Roads (2)

Learn how to build roads, causeways, bridges, highways, and tunnels in SimCity 2000. Discover construction and maintenance costs for each road type.

Alright, let's talk about getting your Sims around! Roads are the backbone of any city in SimCity 2000. They let your citizens travel to work, shopping, and all the places they need to go. Think of them as the arteries of your metropolis. You'll also be using rails and subways later, but for now, let's focus on the pavement!

Here's a breakdown of the different road tools you have available, along with their costs:

When you're starting out, basic roads are your go-to. As your city grows and you need to cross water or go over other roads, you'll start using bridges and highways. Highways are great for connecting different parts of your city quickly, especially for longer distances. Remember that bridges and highways have ramps, and those ramps have their own costs and maintenance, so keep an eye on that budget!

Don't forget about Bus Depots! These are essential for public transport, helping to reduce traffic congestion. You'll need to place them strategically, usually near residential or commercial zones, to be effective.
