Stress test my layout

@Lewis
1) I figured the pit lane doesn't really need decoration, as I suspect most people would sooner admire the road that has had more work done on it than the pitlane.

2) Good spot Didn't notice that one, think they could be replaced by Banners.

I kept the entrances that wide because I figured it's a 75 mph road and people slowing down lots in the road would be bad. But I can see why it would be a concern that people might enter the parking spaces at a pace, maybe something could be done to improve this.


@Chris
Better to be able to see than not to see and have the chance to look, than not be able to see no?

Marking the corners with bend signs is pretty common practice in a city, with real psychological reasons.

I'll let David Crundall and Geoffrey Underwood from Nottingham University explain this one

Quote:
  
The role of the warning traffic sign is to prepare the driver for a subsequent behavior necessitated by the road layout ahead. By giving the driver advanced notice of a left-bend, a hidden dip or an adverse camber, it is hoped that the motor response required for the appropriate action is facilitated (Traffic Signs Manual 1986, Chapter 4). Without advanced notice of road conditions the driver would have to initiate the appropriate behavior when they first perceive the focus of the hazard, such as a sharp left-bend. This increases the risk of accidents in those situations where the amount of time required to first assess the road conditions and then take appropriate action is greater than the time available before reaching the hazard

That's why I believe bend warning signs are necessary, they're not just there for aesthetics

I tested my layout at about 4am when I was half asleep and found that by putting in the corner markings I was able to react to corners much more safely when I was not thinking on my feet, and as you've probably noticed, most people on [TC] are definitely not thinking on there feet whilst driving, so I believe these prompts will definitely help.

 
Anyone else tried the layout and wants to give some feedback?
