Anyone know because the efficiency is cut? It may be for the direction of the road? I find it a bit annoying.

The screenshot is too small and blurry for me to read what is what, although I can say it is in Spanish. Your first number is about 1200+ while the second one is probably 900 (hard to tell) which implies you have more students than your schools can teach. Build another one.

build it at where one direction starts and you get it green lit if you want it. People will travel to school anyway in either place so it is not a problem. Only thing the green road increases is upgrade level bar for office, residential, industry or commercial zones

You're right, you said correctly the numbers. Ok, so I'll build another.

Well, then if there isn't a problem, I will not pay attention to the cut green efficiency. :D

I think (and I could be incorrect) but you are not getting any green to the right of the school because that is a one way road?
I don't use one way roads much but the green will travel down the roads from the school; right or left if traffic flows both ways.
The green (school coverage area) will not travel in the opposite direction of a one way road.

Exact, the road is in unique direction, as you seen with cars that coming. :D

To put it simply... The green area denotes "influence range" where it effects whether that particular zone gets access to service/s, to use this for happiness calculation/upgrading of building. Buildings send their vehicles wherever there is road, so you can have them on the other side of town and they will still serve your city perfectly fine, as long as your traffic isn't absolutely terrible :). Some of the buildings might just not upgrade to a higher level if you have not enough buildings providing the influence range coverage.

In this case, school doesn't send any vehicle out, on the contrary, people have to come in to get serviced, thus you do not have to worry as long as there is a meaningful way how to get there and out. In this context, parks work almost in the same way, people have to get there, and they provide influence range.

When in doubt, plop down a bus route/metro station that end somewhere near the school and you are done.

Thank you for the information! :D

I have a question, you usually put roads in one direction? And if so, in which case you recommend putting one of these? I have an important rave about this. xD

bigger roads give more distance of influence also. If your road complex if all screwed up the building influence will not go very far, such as long big roads you get a lot of extra distance influence.

The green (school coverage area) will not travel in the opposite direction of a one way road.
Now you mention it, that doesn't really make a whole lot of sense for a school (at least in the immediate vicinity). Within that first city block which isn't covered (and probably further) I would expect most kids would walk to/from school rather than drive/be driven and therefore the direction of road traffic is utterly irrelevant. When you get further removed from the service building then maybe there'd be a knock-on effect, but I'm still not sure.

And if we take a hospital/clinic on a one-way street: Is there any advantage to being just up the road in the same direction as traffic for than just down the road against the flow of traffic, when from the former the ambulance still has to drive around the entire block to get the patient back to hospital!

Yeah I'm not sure slornie. I don't use one way roads much and in my current (450k pop) city I don't have a single one way road. So I'm going on some old memory but I think the coverage area flows with the direction of the road if I remember correctly. Next time I play I will change a road to a one way next to one of my schools and see what happens.
