why arent sims using the highway?

[jtgasv 0]

i'm adding a highway to my city but no one is using it. its along a major traffic route and before i upgraded my avenue to a highway it was busy but now most of my city has nojob zots on them and my population went from 60k to 35k in a few months, i didnt save the game but im trying to figure out why none of my sims want to use a highway.

It's because they take the shortest route not the fastest route.

unless you have the NAM which helps fix that, I believe

Very odd.  The same thing happeneed to me in my biggest city, Iron Point.  I rebuilt an avenue neighbor connection with usage of 65k with a highway and the connection went down to 137 and the entire area just kinda... died.  The NAM is great, though.
