really look like a memorial object.

That was just put there as a scenery object and not part of the model.

Thanks for the comments folks, I appreciate it.

Pretty snazzy there Steve. So, this is a network object with traffic ribbons built-in? Or are those invisible traffic ribbons as separate lofts? Looks great.

Can probably attach an airplane there for a version as a child object, about how to use child objects however I have no idea.

John, this was made as a Fixed Network Object, so it has 4 links to extend road beyond and to fill in the center of the circle. No matching of roads is required. The attached image is using roads I made for the MRL.

Ok, so the vehicles are just stationary objects then?

Yes, but one could use a traffic ribbon to put it in action. It's a short process to get it to work how it is in the picture. I did it this way so any road without markings or curbing could be used.
