Open Road

The Open Road (or the Open Road Zones) was the name designated to refer to the major roads in and around Del Coronado Bay during the Time of the Red.

Overview
After the Fourth Corporate War, the Open Road was the home of roving gangs on spiky cars and motorcycles, well-defended nomad caravans, and those few who had to transverse them. These roads and highways were littered in some areas with dead, burned-out vehicles and dust, but were still open and usable, and little by little they were resembling more Route 66 than the Mad Max highways. All this due to the nomad families taking greater control of the world's commerce and shipping, and thanks to their surplus in military hardware, it was easier for them to drive out the gangs and make the roads safer for travel.

The Night City Council considered these areas to have a threat level of "Outskirts", which basically meant it was outside of the city's jurisdiction, therefore the only valid laws out here were the ones you made for yourself, except for those places controlled by the nomad families.
