Cut roads are built using the road elevation options where the first negative values create cut roads before the road turns into a tunnel. Elevated roads on the other hand require sufficient clearance below them; using the road elevation to raise them up allows building them across roads that run parallel to them. Building elevated roads is as easy as building a bridge or an overpass<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6837c3d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6837c3d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-Stacked-roads.webp\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"6 Stacked roads\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MjkxMCwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2NvbG9zc2Fsb3JkZXIuZmlcL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjNcLzA2XC82LVN0YWNrZWQtcm9hZHMud2VicCJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-Stacked-roads.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2910\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-Stacked-roads.webp 1920w, https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-Stacked-roads-300x93.webp 300w, https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-Stacked-roads-1024x319.webp 1024w, https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-Stacked-roads-768x239.webp 768w, https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/6-Stacked-roads-1536x478.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Stack roads to save space or when adding a highway to an existing part of the city, and cut through the terrain with the cut-and-fill roads<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-69c7231 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"69c7231\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The roads are also more flexible to build in Cities: Skylines Il. Connecting different sizes of roads together can create interesting intersection options, for example splitting a small two-way road into entering and exiting highway ramps is now fast and easy. However, one of the most exciting new features in the road system is the ability to create entry and exit ramps for highways with proper acceleration and deceleration lanes that merge with the highway itself. This is achieved by first building a portion of the highway with a highway type that has one additional lane and then connecting that additional lane with a single-lane highway, forming a ramp.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-11019fc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"11019fc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/7-Highways.webp\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"7 Highways\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MjkxMSwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2NvbG9zc2Fsb3JkZXIuZmlcL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjNcLzA2XC83LUhpZ2h3YXlzLndlYnAifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/7-Highways.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2911\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/7-Highways.webp 1920w, https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/7-Highways-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/7-Highways-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/7-Highways-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/colossalorder.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/7-Highways-1536x864.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Split roads and merge lanes easily to create realistic-looking highway roads<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b82d966 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"b82d966\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a3b7be6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a3b7be6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">ROADS &amp; INTERSECTIONS<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-87fe013 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"87fe013\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roads are organized into familiar categories: small roads, medium roads, large roads, and, of course, highways.
