Lane-based roads
Each road has its own cross-section: 10 lane types, per-lane width, direction and height, 11 marking styles. Junctions, curbs and markings are generated from it and rebuilt while you drag.
Roads and cross-sectionsRoad network editor for lane-level simulation and 3D maps
Roads built from per-lane cross-sections, with junctions, roundabouts, signs, terrain and water generated around them. Exports schema-valid OpenDRIVE 1.6 and OpenSCENARIO 1.2 for driving simulators, and glTF 2.0, OBJ and heightmaps for 3D engines.

Overview
What Metromake does
Roads are defined lane by lane. Junctions, markings and signs are derived from the lanes, and the result is exported to simulation and 3D formats.
OpenDRIVE and OpenSCENARIO export
OpenDRIVE 1.6 with lane-level junctions, validated against the ASAM schema. OpenSCENARIO 1.2 scenarios from 16 templates that run in esmini.
The OpenDRIVE exportOpenStreetMap import
Imports an OpenStreetMap area with lanes, one-way streets, roundabouts, signals and speed limits. The result is an ordinary, editable map.
OpenStreetMap to OpenDRIVEIn the editor
Junctions and lanes, edited live
Screen recordings and screenshots from Metromake 0.9.0.
- 01Junction controls
Pick a control in the Inspector: priority, traffic signals, all-way stop, give way or roundabout. Stop lines, crosswalks, signals and the roundabout ring are rebuilt with each click.
- 02Movements and conflict points
A selected junction shows every lane connection and conflict point on the map. This one has 4 approaches, 14 lane connections, and 24 crossing, 10 merging and 10 diverging conflicts.
- 03Junction Editor
One junction in plan: its approaches, signals and lane connections, turn by turn. Connect lanes by hand where the automatic result is not what you want.
- 04Cross-section
Select a road and edit its lanes: type, width, direction and the line on each side. The road, its markings and the junctions at both ends rebuild as you edit.
- 05Linework view
The same junction in the Linework look: a fast schematic of lanes, curbs, crosswalks, arrows and signals.
01 / 05
01 — Lanes
Roads are defined by their cross-section
Pick lane types, set widths, directions and heights, and choose the line on each side. Raised lanes get curbs. Road-level lanes flow into the junction surface.
- Driving, parking, bus, bike, shoulder, hatched, median, sidewalk, verge, barrier
- Curbs, markings, crosswalks, bridges and street lights generated from the cross-section
- Tapers where roads with different profiles meet
02 — Simulation export
How the OpenDRIVE export is validated
Each exported file is validated against the official ASAM schemas and read back by an independent parser.
- OpenDRIVE 1.6 validates against the ASAM schema
- OpenSCENARIO 1.2 validates against its schema; scenarios run in esmini, vehicles stay on the road network
- Reference lines within 2 cm of the drawn road
- Junction connecting roads meet their roads within 2 cm with continuous heading
Use cases
Simulation and 3D content
For simulation
ADAS, autonomous driving, research, driver training
Test maps in OpenDRIVE without hand-edited XML. Lane-level junctions, roundabouts, elevation, programmed traffic signals and georeference, plus ready-to-run OpenSCENARIO and perception ground truth.
For simulationFor games and 3D
Unity, Unreal, Godot, Blender
Custom cross-sections, smooth junctions, terrain and water in one standalone tool. Export glTF, OBJ and heightmaps and import them into any engine.

Plain files
Maps are stored as plain JSON. Exports may be used commercially.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which OpenDRIVE version does Metromake export?
OpenDRIVE 1.6, validated against the ASAM schema.
Can I use my exported maps commercially?
Yes. The road assets are CC0 and the exports are yours. Maps imported from OpenStreetMap must credit OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL).
Does it work offline?
Yes. Activating it needs the internet once per computer; after that it works fully offline, with no account. During early access it sends usage statistics and crash reports (never your maps); the full release asks first.
What is early access?
Metromake 0.9 for macOS and Windows, before the full release: free with an early-access key, which you can request on the download page. Expect rough edges, and tell us about them.
Can I import existing OpenDRIVE files?
Yes; roads come back with their lanes and signs, and junctions are rebuilt.
Which platforms does it run on?
macOS 12 or later (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows 10/11 (x64).
What file format are maps saved in?
Plain JSON.
Availability
Early access
Metromake 0.9.0 is in early access for macOS and Windows: download it, activate it with a free early-access key, and tell us what to improve. Team licences and academic use are available on request.
