one possible reason to have it seperate is that you could use the piece for
esthetic reasons. You could simulate an entry down or up, and stop at that
section. Having a stop-go right before makes this single ramp segment functional
(so actually not purely for looks), as it is needed to contain the first car.
Thus, I'd like to have the ability to only use 1 piece of the ramp. However,
this is not a very big must-have.
