    Maybe this has already been tried before, but why isn't there street signs or road signs for the road/street you are on and the direction you are going? I think it would be extremely helpful, especially in large towns when you are trying to find your plot from town spawn, or describing locations of new plots or town resources instead of the coordinates.

    In most places road signs already exist between towns, especially on highways built by me, which include the road's route number and name. For street signs within towns it is up to the mayor whether to put them in or not, same with mailboxes and street addresses. Regarding going to your plot from town spawn, just do /plot list, then /plot navigate id to find your plot, most large towns have warps in residential areas to make the walk shorter.

    Many thanks,

    These road signs have one drawback. You have built all multi-level-split-line-overpass-underpass-crossroads which in real world are supposed to let cars go at constant 50something MPH, but you have built signs that are impossible to read if you arent standing still - imagine the middle of the interstate irl where you are going over 60 MPH and the car in front of you slams the brakes just because the driver needs to stop to read a sign.

    So either drop the idea of freeway-like road system and use just simple roads with no lanes and level crossroads with signposts in the center, or keep the freeway-like road system but think about better signs (town banners, banner letters, etc).

    This seems slightly pointless, I get about with the information that it tells you when you enter a plot and all that. ;)

    This sounds like a pro/con idea. Pro- You know where you are. Con- You are already told by the server in chat.

    That sounds something that would be good to add into the towns.
