Nippia Department of Transportation
The Nippia Department of Transportation is a provincial government agency of Nippia, a province of the City-State of Kitania, which is responsible for any transportation in Nippia not managed by the federal government under the Kitania Transit Authority or by the provincial government in association with Liten under the Port Authority of Nippia & Liten.
The Department of Transportation is responsible for maintaining Nippia's roads, sidewalks, and pathways, but does not operate public transportation, as this is the responsibility of the Kitania Transit Authority.
Road Standards
The Nippia Department of Transportation sets the standards for roads and highways in Nippia.
There are two main types of roads in Nippia: standard roads and limited access highways.
Standard Roads
Standard roads are the surface streets of Nippia.
- Signage: Standard roads are designated with a common system of street signage. Each intersection has signs designating each street. At any given intersection, the sign displayed to the drivers of one street will display the name of the street, whether it is one-way or two-way (including the direction if one-way), and any other relevant info. The sign is four blocks above the ground and usually consists of two green blocks of wool with two signs, hoisted up by nether fence.
- Street Names: The street name displayed on the sign above a road at an intersection will always be that of the road it intersects. For example, at the intersection of Key Boulevard and Parker Street, the street signs displayed to the drivers of Key Boulevard will say "Parker Street". This is displayed on the first sign.
- Direction: The second sign displays the direction the road travels. "<===>" is shown for two-way streets, and "<===" and "===>" are shown for one-way streets, depending on the direction. This does not necessarily indicate the direction you can travel. For example, if a two-way street comes to an end, there will only be one direction to turn onto it, but the sign will still display "<===>". Also, for a one-way street, for example, if the street ends at a left turn from the street you are on, but is going in the direction to the right, the sign will still display "===>", although drivers will be unable to turn at the intersection onto the street.
