I believe it is quite a simple stack of horizontal lines, roughly like this:

straight
................,        ,......................
...............,          ,.....................
..............,            ,....................
.............,              ,...................
............,                ,..................

turn
....................,           ,...............
.................,            ,.................
..............,             ,...................
............,               ,...................
............,                  ,................

Manipulate the horizontal graphics positions according to some formula that you will have to work out yourself,
draw sprites on top of that.

Hi,

unfortunately this solution not work  impossible draw curves not angular

some idea?

help me, please 

[Karmington]

perhaps show some of your tests, screenshots or code and we could help you more

[vincenzo.maltese]

the results:

----------------------------------------------horizon
-------             carriageway_left
---------
----------
-----------        point_of_curve
----------
---------
--------

the code:

Graphics2D g2 =...// graphics contex

int width = screen.width;
int horizon = width / 4;
int point_of_curve = width / 2;
int carriageway_left = (width / 8 )*3;
                  
for(int x = 0; x < horizon; x++)
   g2.drawLine(0, carriageway_left+x, horizon+x, carriageway_left+x);
     
for(int y = 0; y < horizon; y++)
   g2.drawLine(0, (carriageway_left+horizon)+y, point_of_curve-y, (carriageway_left+horizon)+y);

 
some idea?
