You're right. I have about 200 of the older grey road plates (the 1980's ones
without the sidwalk/bikepath. They really are better suited to the classic
scale LEGO town. Interestingly enough, the roadway width is about the same as
the 1960's cardboard Town Plan Board (#246 in USA/Canada (Samsonite), or #200
in Europe) which also came in set #725 (Town Plan). So the current minifig
scale roadway has basically the same width as the 1960's classic scale
roadway. Interesting.
