Hello Fabianfred, I have used the tarmac highways for the road that goes down the coast and along the rivers.

This may not be correct for the period as I've read Vietnam was 80% jungle then, but I figured the European colonists would have built decent roads at least along the coast to link all the major ports and population centres. I will use the country tracks for any roads across country though.

Maybe the ones along the rivers would be better as country tracks, thoughts anyone?

Why not download the WIP Fabianfred and let me know what you think, after all it's your map that started me along this path in the first place. I would welcome any thoughs, critical or otherwise.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

I think river and rail met the needs of colonists in Indochina. Just looked through a bunch of USAAF strike photos from attacks on the transportation network in French Indochina and don't see any evidence of tarmac highways. Most of the targets are rail bridges and yards, coastal/river traffic and an occasional road bridge. The few road bridges appeared to be fed by dirt/crushed rock roads. Example of coastal transportation network, Dap Cau (rail bridge in background):
