A highway is a 2-3 tile wide paved road that leads between two or more deeds. Single paved roads that are paved on the edge with gravel also count as a highway.
  
The sand functions to keep trees from growing directly next to the highway as to increase the visibility against threats. Higher quality highways can be painstakingly terraformed. Some highways can be found to be paved with much more time-intensive [[stone slabs]].

Official protected highways use a marker per tile corner which will protect all 4 tiles around it. Most of these markers are called [[Catseye|Catseyes]], with a second type called a [[Waystone]], which is used primarily at junctions, e.g. where roads meet or as a terminus (on deed).

Description

A highway is a 2-3 tile wide paved road that leads between two or more deeds. Single paved roads that are paved on the edge with gravel also count as a highway.

Official protected highways use a marker per tile corner which will protect all 4 tiles around it. Most of these markers are called Catseyes, with a second type called a Waystone, which is used primarily at junctions, e.g. where roads meet or as a terminus (on deed).
