Another great set!   It works very well.

I do have question though concerning roads.  I have noticed this in your other sets as well, so I just want to check if it is something other vendors are mishandling or not.

When I see roads in a set, I tend to put vehicles on them.  I have noticed that the lanes in your set appear to be way to narrow, forcing me to scale the vehicle down.  Unfortunately, that means now I have a vehicle that characters can't get into because of size. 

I do not know how wide the lanes are in your sets, but in the US the minimum lane width is 10 ft, and is typically 12 ft.  I realize your sets have roads that have parking spaces in them.  Without those parking spaces, it would work OK.  With a parking space I would imagine each lane would be around 20 ft, typically.  8 feet for the parking space, and 12 ft for the lane.

I realize I'm a little anal with this, but I am trying to get as realistic a scene as possible. 

It does look very good though!  Can't wait for block 2.
