Questions to consider: How do you deal with railroad crossings? If the train is coming, the cars have to stop, but in a conveyor-belt system ALL the cars would stop, everywhere. Not realistic. How do you deal with intersections? Again, if one direction has a red light, ALL the cars on that road would stop, not just the ones at the light. No traffic light means endless collisions. How do you deal with the wear from running those cars on the roadway surface? It would take long before friction created an unrealistic scrape if a magnet touched the road; not a problem if the wheels roll and support the cars. Would it not be distracting for just some of the cars to move while others on un-powered roadways sat still? Just some idears.
