Roads are an integral part of any city in the Cities Skyline. Let’s figure it out: how to build a better road network!

What can be considered the main element in Cities Skyline? A tool, an object or a thing without which it will not be possible to build a city? Someone will say that these are residents and in a sense they will be right. However, the answer lies on the surface – it’s roads!

They are like human blood vessels, delivering important cargo to the cells of your city. The smarter the network, the more efficiently your citizens can move within the city. After all, traffic jams can become one of the main problems. Sit comfortably, because you will find a detailed guide on the roads in cities skyline!

Roads provide areas with buildings and city services. Absolutely any of your games in Cities Skyline begins with the construction of the first section of the road.

The first task in the construction of any city can be considered the construction of an arbitrary section of road

To build a road: in the Build panel, click on the Roads icon. A menu will appear with a huge number of tools. Let’s understand the road editor and find out how to build roads correctly.

Contents

• 1 How to build roads?
  • 1.1 Straight road
  • 1.2 Curved road
  • 1. 3 Random road
  • 1.4 Road improvement
    • 1.4.1 How to change the direction of the road?
  • 1.5 Overpass pitch

How to build roads?

In the lower left corner are tools for building roads. They will allow you to build tracks of various shapes and purposes.

Straight road

By default, you will only build straight roads. Everything is simple here – sections of the road will be straight, without bends. Try to build a couple of blocks!

For building straight roads, use the appropriate tool

Using the tool is as simple as possible. You just need to select the desired type of road and click on the intersection or any section of an existing road. Then start moving the cursor away from the starting point. The blue projection of the future road will tell you what the highway will turn out to be. The longer the road, the more you have to pay for it. To build a road, click the cursor one more time. Congratulations! The road is ready. If the projection is colored red, then construction is impossible.

Curved Road

If you need to build a curved road, such as on a mountain slope or coastal road, switch to the Curved Road tool.

You can build more than just straight highways.

To build a road like this, you first have to specify the vector along which the road will curve. Then, after clicking the left mouse button, the already familiar blue projection will appear.

Freeform Road

To build a long, curved road, use the Freeform Road tool. It allows you to initially set the bend vector, which will not change after mouse clicks. Try it yourself!

To build long, curved roads, use the Custom Road tool.

Road Improvement

Sometimes the question arises: How to change the road? For example, your city has grown and a two-lane road creates minor traffic jams. Select a new road type, such as four lanes. Then click on the ‘Road Improvement’ tool and click on the desired section of the highway.

Improve roads instead of rebuilding them

How to change the direction of the road?

In addition, the Enhance tool allows you to change the direction of the road. To do this, point to the area you are interested in and right-click (RMB).

The right mouse button will allow you to change the direction of the road

This action is free, so use it to your health!

Trestle pitch

The tool has a mysterious purpose. For a good thousand hours and tests played, the roads did not change in any way when this parameter was changed. Who knows? Write in the comments!

Link

Cities Skyline has a number of systems to help you build roads. They work automatically and help you build symmetrical roads. If, you cannot build any road, then click on the “Snap” tool and turn off all items.

Disable cursor snapping in extra parameters

Now try to build the required road again. Did it help? Amazing! However, this tool should not be abused in order to exclude intra-group conflicts.

Road construction is an extremely important task. Be sure to use all available tools. This will allow you to build the right roads. If you are unable to build the desired lane, then you can install a modification that will provide you with complete freedom of action. You can get acquainted with a detailed guide on the installation and operation of the Fine Road Anarchy mod on our website.

How to delete a road?

Roads are equivalent to any object on the Cities Skyline map. To remove objects, there is a bulldozer tool. In the Build panel, click on the Bulldozer icon, then point to the desired section of road and press the left mouse button. Road removed! Any difficulties? Read our bulldozer guide.

Any road can be demolished or removed using the Bulldozer tool

Varieties of roads

There are different roads. They differ not only in appearance, but also in characteristics, and most importantly, in purpose. Even in the vanilla version of Cities Skyline, there are enough varieties, the main ones include:

1. Two-lane. The smallest capillaries of your “circulatory system” of roads;
2. Four-strip. Larger capillaries;
3. Six-strip. The veins of your car network.

