==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, though a Street cannot be upgraded to an Avenue, and an Avenue cannot be downgraded to a Street. The road toolkit includes straight road, arced road, curved road and circle road.

Its recommended (if your you are playing sandbox mode) to lay out your streetcar roads first, and weave it through the core and important locations of your city. Place your street car stops at culture,gambling,etc. locations when designing your new city. When your city gets developed enough and populate, your sims will start to beg heavily for streetcars. Thats why you lay these roads out first. Plus you re-leaf relieve a lot of traffic problems in your city and makes your sims super happy. If not playing in sandbox mode, it is always a good idea to think where you want to put important pieces of your city, and build [[Medium Density Avenue]] to these points. They are less expensive than [[High Density Streetcar Avenue]] and can still be upgraded later. ===Raise and Lower Roads===When drawing roads, you can press M to raise them and N to lower them. Each M key stroke will raise the road by 6 meters. For the first 2 key strokes, the road will be on top of a retaining wall. After 3 or more M key strokes, bridges will form underneath the roads. These roads can be constructed above pre-existing roads and other structures. First few N key strokes will create a trench for the road to lie on. The next few N key strokes will create a tunnel for the road. Underground tunnels allow the player to construct roads underneath pre-existing roads and structures. *By using the raise and lower road tools, players can construct multiple roads on top of each other.
