jesse c297b20aed Disable PA on/off ramps; restore mainline to pre-ramp state 
Three iterations of the Daikoku PA ramps never read as a real
interchange. Measured why, rather than tuning further:

  * the entry and exit decks INTERSECTED -- 2547 sample pairs within
    30 studs horizontally at <12 studs dY, worst case 0.5 studs apart
    at dY=0.0. On screen that is the bowtie tangle of white rails.
  * both real Daikoku ramps turn the SAME way (clockwise; the guide
    video says "right, right"). This build mirrored them into each
    other.
  * the real arc wraps OUTSIDE the lot and forms its north/east
    boundary. This build cut across the apron interior.

Gated behind BUILD_PA_RAMPS=false rather than deleted -- the radius
was already correct (470 studs vs an OSM-measured mean of 469) and
the merge lands tangent at 0.1-0.2 deg divergence. Both worth keeping.

Also removed two leftovers that would have outlived the ramps:

  * rampOpen punched holes in the mainline's outer parapet, railing
    and kill wall for ramps that no longer exist -- a barrier gap with
    a drop behind it. Sealed via RAMP_EDGE_OPENINGS=false. Verified:
    Barrier/EdgeRail/KillWall = 1646 each = 823 samples x 2 edges,
    0 road samples without a guard within 90 studs.
  * gore zebra hatching painted 1024 bars + 64 boundary lines marking
    a junction that is not there. Sealed via RAMP_GORE_MARKINGS=false.

Verified after a cache-busting fresh rebuild (Studio's require() cache
otherwise serves the previous map and reports a false pass):
  parts 22628 -> 15988
  all ramp part classes = 0
  Road = 823 (unchanged), spawn pad + PASpawn intact
  clip probe TRUSTWORTHY (control +11/-0), CLIPPING=0

Daikoku Futo PA — Measured Reference Spec

Source-of-truth numbers for building the Daikoku PA entrance/exit ramps and apron in MapBuilder.luau. Everything here is measured, not estimated: OSM geometry via Overpass (/tmp/osm_daikoku.py), Esri aerial imagery, and frame-sampled onboard video.

Generated 2026-08-03.

1. Scale

Quantity Value
Project scale M = 1/0.28 = 3.571 studs per metre (MapBuilder.luau:69)
Reciprocal 1 stud = 0.28 m
Circuit.STUDS_TO_KM 0.28 / 1000

NOTE: c1_georeference.json records scale_studs_per_meter: 4.3 for the C1 loop georeference. That is a different mapping (real-Tokyo lat/lon → C1 world) with a stated median_error_m: 366. Do not use 4.3 for PA geometry. PA work uses 3.571.

2. The real PA footprint (OSM)

Overpass, bbox 35.4545/139.6700 → 35.4705/139.6935. ENU metres about 35.46246657, 139.68149001 (user's Google Earth point).

OSM way Type Extent (m) Perimeter Name
405966005 highway=rest_area 203 × 227 646 m 大黒PA
59608205 amenity=parking 181 × 174 507 m 大黒ふ頭パーキングエリア
88702527 amenity=parking 102 × 107 359 m (satellite lot, W of main)

Current build: apron is APRON_X = 210*M, APRON_Z = 200*M (MapBuilder.luau:991) = 210 × 200 m. That sits between the parking polygon (181×174) and the rest_area polygon (203×227) — already a good match. The apron extent is not the problem.

The shape is the divergence: the build is an axis-aligned square; the real lot is a rounded wedge bounded on the N/E by the loop ramp arc.

3. Loop ramp radii — MEASURED

Kasa circle fit over each OSM ramp way with |cumulative turn| ≥ 120°. rms = fit residual (low = genuinely circular).

OSM way Length Turn Radius rms Layer Direction
32355896 475 m −272° 70.9 m 14.4 — CW / right
32403901 601 m −217° 147.4 m 1.2 5 CW / right
32592491 729 m +208° 197.4 m 12.7 2 CCW / left
307397558 167 m −178° 27.5 m 9.0 — CW / right
779045459 371 m +161° 123.6 m 0.7 3 CCW / left
32403902 656 m −150° 204.2 m 13.3 3 CW / right
32592481 359 m −146° 120.4 m 12.0 1 CW / right
32592487 488 m −122° 158.8 m 11.3 2 CW / right

Headline numbers

  • Radius range 27.5 – 204 m; mean 131 m = 469 studs
  • The two cleanest circular fits (rms < 1.5) are the true helixes:
    • 32403901 — 147 m (526 studs), 217° of turn, layer 5
    • 779045459 — 124 m (441 studs), 161° of turn, layer 3
  • 6 of 8 curve clockwise (right). Matches the video captions exactly: 右、右と覚えておくとPAに着きます — "remember right, right".

Recommended build values

Ramp Radius (m) Radius (studs) Turn
Main entry helix 147 525 ~220° CW
Secondary helix 124 440 ~160° CCW
Tight connector 71 255 ~270° CW

Current Circuit.PA_RADIUS = 260 studs = 72.8 m — which is almost exactly the tight connector (32355896, 70.9 m). The main helixes are roughly 2× that.

4. Deck layers — the vertical stack

OSM layer tags on bridge ways in the interchange:

Layer Bridge ways Total length
1 11 17,696 m
2 7 5,637 m
3 8 5,368 m
4 10 10,096 m
5 6 1,417 m

Five distinct deck levels. This is the single most important structural fact: Daikoku JCT is a five-level stack, and the PA sits at the bottom of it.

Current Circuit.PA_LIFT = 56 studs (15.7 m) of clearance over the apron — that is one level. A faithful build wants at least 3 visible levels overhead.

Typical Japanese expressway deck-to-deck spacing is ~10–12 m; at 3.571 studs/m that is 36–43 studs per level.

Confirmed visual details

  1. Red/orange chevron shoulder paint on the outer kerb through every ramp curve. Present in all five videos, day and night. Highest-value cheap detail available.
  2. White splayed / V-shaped piers with trapezoidal box-girder deck underside (clearest at yokohane_down t=218–242s).
  3. Chain-link mesh fencing along ramp edges — not solid barrier. Above a low concrete jersey base.
  4. Green route shields 大黒線 K5; blue circular regulatory signs; 50 km/h limit discs on ramps.
  5. /P + up-right arrow gantry marks the parking entry (91suWmNr62c t=104s).
  6. Apron at night: warm sodium pole lighting, white stall lines clearly visible, painted directional arrows, low guardrail perimeter.
  7. Arrival reads as descending into a canyon — decks close in overhead.

6. Gaps / not yet measured

  • Deck heights above ground. OSM layer gives ordering, not elevation. Needs either a DEM lookup or estimation from video pier counts.
  • Third approach route. Confirmed to exist (video states "3 ways"); two are captured in full, the Honmoku run covers the approach only.
  • Exit ramp geometry. All captured footage is entry. Exits not yet sampled.
  • Stall grid angle. Aerial shows a diagonal ~40–45° grid; exact bearing not yet fitted.
