    You should honestly take that road and make a tutorial out of it. I can't tell you how many terrible tutorials there are on youtube for a truly realistic city street. I have yet to master it myself and it would appear you nailed it.

      Yeah, I'm not surprised. Roads and pavements are tough to get right. I've avoided scenes like this for a long time until I could figure it out. I'm actually planning a car chase scene for my next big animation precisely to push this stuff even further.
