Fonts clash too much, and I'm not sure what the red splotches are for. You don't need them.

ya all the fonts clash to much.

and it is almost always a rule of them to never use just totally plain white. and the effect you were going for with text on the road doesnt work. concrete does not have any reflective properties.

I like the image though. did you take it?

It's just that bottom text that I don't like -- you're using three different style for three different fonts: serif, sans-serif, and stylescript. You should only use two out of the three at most, in that order. If you're not sure what these terms mean look here

naw just fix the perspective and make the color an off white to off white gradient. then add like a concrete texture overlay.

If you really want that reflection, make it look like it's raining and add puddles on the road and have the letters reflect off of that. That's a bit complicated though. I'd just stick with a shadow or something.

Make sure if you do a reflection/shadow, the perspective is correct. It looks stupid otherwise. Play with perspective and skew tools a bit. I wouldn't make the text wider than the width of the road, either, because then you have to worry about how the shadow is going to look falling off the edge of the road.

Just saying, it seems a bit odd to me that there's a road (with no rails on the edge or sort of support) in the middle of water.
