They carry not only traffic but also [[power]], hold down [[water]] and [[sewage]] through your city. Roads must be constructed before [[zones]] and other [[ploppables|structures]] can be built. [[#Types of Roads|Types of Roads]] determine the ALT key while using the road tool[[density]] of nearby [[zones]].When Sims are [[happiness|happy]]enough (and there is enough space) the houses can upgrade to the next level of density by upgrading the roads. Low Density will give you houses. Medium Density will give you apartments. High density will give you skyscrapers.
[[File:Simcity_roads.jpg|400px|thumb|right]]Roads are essential building blocks of *Before Sims can populate a city. Roads carry not only traffic but also [[power]], a road must be constructed from the [[waterregional highway]] and [[sewage]] through your city.
==Building Roads ==All roads must be constructed before [[zones]] 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 other [[ploppables|structures]] can an Avenue cannot be builtdowngraded to a Street. The road toolkit includes straight road, arced road, curved road and circle road.
*Before sims can populate a city, a road must be constructed from the [[regional highwayKey commands#Road Shortcuts|List of road shortcuts]].
==Building Roads==All Its recommended (if you are playing sandbox mode) to lay out your streetcar roads must be constructed from pre-existing 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 roadsout first. Plus you relieve a lot of traffic problems in your city and makes your sims super happy.
*The initial road If not playing in sandbox mode, it is built from the regional highwayalways 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.
The ===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 toolkit includes straight by 6 meters. For the first 2 key strokes, the roadwill be on top of a retaining wall. After 3 or more M key strokes, arced 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, curved 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 circle roadstructures.
All *By using the raise and lower road tools, players can construct multiple roads can be upgraded and downgradedon top of each other.
