Transportation in Mirani

Road
Mirani has a relatively small highway network, connecting the major cities or Crestview, Ferston and Seatown. It goes through many regional centres, used mostly by trucks. At it's widest, it is 2 lanes wide both ways and a service (emergency stopping lane). The right lane is, by law, only used for overtaking purposes or if there is heavy traffic, the service lane is used if a vehicle needs to stop, so it is out of the way of flowing traffic. This highway is called MN1 (Mirani Network one). The road network is very large, many islands have very well developed road networks, improving transportation throughout the region. Main roads splinter off the MN1, which link smaller towns and villages to the highway network.

Rail
The rail network is much larger than the highway and road network, it is more efficient in bringing in goods across the country and links Crestview, Fernston and Seatown, and may more small towns on the big island. It is mainly used for industrial trains, but more and more public trains. Crestview is the only city to have a large train network, linking all the major suburbs to the CBD and connects to the bridge to the big island, where people will switch trains and go on a different, faster train that connects all large regional cities, including Seatown and Fernston to the capital.
