# MetaMoto.fun: Printable Road Tile 001

Create a realistic, top-down, 2D printable road section for Hot Wheels and Matchbox toy cars.

## Paper and Scale
- Paper: US Letter, 8.5 × 11 inches
- Orientation: Portrait
- Resolution: 2550 × 3300 pixels at 300 DPI
- Physical scale: Approximately 1:64
- All measurements must remain accurate when printed at 100% size.

## Road Design
- Road type: Straight, two-way residential street
- Road width: 4 inches total
- Each driving lane: 2 inches wide
- Road length: 11 inches
- Center divider: Dashed yellow line
- Outer road edges: Solid white lines
- Asphalt: Realistic dark gray texture
- Road must extend to the top and bottom edges of the page so additional printed road tiles can connect seamlessly.

## Layout
- Center the road horizontally on the paper.
- Include sidewalks and grass along both sides.
- Use subtle asphalt details, but keep the surface clean enough for children to drive toy cars.
- No perspective, shadows, buildings, vehicles, or 3D objects.
- Everything must be viewed directly from above at a perfect 90-degree angle.

## Printing Requirements
- Produce a print-ready PDF with exact physical dimensions.
- Do not resize or stretch the artwork.
- Include a 1-inch calibration square outside the road.
- Keep road markings aligned so multiple pages connect.
- Use borderless printing or provide an alternate version with trim marks.
- Print at Actual Size / 100%, never Fit to Page.

## Design Goal
The finished paper should function as one modular piece of a larger MetaMoto city. Children should be able to place Hot Wheels cars directly on the printed road and connect multiple pages to build a neighborhood.

**Important:** The 2-inch lane width is a play-friendly dimension, slightly wider than a typical real-world residential lane at exact 1:64 scale. Preserve these dimensions consistently across all MetaMoto road tiles.
