Land on both sides of a road? Can you put a sign/bridge across it?

I am looking at two parcels that are reasonably priced and are on opposite sides of a too be build road (like that could take years). If I own both parcels, can I build a bridge or a sign across the road if the prims are all anchored on my land so that they are not solely on the road?????

I have a future highway bordering my land and I have explored it along its length in both directions.

At one point there is a bridge across it between buildings on either side. I wondered at the time how this came to be.

Perhaps one needs to get permission from Governor Linden or one of his representatives as these protected corridors tend to be no-build.

I was thinking that if the prims are not totally on the protected land, then it is like a tree branch hanging over...... the prims are all on my land but just hang over the protected land. I just bought the parcels so I am going to try it and see what happens. I will let you know.

Wow, I was thinking the same exact thing about those two parcels, but decided against buying the two together. Yes, you can have them overhang the road technically, by having the center of mass (where the arrows are) on your own land. So, you could make a bridge with two sides, one on each parcel. Whether or not the Lindens get uptight about it is another story

Hey Amimom, thanks for taking care of the transfer situation!!!

OK, I tried it but kept getting autoreturned. I even tried a giant single prim arch. No luck.

I will keep playing around with it but I don't think it will work. I can't come up with a way for the bulk of the prim's mass to be on my parcel and not the road. Even the giant prim didn't work. Oh well, I didn't think it would work.

I am putting shops on both sides of the road since I have 2 businesses. I will just have to post big "Just across the street" signs and put a teleport in for the lazy....LOL.

Amimom, you gave me an idea. If I made 2 bridge halves and had the root prim on each parcel and only child prims overhanging, it might work.

contact support, e-mail and IM lindens asking for permission to build a bridge. They've given permission before as I've seen some very nice bridges extending across linden owned channels.

I have a current land setup, liek this might be interested in selling. Just over 14k sq m

im with offers.

In one parcel that I have a home in, we have several lovely bridges that cross Linden waterways. The trick is that the root prim for the bridge has to be in your parcel. If it is, and as long as the bridge does not block the use of the road or waterway, you can do it.

If you built a bridge across a Linden road at pavement level, blocking the road, someone would surely complain, and eventually have it removed. Ditto for building a causeway at the water line across a river, actually blocking water traffic. But if the root prim is on your land, it won't auto-return.

The Centre point of the prim extending over the land MUST be over your land, so a standard Ten Meter long prim could only extend a Fraction under Five meters over the other land. a bridge would be Impossible IF the road way was more than ten meters wide.

However:

There are now Giant Prims. You May be able to construct that bridge using Giant prims and still keep the Centre points of the two Bridge halves Over your land. Try to keep the Giant prims as small as possible as thet seem to cause some Lag the Bigger they get.

Only if you are talking about a single, un-linked prim. This limit only applies to the root prim of the linkset, when talking about linked prims that overhang someone else's parcel. I built a 30M long bridge once that crossed diagonally between two parcels owened by my client, and the center of which passed over an unused corner of a neighbor's parcel. There were plenty of prims in the center span that were entirely over the other fellow's land, but the linkset was anchored firmly in my client's land. And as far as I could tell, my client was the only one who had to deal with the prim count from the build. It had no reported negative impact on the neighbor's prim count.

My parcel is in front of protected land and then the sea. Does this mean I can extend towards the sea as long as I'm not blocking anyone and LL deems my effort to be worthy?

I used to have this same sort of setup, but it was protected stretch of water I built a bridge over.

The ROOT prims need to be on your land in the linked set, no way around that or it'll get returned.

To get around the issue of blocking the waterway, or in your case the road, I made it a drawbridge with a simple door script. Click on it and both sides lowered for a couple minutes ... enough time to cross over, and then rise out of the way.

Moving items don't get returned from Linden Land. Have your bridge move slightly - like a swaying rope bridge. My car got away from me and was spinning in the Linden street for 3 days.

If you read a Little more carefully you will not i WAS discussing a single Prim, and not Linked objects. All of the Language used specified the Singular.
