Roads are essential building blocks of a city. They carry not only traffic but also power, water and sewage through your city. Types of Roads determine the density of nearby zones. Roads must be constructed before zones and other structures can be built.
- Before Sims can populate a city, a road must be constructed from the regional highway.
Building Roads
All roads must be constructed from pre-existing roads. The initial road is built from the regional highway. All roads can be upgraded and downgraded. The road toolkit includes straight road, arced road, curved road and circle road.
