Hi,

See attached screencap. These banlines are right on the sim border so that when you come across the bridge, you hit the banlines before the bridge can rez, and your car slips through the road and either gets stuck in the struts or plummets to the river below.

I spoke to the owner of the property:
From: someone
Ghoti Nyak: Hi, do you realize your land in Lily with the ban lines is blocking use of the public roads?
Person: Well you should tell the Lindens they make the land lines.
Person: Not me.
Ghoti Nyak: Okay, I'll do that.


So I am telling the Lindens as the land owner requested.

Unless a driver is aware of these lines before hand, they can not avoid them and more often than not end up stuck in the struts below the bridge or in the water. The owner does not appear to care.

Not sure what can be done about this other than the Lindens being MUCH more careful with future land divisions. If people can not manage road access reasonably, maybe those 32m would be better left as Linden Land rather than sold in the first place.

Thanks,

-Ghoti

Hi Ghoti, sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this! I will look into the matter and see if the road cannot be moved - however there is always a chance that they will have to overlap simply as we do not wish to take up more land than necessary to build them. In some places, I realize the road could do with being tugged over a bit, but it's not as simple a process as just dragging the axis points around, obviously! *grins*

At any rate, I wanted to let you know your concern has been heard, and I will be looking into the matter as soon as I possibly can. Thank you.
