Road Designer

About Road Designer

Road Designer lets you act as a city planner. You build roads, watch vehicles move through them and adjust your design to make traffic flow well.

The interactive format allows experimenting freely, and watching cars navigate your layouts is part of the fun. Good designs keep traffic moving, while poor ones lead to jams.

Traffic is a satisfying thing to design, because you can see the results of your choices moving in front of you. A small change to a junction can clear a jam, and a clumsy one can create a new one. The game invites you to experiment, learn from the mess and improve, making it a calm puzzle for people who like systems. Because you can watch traffic move through your design immediately, feedback is quick and mistakes are easy to fix.

How to play Road Designer
