The Roads Must Roll - Procedural Streets & Bridges
A new road generator that lets you create detailed streets, bridges and intersections in minutes instead of days.
Everything is procedural and based on curves. Made for Cycles.
Based on curves
With over 150 configurable settings at your fingertips.
Any road you want
A city street, highway, bridge, traffic junction, ... the choice is yours.
14 Procedural Props
From bicycle bridges to traffic lights and road markings, we've got you covered.
Preset intersections
A collection of pre-made intersections, so you can get started right away.
Everything Procedural
Customize every prop with ease—just head to the modifier panel and adjust the settings to your liking.
6 Cars included
Meticulously hand-modeled with performance in mind.
Night time is the right time?
Turn on the lights in the lampposts and the cars with just one click.
Based on the real world
3D models based on the real world simply look much better.
Parking made easy
Choose from six different types of parking strips to park your cars just right.
Performance options
Various performance options for users with less powerful computers:
– Materials Level of Detail
– Trees Level of Detail
– Optional Low Poly Cars
– …
High quality materials
Our materials are ready to render
Animate your cars
Animate cars easily along a curve, using either your collection or ours.
Control speed, spacing, density, and direction to suit your needs.
From 1 to 10 lanes
Choose the number of lanes that fit your project:
Single deck: 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5
Double deck: 2 x 2, 2 x 3, 2 x 4, 2 x 5
Bike lanes
One of the unique features of The Roads Must Roll. On the ground or bridge.
Minutes instead of days
Freeing up more time for the creative aspects of your work.

Made for Cycles
For the moment "The Roads Must Roll" is made to work with Cycles only.
Not all materials seems to work with EEVEE.
Limitations
Converting the road to a mesh or exporting to another software package
While it’s possible to convert the road into a mesh and then export it to other software, there are some limitations at the moment.
Please see the FAQ on the website
Most materials are unlikely to convert successfully to another software package.
Using 'Material Preview' mode in the viewport
Since 'Material Preview' relies on the EEVEE render engine, it’s not supported at this time.
Traffic Simulation
You can easily animate cars along a road or curve, adjusting parameters like density, seed, spacing, and speed.
However, this is not a full traffic simulation, as vehicles do not interact with traffic lights, intersections, or each other.
Custom Lane Width
The lanes are currently set to a fixed width of 3.5 meters (11.48 feet). I'm planning to explore ways to make this adjustable in the future.

What's New?
Version 1.22
27-09-2024
I’ve added the option to generate the white (and yellow) lines on the asphalt as geometry, as an alternative to having them directly in the asphalt material. You can also adjust the height of these lines. This is good news if you want to convert the road to a mesh. See the FAQ on the website.
At the very bottom of the settings in the main road modifier panel, I’ve created a new panel called "Convert to Mesh Preparation" Here, you can check the 'Realize Instances' box. For more details, see the FAQ on the website.
If you've chosen a custom car collection, you can now rotate all the cars simultaneously around their own axes. Car asset collections aren’t always aligned the same way.
You can now also use your own tree collection.
Increasing the subdivision of the road surface now works more effectively.
Version 1.21

Resolved a minor issue where the diagonal bars on the overhead signs were disappearing.
