Rings & Things: Ring Roads
On the Changed Earth, where magic has returned and exists alongside technology, every municipality is surrounded by a Ring Road that not only sets the city boundaries, but keeps out hostile creatures and sentients both human and otherwise. In California, Ring Roads keep out many creatures, but especially the California Grizzly Bear, males of which can be half again larger than Polar Bears. Australia, they keep out Bunyips and other creatures from Aboriginal legend.
Due to the drastic reduction of automobiles on Changed Earth, most Ring Roads are only two lanes wide. The most frequent motor traffic are the Anibuss (Catbuses, Dogbuses, Bunnybuses) and electric motorcycles.
Ring Roads are never black or dark gray, like ordinary roads. Instead, they are sandy colored, light gray, light blue and various shades of brown.