Everything is simple here, the more lanes, the more vehicles can simultaneously pass through the section of the road. It is worth noting that four-lane and six-lane roads are the same in size. This means that they can be improved without harming the zones of your city.

Most obviously, the roads in Cities Skyline differ in the number of lanes. Use big roads in places with heavy traffic. For less, you can save for remote areas

What can not be said about two-lane. They are two times smaller than other varieties. Therefore, when planning the streets of your city, try to avoid small roads on the main streets.

In addition to size, there are the following types of roads:

1. With trees and alleys. To increase the happiness of citizens;
2. With catenary line. For the possibility of movement of trolleybuses;
3. With tram tracks. To create tram routes;
4. With mono rail tracks. For creating monorail routes;
5. With bus lanes. To speed up the movement of buses and taxis through the streets of your city;
6. With bike lanes. Suitable for quiet, sleeping neighborhoods;
7. Industrial . For industrial areas to save;
8. Country. The most “effective” method of budget savings.

Roads are of various types and purposes. Familiarize yourself with each variety and apply them, depending on the current needs of your metropolis. Cities skylines new roads appear with each major addition, so it’s not over yet!

Roads of the same type may differ in purpose

Since we are talking about savings, it is worth noting that you have to pay for each section of the road! In a huge metropolis, the cost of maintaining roads can reach cosmic proportions. However, it is always worth spending extra slots to build larger and more spacious autobahns.

Highway

Separately, it is worth highlighting such a kind of road as a highway. In addition to size and purpose, each road has its own – the maximum speed of movement. It is the highway that will allow your citizens to “fly like Lightning McQueen”.

It is the highways that allow your citizens to develop maximum speed. The faster the transport moves, the faster the parcel will overtake its addressee. Thank God there are no accidents in Cities Skyline. Nothing to worry about!

This is because highways are suburban highways and are designed to handle the maximum amount of traffic. That is why most highways are one-way. How to change the direction of the road? All the same, using the “Improve road” tool. It is also relevant for suburban highways. If we return to our analogy with the human circulatory system, then the highway would take the role of the largest arteries.

Highways do not create zone cages on shoulders. Place or build buildings will not work! Build highways, autobahns, overpasses or bypass roads so that your citizens can get to the right area of ​​the city as quickly as possible. Provided that there is a competent exit from the highway to the city.

Road junctions

Construction of road junctions is a real art! They allow you to quickly change the type of road for your transport. At the beginning of the game, you will a priori have a starting road junction. Without it, many kilometers of traffic jams may form at the entrance to the city. In fact, road junctions are needed to create exits from the city skylines.

To build a road junction: in the Build panel, click on the Roads icon. Then go to the “Intersections” tab.

All road junctions are located in the “Intersections” section

In the menu that appears, you will be greeted by 4 basic junctions. They will be enough to build your first metropolis:

• roundabouts;
• T-shaped;
• X-shaped.

However, it is not always possible to build them in the right place. Areas with uneven terrain are especially straining. In this case, there are two ways: build it yourself or contact the mods in the Steam workshop. You can check out our guide on installing modifications. There will be all the important information on how to set up custom interchanges. Also, you can read our Cities Skyline map guide. It has ready-made maps with roads and road junctions.

Interchanges will allow you to significantly speed up the movement of traffic.

Tunnels and Bridges

Roads can be located not only on the ground, you also have the opportunity to dig tunnels and build beautiful bridges. Naturally, such structures require more cells for maintenance.

Tunnels

Tunnels are needed in order to pass any obstacle on the ground. Whether it’s a railroad or an oncoming highway. To perceive any tunnel is like an ordinary road underground. In order to build a tunnel underground, you will have to change the height of the overpass. The hotkeys “Page Up” and “Page Down” are just responsible for this!

It’s simple: want to go one level underground? Press once on the “Page Down” key on your keyboard. It is necessary to perform this action during the construction of the road. When you already have a blue projection. Clicking on the left mouse button will allow you to create an entrance to the future tunnel.

While building a road, press the “Page Down” key to turn on the underground construction mode

There is an entrance, now you need to build the underground passage itself. Spend the required distance underground. Please note that it is possible to delve into the bowels of the earth, to do this, press the “Page Down” button again. This feature will be useful only in the case of the construction of several tunnels in a certain area.

