Residential lots don't find roads!

[1131989 223]

In two of my larger cities (+250,000 residents), some residential lots grow without properly finding road connections and promptly abandon. It takes up to a decade in game for them to become inhabited again. What is going on? This doesn't happen in smaller cities.

Did you inspect the lot to see which direction the arrows were pointing?  Was the building plopped?

Yes, do make sure the arrows are facing the road when you're zoning them. Sometimes the game might be stupid and try and make the zones face away from a street/road. If this happens, press the Alt key while zoning to change the direction that the zones are facing.

 

Even still, I occasionally see the no-car zots pop up on recently-grown residentials even when the zone is facing the road. However, they go away fairly quickly.

If the lot is OK with respect to orientation, sometimes a no-road zot will appear briefly when the lot is being considered for upgrading.

That may be it. A number of these lots briefly abandon and then get replaced with something else of higher or (occasionally) lower wealth.
