The original map was posted in 2019 and kind of outdated. Now here is a revamp of this classic map. (Of course with permission from original author @essej818 , picture below) Polar Expressway（在此斗胆译为“极地快线”）是一张以覆雪的山谷和湿滑路面为特色的地图。原地图在2019年发布，至今已经有点老旧了。现在这里呈现的是这张经典地图的翻新重置版。（经原作者许可） Features 特点 Snow and Ice: I tried to preserve and improve the core of this map. Snow covered valleys, frozen lake, low temperature... 冰雪：此地图的灵魂我尽力保留，并加以深化。环境严寒并为雪覆盖，冰封的湖面、纷飞的大雪…… Wet and Slippery Asphalt: Revamp extended the roads much and will continue. Snow and Ice made the asphalt roads extremely slippery. Winding mountain roads with upgrades and downgrades make your drive (especially with AI traffic) even more dangerous. 湿滑路面：重置版添加了很多新路，而且会继续拓展。冰雪导致路面极其湿滑，蜿蜒的山路和下坡让驾驶（尤其是带着交通流）更加危险。 Highway and Tunnels: A new highway surrounds most part of the map with tunnels going through the mountains. There are snowslides and construction along the way, so do not drive too fast. 高速路、隧道：新建的高速路环绕地图的大部分区域，隧道穿山而过。不要开太快，沿途有雪崩施工。 Towns: Two small towns lie in the mountains, welcoming whoever needs a rest. 小镇：两个小镇坐落在群山中，给过路人提供栖息之处。 Supply Station: Completely redone, with clutters placed carefully trying to give a real feel. 供给站：完全重做，仔细布景，努力创造真实感。 Railway: Not extended, just graphical improved. Maybe only suitable for photo. 铁路：没有延长，只是视觉上改善了些，可能只适合用来拍照。 More... 更多…… Pictures and Videos 图片与视频Trailer (watch on Bilibili): https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Ffare4EbK 预告片（B站观看）：https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Ffare4EbK (Pictures to be added 图片待添加) Changelog 更新日志2025.2.19 Dirt roads and new features 1.

You know Polar Expressway is an old map without any updates, and here I made some edit hoping to make this map playable again. Also, I knew more about World Editor through editing. Currently I don’t know much about map making. If I learn more, later I may do more editing to make the map more playable, such as streetlights, more roads, more buildings, etc. Advice about map making is truly appreciated, Thanks. And, have fun!

Messing around with terrain painter today and draw some simple lines of the roads, maybe I will finish these roads later. (Will not have much progress this month due to school work, maybe) Spoiler: 中文 今天摆弄了一下世界编辑器里的Terrain Painter，画了一些简易的道路，或许以后我会把这些路铺设好（学业原因，这个月可能不会有太大进展，可能吧）
Currently don't know how to make the bridges better, but certainly I will try to improve them in the future (along with the guardrails, maybe)
Hi there! Sorry for the absence of progress posting. Actually this project have not been abandoned yet. I'm still learning map making skills and working on this map when I get free time. Now I think an update should be released. I'm going to test the update to check if there are any bugs. If everything goes well, update will be uploaded before September comes. BTW, this project will not be abandoned, but progress may be really slow. So I think I just keep the tag as "On Hold" rather than "WIP Beta Released". Spoiler: 中文 各位好！ 不好意思，一直没有发进度。其实这个项目还没被放弃，在有空的时候我还是会学习些地图制作技巧并做做这个图。现在我感觉得发一个更新了。这两天我测试一下，确保没有bug。不出意外的话这个月底会上传更新。 PS 虽然不会烂尾，但我觉得这个地图进展实在是有点慢。所以标签就暂时还是On Hold吧

So, the sidewalk is "Meshroad" and the snow is "Terrain", so I suggest putting snow on top of the sidewalk(Part It whold be more realistic
Cool , I hope you will be able to release a new version before the end of the year, btw good job there, and you have no reason to rush.
This map looks cool, but please change the thread marker back to WIP from On Hold so more people will notice it. When I saw it was On Hold I clicked it expecting it to be somebody bumping a long-abandoned thread, but I am glad to see that it is actually still being worked on.
Thanks! New version will be released when I feel that new content is enough for an update. Before I was assuming that my progress is too slow to be marked as "WIP". But now I think you are right and I'll change the thread tag back. Anyway thank you for your kind words!
Supply Station redone, mostly finished. Lights, roadmarkings and AI support added too (AI is stupid though XD).
