Ok, thanks! I was wondering because I have 2 cities next to each other in my region; one has the big police HQ, and when I started the second one it already had full police cover, even though I hadn’t built a police station yet. I just wondered whether the SWAT team from the neighbouring city were c...

I’ve never been sure how different cities within a region interact… like, can they share police, hospital etc, or is it only the things that are specifically exported? In terms of exports, is there a recommended way to manage those? So, for instance, is it worth setting up one city to just supply wa...

I'm having this issue too. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong! I'm on bus route 3, although it has happened on other cities and I can't remember the route number of those. The bus stop is highlighted as normal, with no other bus route going to it, but no matter how much I click, I can't get...

I can see that there's a reaction to my post, but I don't know what it means, sorry! Let me know if I need to post somewhere else or provide more detail.

I'm using this plug-in and love it, but just one problem - the middle bit doesn't seem to reverse direction for left-side driving. Whether I make the 6 lanes by placing them directly, or by placing outer-inner-outer individually, I get 2 lanes in each direction going the "correct" way, and...

Thank you! Think I understand it now!

And a similar question: can I change the lane markings on roads? There are a couple of junctions that I'd like to make right turn only, but can't figure out a way.

I've been adding highways to my towns, but sometimes (if there are existing roads crossing over the highway) there's no barrier between the two sides of the highway. Even if I remove the connecting roads, there's still a gap in the barrier. Cars are doing u-turns on my highways! How do I add a barri...

Thank you!

I can't get it to work, though! So I select highway, and then click the bridge button, click where I want the bridge to start and end, and expect a bridge... But I just get flat highway.

I must be doing something dumb!

My city has 2 highways which intersect. I'd like one of the highways to be elevated along its whole length (ie not just a bridge). I assume this has something to do with the arrows on the top right when I'm building the highway, but I can't get them to do anything! So I have the regular "flat&q...

Oh, ok! Thanks!

Aw! I want to have inter-city trains!!

So the neighbouring towns can link roads and pipes, but otherwise are totally separate, is that right?

Thank you! Can the trains join up with neighbouring towns, the way roads do?

I hope this is the right area of the form to ask some questions about the game? Please let me know if I need to ask elsewhere. 1. What are plugins? How do I get them? 2. How do towns join together and interact when you have neighbouring towns on adjacent land squares (like on the giant map that you ...

Thanks! Got it!

I'm confused about building road bridges... Can someone link to a tutorial or explain how they work? Basically, I have an existing crossroads and I want to make one of the roads into a bridge instead. So I select "Country Road" and the game goes into build mode. I've then tried: 1. Click w...

If I designate an area as residential, it automatically creates a road if there isn't one next to it. I assume each residential/commercial area needs at least 1 road next to it? What happens if I designate a 3x3 area as residential? Does the block in the middle have access to a road? Or will residen...
