Road Designer

Planning roads that work

Road Designer is about building, not racing. You lay down the streets yourself, decide where they cross, and choose which ones only allow traffic in one direction. Once a layout is ready, cars start to follow it, and you can see at once whether your plan holds up. Careful planning is what keeps the vehicles flowing instead of piling up.

Every level is a traffic puzzle

Each stage gives you a new challenge in managing how cars get around. There is room to be creative, since you can come up with your own layouts rather than follow a set answer. The game suggests trying several designs to find the one that moves traffic best, so expect to experiment.

Moving around the map

The controls are simple. WASD pans the view, and either the arrow keys or the mouse wheel handle zoom. Pressing G turns on grid snapping, which helps when you want neat, straight roads. If you want a closer look, tap the steering wheel icon and drive along your own streets.

Tips

• Try more than one layout and compare how the traffic behaves.
• Use grid snapping to keep junctions tidy.
• Link up paths the way a city road map would.
• Watch the cars after each change to see what helped.

Who it suits

Road Designer suits players who enjoy building, planning and puzzle solving. It is free on webgames.tv and runs in your browser.
