Vehicles must come from the highway, correct?

So, from what I understood Maxis to say in one of the videos they produced, all vehicles in Simcity (unlike Simcity 4) have an origin and destination and they don't just magically appear and disappear like they do in Simcity 4. 

If that is really the case, then why am I seeing a construction truck stuck in this circle? (see screen shot).

I placed a square of dirt road so that I could place a park in the center. Next thing I know I've got a construction truck running around the square saying that it's trying to get to the construction site. 


But if all vehicles have to enter my city from the highway, then how did this truck magically appear on this dirt road? That square (rectangle) of road has never been connected up to any road that is connected to the highway, it was simply drawn in the center of a housing area so that I could place a park in the center of the housing area. 

I've been watching vehicles rather closely the last few hours that I've been able to appear and would have sworn that I've seen them pop in and pop out again, granted not many of them, but a few but just chalked it up to bad eyesight, but my eyesight is not so bad that this truck would appear on this rectangle of road when it has absolutely no way that it came from the highway on the other side of town.

Unfortunately, this is a bit inconclusive (as a picture) as you could've just bulldozed the connecting roads, then let the area around it build up, as well as let someone move in and then screen cap.

While the world of internet is "pics or stfu"... in this case,  "vid or stfu" makes more sense.

 

hth.

    Yeah I could have done that I suppose, but I didn't.  So... What is the explanation for this occuring?

     

    Edit: The more I think about the post above the more I think to myself "Self, with all the problems that Maxis/EA have right now with the game and the launch, why would i bother to go out of my way to setup the scenario that the user above suggested, if I wanted to bash the game or something like that I've got ample fuel directly from the game that I don't need to fabricate any myself."

    I would chalk it up to being a server bug. --Ocram


    Ocram's Razor: Though "more things shouldn't be used than are necessary," they're just too fun to pass up! Expect many verbose arguments from me. I will try to write abstracts before or short summaries after from now on.

    Words to live by:
    "Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit... But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually..." 1 Corinthians 4-11

    "Do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
    "Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you." Matthew 7:1-3
