Short answer: probably not — 40-block-wide lanes are way larger than you need. Use a smaller, consistent scale so the highway and bridges look functional and don’t waste materials.
Guidelines and quick options
- Realistic/compact (good for survival and believable builds)
- Lane width: 3 blocks per lane
- Median: 1–2 blocks
- Sidewalks: 2 blocks each side
- Example 4-lane road (2 lanes each direction): 3×4 + 2 (median) + 2×2 (sidewalks) = ~20–22 blocks total — so a 20-block bridge fits this style.
- Stylized / kid-friendly / Paw Patrol look
- Lane: 4–6 blocks
- Median: 2–3 blocks
- Sidewalks: 2–3 blocks
- Example 4-lane: ~28–36 blocks total — wider, brighter, playful.
- Oversized / dramatic (buildings or massive vehicles)
- Lane: 8–10+ blocks
- Use only if you want a giant, cartoony highway; resource-heavy.
Practical tips
- Make bridges match the road width plus a small buffer (1–3 blocks) for railings or walkways.
- Mark lanes with yellow/white concrete, carpets, or slabs for smooth visuals.
- Use slabs/stairs for ramps so the slope looks good and mobs/players can walk easily.
- Guardrails: fences, iron bars, or walls; add lampposts (end rods, sea lanterns) for lighting.
- Supports: spaced arches or pillars every 8–16 blocks to make bridges look believable.
- If it’s for multiplayer or vehicle builds, test by walking/using minecarts to ensure the scale feels right.
- For a Paw Patrol theme: bright concrete colors, signs/banners with symbols, lookout platforms for characters.
Recommendation
- If you want a realistic but still roomy Paw Patrol highway, make the bridge about 20–28 blocks wide (4 lanes, sidewalks, median). Only go up to 40 blocks wide if you intentionally want a giant, stylized highway.
Want a simple blueprint (block-by-block cross-section) for a 20-block or 30-block road/bridge? I can draw one out. Which style and how many lanes do you want?
