Hi Charles, That's the problem. Having too many cars and trucks on the road would mean that in effect they would drown out the other sounds and that would make it hard to tell weather various cars were near or far. Especially, considering a large truck with a big diesel engine would naturally be louder than a standard car.
The other issue here is putting medians or places between the lanes of traffic would not be true to the original Frogger game. You had to hop and weave your way through traffic which was tricky to do. As Dark pointed out in a prior message often times you would hop to avoid one vehicle only to jump in the path of something else and get smashed. There fore part of the challenge of the game was judging your chances of getting across all the lanes of traffic without running a fowl of traffic coming in either direction. Having a rest spot between might be more accessible, but would over simplify the game. Cheers!
