There are lots of roads out there, but in my experience they are all suited to American or European layouts. This is the first one I've seen made to represent British streets, and it comes at a great price.
The roads themselves are nicely textured, and look like they've seen a lot of use. Sadly this attention to detail doesn't carry across to the pavements, which are a simple grey with black lines to represent paving slabs. Adequate, but rather bland to look at.
As with the previous reviewer, I would have liked to see something that could be used for older roads, the yellow markings being a touch too modern to represent my preferred period, the 60's and 70's. That's a minor quibble though. This product was meant to support the publisher's own game, and I'm glad it can be used for others set in Britain.
The latest update, adding a crossroad and traffic cones, just adds to the value.
Overall: Lack of detail on the pavements and relative modernity do not significantly detract from this very reasonably priced road set.
