QuestionWhat would be a good size for the roads?Reuben RatliffCommunity AnswerIt depends on the use of the road. For footpaths, alleys, and trails use 3x-5x. For larger foot-traffic or some horse/pig traffic use 5x-9x. Avenues running traffic in 2 directions are always good, in the center you can add decorations, perhaps a small canal for gondolas for full submersion into your city. Avenues work great in larger cities, 5-7 blocks each way with a 5-9 median work the best. Remember 1 block is about 3 feet cubed, a general traffic lane IRL is approx. 9 wide or 3 blocks.

Tips from our Readers
The advice in this section is based on the lived experiences of wikiHow readers like you. If you have a helpful tip you’d like to share on wikiHow, please submit it in the field below.
- Don't use super flat if you want a realistic city—you won't be able to build tunnels or underground areas and it can be difficult to make waterways, which are super important. Also, make sure your roads are strong with at least 2 lanes going in both directions. This is the foundation of your city and how you'll organize it as you expand.
- Believe in yourself and experiment with different types of construction. Nothing is a failure if you learned while building it.
