The 'undulating pathway' part is quite good. I thought the road were straight lines, but I much prefer your more, er, serpentine version. Reminds me of the way some rivers are said to be serpents or dragons (the big one in Dara Happa)... Could the roads be part of a Dragon ?
Then, those scaly engravings and slightly moving walls on the plinths may be more alive than you think. And to use the road is to be inside the mighty mind of [insert cool dragon name there], who does not care about space and time. Oh my.
