More customisation options for Roads & Highways including: tracks, streets, roads, or highways as separate roadway (carriageway) network types; add/remove lanes of traffic; convert a lane into a bus lane; add turning lanes; add central “suicide lanes” for traffic turning into side-streets; variety of road paving surfaces; add/remove a median and choose the width/type; add/remove sidewalks; choose the width and paving surface of sidewalks; customise slip-lanes (on-ramps and off-ramps); utilise roundabouts, cul-de-sacs, hammerheads, and traffic-calming measures; varying speed limits; customise street lighting; add/remove traffic lights at junctions/intersections; name roadways and mark out route numbers.

More Railway options, including: rail, subway, monorail, steam rail line, light rail, high-speed rail, or maglev as separate railway network types; choose whether network is underground, above ground, or elevated; stations of a more realistic length and with various sizes serving different numbers of rail lines; more realistic lengths of trains; ability to utilise train service yards, railway sidings, and roundhouses.

Ability to: place bus stops on top of road networks, with optional lay-bys; place large bus depots/stations; utilise bus yards and garages.	A key feature. I’d love to have this! I want this important feature Undecided Less important than other features I don’t want this at all!
Improved Pedestrian and Cyclist infrastructure, providing options for: functional pedestrian footpaths with different surface textures, and functional open paved areas or plazas – both allowing the possibility of pedestrian-only access to adjoining Lots; ability to remove/add and adjust the width and surface paving texture of sidewalks on the roads; zebra crossings and pelican crossings (traffic-light controlled) that can be plopped on top of roads; functional pedestrian/cyclist-only alleyways - narrower than alleyways for vehicles (or “service roads”); wooden-frame, concrete, or brick-built pedestrian boardwalks and piers/jetties for waterfronts – which can also have some buildings plopped or zoned on top of them; ability to add cycle paths; ability to add cycle lanes to roads.	A key feature. I’d love to have this! I want this important feature Undecided Less important than other features I don’t want this at all!
More options to add Parking for vehicles, including: on-street parking; roadside parking bays (both lateral and parallel); parking bays partially or fully covering the sidewalk (dependant on the sidewalk width); surface parking lots with customised layouts; various sizes/styles of multi-storey parking garages; wall-to-wall individual parking garage units; add/remove parking meters and receiving revenue from them; utilise parking restrictions. Also making various building Lots have realistic parking lot sizes; and implementing a real need to provide places to park in your cities, meaning that parking spaces actually serve a purpose and can be seen in use.	A key feature. I’d love to have this! I want this important feature Undecided Less important than other features I don’t want this at all!
More Water Transportation options, including: barges allowing transport of people or goods along natural or man-made canals (featuring the ability to place locks for our canals to travel uphill); greater variety of ferry sizes with different capacities; various recreational water transit to increase tourism.	A key feature. I’d love to have this! I want this important feature Undecided Less important than other features I don’t want this at all!
Improving Air Transportation features to allow business and recreational/vacation travel between different cities or nations, and including cargo shipping flights. Also featuring small private airfields for flight training, recreation, and light air travel.	A key feature. I’d love to have this! I want this important feature Undecided Less important than other features I don’t want this at all!
Allowing integration of Transport Networks such as: ground networks running directly underneath elevated networks along part of the same route; placing bus stops and subway entrances on sidewalks or paved areas; integrating any types of rail line (e.g. trams, trains, monorails) into the area within road & highway networks to save space.	A key feature. I’d love to have this! I want this important feature Undecided Less important than other features I don’t want this at all!
Allowing the creation of bends with various radii, to lay out both sharp turns and long gradual bends. Certain higher speed network types (e.g. normal rail lines and highways) would be restricted to using a larger radius to create a more gradual turn. Along bends in networks we should still have all of the customisation options of a straight section, and be able to create road intersections, add/remove road lanes, place bus stops, create sets of points on rail lines, etc.	A key feature. I’d love to have this! I want this important feature Undecided Less important than other features I don’t want this at all!
More options for Bridges and Tunnels, including: different styles of short bridges from brick to concrete to metal frame, and flat or arched (“hump back”); many styles of longer bridges available; bridges/tunnels of varying widths; ability to create curved bridges/tunnels; historic or modern drawbridges (e.g. Tower Bridge in London, U.K.); pedestrian footbridges to cross other transport networks or water, pedestrian tunnels/underpasses (“subways”) to pass beneath other transport networks or water; underwater tunnels for transport networks; double-decked bridges (allowing two different network types to use the same bridge); creation of tunnel entrances on flat land; water tunnels/pipes to allow building over the top of a small river; water aqueducts, e.g. for allowing canals to cross valleys.	A key feature. I’d love to have this! I want this important feature Undecided Less important than other features I don’t want this at all!
Ability to elevate any type of network which runs along the ground (road, rail, pedestrian, cyclist, etc.) allowing creation of underpasses/overpasses and flyovers, and the ability to create double-decked networks (e.g. elevated rail running directly above a road). Ability to adjust height of elevation by a number of tiers/levels – allowing more than two networks to cross each other in different directions at one place, and allowing the possibility to create custom stacked-interchanges. Elevation options to include: concrete or brick retaining walls, metal framework, concrete supports, grass or concrete/paved slopes (embankments) – although certain types of elevation options would clearly not allow other transport networks to run directly underneath along the same route, but only cross through at a different direction.	A key feature. I’d love to have this! I want this important feature Undecided Less important than other features I don’t want this at all!
An optional ability to make any ground transport network (including pedestrian) automatically level the land below as it is drawn/laid; and to also make any elevated transport network automatically adjust the height of elevation across sloping or uneven land in order to keep the network at an even level.	A key feature. I’d love to have this! I want this important feature Undecided Less important than other features I don’t want this at all!
An in-game Interchange Builder & Editor for creating custom road and highway interchanges from smaller modular pieces and standard transport network tools, while allowing our creations to be saved as a single ploppable structure to save time for future usage. Also allowing existing interchanges to be loaded into the Editor, to make changes and save the modified version as a whole new separate interchange.	A key feature. I’d love to have this!

Inclusion of non-work related traffic on our transport networks, such as those resulting from: recreational commutes, tourist commutes, shopping commutes, social commutes, holiday commutes, etc.	A key feature.
