The Southeast continent does not have roads, and the only protected land is on the outside edges of the continent... but this is not contiguos so we do not have a coherent right of way for travel around the region. I am led to believe that free travel right of way ought to exist from a number of posts by Guy Linden, and Philip Linden seems to say that contiguous regions are a good thing, and the mainland is going to grow a lot. Where is the transportation infrastructre in the SouthEast continent? When will you add the missing void/water sims around the outside edge of the continent?

Guy Linden: Protected land is not for sale. It serves to either protect a landscape or provide a right of way though a region. Protected land may or may not have an actual road, but it is always available to all SL residents to use as an unrestricted travel lane.

The question that was not addressed in thursday's town hall meeting:
In the far southeast continent, you have created a series of islands surrounded by water. However, there is not a continuous ring of protected not-for-sale water sims around this continent, so people boating or flying aircraft contend with security scripts, ban lines and obstructive builds. When will you connect the protected water sims you already have in place, so that we have the infrastructure to use our boats and planes properly? If you want resident-created content and events, you need to provide at least some infrastructure to support us. Give us navigable water, please.
We know that void sims are much much less expensive to provide than regular sims. Linden Labs left out the roads and other transportation infrastructure in the southeast continent. Can you provide at least a ring of navigable water to an area with land designed specifically to appeal to a marine/boating community? This issue applies to the other mainland continents as well, but the need is acute in the southeast continent, as the formerly open water gets clogged with builds, ban lines, and security scripts...and we don't have any roads. The payoff is the greatest here too, since a few more void sims will make it possible to navigate around the continent independent of the whims of specific landowners.
Specifics:
1.) Link protected water Daebeom-Pulsori with Byeolgwadal-Garam-Nana by putting one sim east of Danbi
2.) link the existing protected water sims Daebeom-Pulsori to Haneulgil, with a one sim east of Haneulgil
3.) Link protected water in Cheongdam-Jilseo-Sandeulbaram-Banpo-Tal-Jinju-Dongbaekmaeul-Neulchan-Daseuri with Haengbok by putting one sim west of Haengbok and one north of Cheongdam
Steps 1-3 use 4 void sims to consolidate the existing navigable water on the east and west side of the continent. These two areas can be links by adding 7 protected water sims: north of Haengbok, west of Sanchon, north of Haneulgil, north and northeast of Yongchon, north and northwest of Sanchon.
