Roads
Roads are essential building blocks of a city. They carry not only traffic but also power, water and sewage through your city. Roads must be constructed before zones and other structures can be built. Types of Roads determine the density of nearby zones.
- Before Sims can populate a city, a road must be constructed from the regional highway.
