Roads are essential building blocks of a city. Roads They carry not only traffic but also [[power]], [[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 [[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.
*Before sims 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, 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.

*By using the raise and lower road tools, players can construct multiple roads on top of each other.
