Road Degradation & Tolls

[Wakeupcall]

Hi Guys,

Really nice game so far. Impressed! I will buy all Xpac & DLC Just make sure to be working on these already please

I love the road building system but it needs more. Make the roads have maintenance fee with visual degradation if you cannot keep up the repayments. If the roads are bad then this will make your public transport need more budget for repairs and your people will not be happy due to their vehicles needing more services as well. Crashes by vehicles etc.

Tolls - there should be tolls to allow you to help finance the above where you can set the rate at which you charge. The more you charge the more people will want to avoid it but depending on the general traffic on roads to avoid it they might just decide to pay it and gain a little unhappiness so the player has to be tactical.

If you did the road maintenance spend via the districts then you start making it possible for rich and poor areas to look noticeably different

Buildings then could look more dirty depending on how badly maintained your roads are

This is not a bad idea. You should probably see the effects of poorly maintained roads being that speed is decreased and land values will decrease in the area (especially the effects of tree lined roads should be reduced.) They've set this up in the game quiet well with the introduction of speed limits on different roads.

It should be interesting having toll roads too. I enjoyed using these on SC4 Rush Hour. It meant I'd only build one or two bridges and toll them and force all people to go over them for maximum effect.

+1 This is cool! Also, When roads are already degraded, then cars cannot meet the maximum speed for that road. Toll boots! More money for us mayors. LOL
