* BrokenBridge: Most of the new areas are completely blocked off in the open world, only being accessible during specific races.
** Fillmore's nature preserve is blocked off with signs, and Sarge's boot camp is closed on both ends.
** The turkey is also blocked off with signs, and Sarge's tunnels are closed off.
** In Tailfin Pass, the mining town seems to take place in an entirely separate area inaccessible from the main map, while the canyon route (and by extension, most of Tailfin Pass from the original game) is blocked off by a closed door.
