| Avoid having surfaces on the same level as another and directly adjacent to eachother. This greatly increased the chances of a player accidentally edge boosting on the part and losing lots of their speed. | Avoid having surfaces on the same level as another and directly adjacent to eachother.

| If you need to have this, it is recommended to make the parts CanCollide false, and creating a single invisible part that outlines the parts inside.
