Changing direction of one way street without destruction/dezoning

[ghoetker]

I originally thought this was mostly cosmetic/convenience, but I've now discovered a serious gameplay issue with not being able to change the directionality of roads (e.g., one way east to one way west; one way to two way; two way to one way). The automatic dezoning that accompanies the destruction of road required means I lose my well-developed residences,only to see them replaced with random, less educated citizens. GRRR. I kind of get the real-world reasoning behind changing density (sort of, kind of, maybe), but can't see the real world in this. Isn't it basically a one day job with some signs and repainting of pavement to do?

This bit me when I discovered my traffic flow was bad after my city grew. Only needed to change a few streets' directions, but what a huge loss!!

I hope it will be addressed in a patch. Despite this frustration, I'm loving the game!!!!

Thank you, CO, for considering.

Would be nice to have a more versatile upgrade tool for roads, also from one way to normal street and vica versa

+1 because sometimes having to lay the road in the direction of travel is harder to do due to the lack of snap to grid options. Off topic but it would also be nice to see the bulldoze only getting ride of small chunks with maybe a Shift modifier for finer editing of just created roads

Yeah this is needed... also Changing from two way to one way.

+1 ! this is irritating to not be able to change the one way street / highways

For the highway is problematic when you do particular curve for one way, and want to reproduce it for the opposite way to have something symmetrical...

I noticed this straight away when I did two one way roads going nowhere. Then when I tried to change them to two way had to demolish both roads & all the buildings either side of them. Imagine doing that in real life. You would have to flee for your life from angry citizens.

There is a mod on steam workshop which allows upgrading two way to one way and changing direction of one-way.
It works really well so far for me, only found it today but have used it quite a bit.

If losing achievements due to mods bothers you, this may come in handy too, although not tried it yet.
