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.
===Road toolkitRaise 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.
