Collision Detection

collide(obj1, obj2) {
if (obj1.physics.x < obj2.physics.x + obj2.sprite.width
  && obj1.physics.x + obj1.sprite.width > obj2.physics.x
  && obj1.physics.y < obj2.physics.y + obj2.sprite.height
  && obj1.physics.y + obj1.sprite.height > obj2.physics.y
) return true;

return false;
}

Infinite road rendering

if (asset instanceof Road && asset.physics.y >= 0) {
  if (sprite.height > canvas.height) {
    if (asset.physics.y > (canvas.height)) {
      asset.physics.y = canvas.height - sprite.height;
    }

    this.ctx.drawImage(sprite.img, 0, 0, sprite.width, sprite.height, asset.physics.x, asset.physics.y - sprite.height + 1, sprite.width, sprite.height);
  }
