Ever since I first played this game I've been waiting for a track with actual traffic similar to N64 Toad's Turnpike, where players must dodge the cars (and in reverse mode, the cars come towards you). I'm assuming the reason this hasn't happened yet is because of limitations with the game's engine? Can it not display that many moving vehicles?
It can, and a couple of add-ons do. Voxel Village does, LM Track has a small section with a moving car and Black Forest has a moving train. The game allows you to animate an object like that and for that object to crash your kart. I think it's more that not many artists made tracks that required them or thought about adding them.
An urban track would be nice for a change, I always loved the atmosphere created by City Lights and some of it's street-circuit dynamics.
Imagine City Lights or Beam Runner with outstanding graphics and several moving cars as obstacles that the player must constantly avoid. City Lights in reverse mode would become one of the hardest tracks ever created, and Beam Runner wouldn't be one of the top 5 easiest addons tracks.
