Things like maximum degree of arc, width, accelleration/decelleration lane lengths (although that is one of the things I'll be varying in my simulation). /* End of text from m.cs.uiuc.edu:comp.sys.amiga */ Try calling your local highway department. I'll bet they have a notebook listing such things. From working for the local Soil Conservation Service office I know they have manuals for designing culverts, bridges, road beds, etc. Sort of fun browsing; I never imagined that someone would go to the trouble of writing a manual for such mundane things, or that it would be so thick!
