Tiles query:

[Jambo]

Hi all,

I have a question on this tile, and other tiles which have small bushes on roads. Do the bushes stop the roads, or in the case of this tile, does the road continue in three directions?

Cheers

The bushes end the road(s). All junctions and crossings are ends of roads, and the graphics have occasionally be updated to make that clearer:


The only exception is that crazy tile from Abbey and Mayor:

This is a tile with a single road leading off in three directions, and it is a real pain to score.

That picture actually brings me nicely along to my second query. Can one score a single point on that updated tile for placing a meeple on either of the extremely short road segments which lead to the cities?

No.

The point of the tile was simply to create a crossing, although with the original people weren't quite clear enough about that. The second version is meant to bring the long segments to a end in the middle, whilst obscuring the short 'roads' almost completely.

I'm sure there was and FAQ about this somewhere…
