So the ramp is for bikes/mobility vehicles, and the stairs for pedestrians?

Is it me, or the M6 bridge looks like it suffered from a major earthquake?

What a completely amazing bridge. I guess it was built using a wood form. I wonder how old it is.

They weren't all on the same job ;D

Plus there's an option in the game that allows you to get tired, so once the little bed icon has turned red and there's been a few yawns you get fined a hundred and fifty Euros if you don't park up and switch off pronto.