Build the main length of the tunnel and bypass the obstacle

To “surface”, press the “Page Up” key. The green color of the projection will tell you the correctness of your actions. Click again with the left mouse button on the terrain and voila! The tunnel is ready! Now you know how to lower the road. The action also works for bridges if you take a higher height for the supports.

The finished tunnel must have an entrance and an exit. Otherwise, it will not be a tunnel, but a hole in the ground

You can create an ultra-deep tunnel that will allow you to cross a river or even a mountain. You can build real underground roads! But know that any underground activities are not cheap pleasure. Therefore, to overcome water barriers, it is better to use bridges.

Bridge

If for some reason you can’t afford a tunnel, build a bridge. Everything works in the same way with the underground mode, only this time, you have to press another “Page Up” key. It will allow you to adjust the height of the bridge.

Build a bridge to cross water or other obstacles

If you build a water bridge, then everything becomes much easier. The game itself will adjust the desired height to overcome the obstacle and you do not have to go through “Page Up” and “Page Down”. But bridges built in this way are not navigable. Ships will not be able to sail under them, so this method can be used for small streams.

You can simply build a road from one side of the river to the other. The game will independently build the desired height for your bridge

With large navigable rivers – you will have to tinker and play with hot keys. Try to avoid sudden ascents and descents. It doesn’t look very aesthetically pleasing.

Now you can answer the question yourself: How to raise the road? And tell your friends about it! In the later stages of the game, you have the opportunity to combine business with pleasure. In City Skyline, the dam plays the role of a bridge and provides a huge amount of electricity. So take note.

Building a profitable dam is a real art! Not every city can boast of such a bridge

Highways and flyovers

A bridge can be built anywhere. Even if the road is over the road! Such a phenomenon is considered to be flyovers. In other words, this is a large, through, elevated highway, along which you can get to any part of the city, avoiding traffic jams oncoming roads.

Try to build similar highways to avoid traffic jams

Through highways are needed in cases where you notice that transport is trying to cut through the city, instead of using the bypass. Therefore, it is best to have at least one large transport artery that will cross the city through and through.

Road Service

Your city’s road service is responsible for improving the roadway. It significantly improves the quality of roads, allowing vehicles to move at a higher speed. To build a service: In the “Builds” panel, click on the “Roads” icon. Then go to the Road Condition section and build the Road Service Depot.

Build a road service depot to increase the speed of your vehicles

You can watch the improvement progress using a filter. In the Road Services menu, switch to the Status tab. Improved roads are marked in green, ordinary roads are marked in red. Based on the information received, build additional depots.

The Status tab will allow you to control the process of improving the road surface

Road service is not a vital aspect of your city. But her presence will help you get rid of annoying traffic jams and congestion.

Toll highways

You can create toll highways for your vehicles. They will partially recoup the cost of maintaining roads, as well as divide traffic. To build them: In the Build panel, click on the Roads icon. Then go to the “Fare” tab.

Build a toll booth to generate extra income and regulate traffic

Toll booths vary in size and capacity. We advise you to put one-sided. It is more expensive, but slows down transport less.

It is desirable to build such structures on bypass roads. Please note that buildings need water and electricity, so it is problematic to set them up far from the city center. Click on the item and you will have access to information about the number of passing vehicles. Believe it or not – you decide. You can raise or lower the fare as needed.

You can increase the fare at any time

Passing through the toll booth, cars will stop to pay. You can speed up this process by using a policy. To do this: In the Constructions panel, click on the Policies icon, then scroll down the Urban Planning list and click on the Automated Toll Station policy. The policy will allow you to automatically deduct payments from drivers’ cards, but will reduce income by 30%.

Using the policy will allow you to speed up the process of passing through the point, however, it will reduce income by a third

Toll roads will help your city earn extra money. You can build them at the entrance to the city to encourage greedy residents to use other passages.

Pedestrians

Not all roads are for cars. Cities Skyline has separate sidewalks that pedestrians can walk on. Thanks to them, you can reduce pedestrian traffic at intersections by building bridges and underpasses.

Intersections

Sidewalks are attached to any type of road, except highways. They are not always noticeable, but if you look closely at the central streets of your city, you can see crowds of walking citizens.

City residents use sidewalks and specialized footpaths to cover short distances.
