How would you break this up in modular pieces?

I am quite new to environment art, though not new to modelling props and assets. What would the proper way to go about getting city sidewalk in this picture, with it being modular?





Second I took a look at this guys concrete, Wayne Dalton, and he made his one square. If I took this method and did this would duplicating these all up and down the city block be unoptimized? Please help, I'm still new to breaking things up into modular pieces.

I made it like this. My level is pretty small, all pavements have less than 50 000.

Think of it in units size, how long your road is and how often its repeating. Will square size suffice or making it long road with tile texture be the best way.

Do read those 2 links they are very helpful

Hope it helps

Thanks guys, that was very helpful stuff. I now have a new problem, about textures for my sidewalk pieces. Below are my modular sidewalk pieces. I want to have one texture sheet for these pieces that is clean and unbroken. I want another texture sheet to have broken and cracked sidewalk. Should I put all of these pieces on one map, at perhaps 4Kx2K resolution? Or should I try to use tiling for the texture sheet, or even detail maps on them? Please help, I'd like it to be as optimized as possible.

You should check decal system than and vertex paint shaters, it would be much better instead of having 2 same textures but with variations.
