I've got about 8 different of the early grey roadplates that have islands and
other "forks in the road". These are of the type without bikepaths/sidewalks.
They came in 1980's racer, fire stations, police stations, public works sets,
etc. When you add the number of 1990's type roadplates (with the islands/forks),
I'm sure we're talking at least 30 different road designs/patterns/marking colors,
etc in all the different road plates. Too numerous to mention them all.
