Road access for buildings

[ck34 0]

a 4x4 residential building was facing a 4x1 strip of road.

I then bulldozed an edge of the road and changed it to a subway station.

To my surprise, the building still has road access.

 

R: road

B: building

S: subway station

I bring this up because this can help to cut some spaces used to be spend on road. Anyone know which road tile does the game check to see if the building has road access?

Now that I think about it your right . manny times in bulldozing things I bulldoze part of a road accedently and if a building has a parcial road connection its doesent depleat.

  this is worth testing .

A lot does have road access even if just one tile faces a road. And it is not necessary at all that the road be at the front side either. If, however, the game subdivides the lot, some of the new, smaller lots may not have road access then.

Yep. It uses all of the tiles to face transportain, not just a magic one. I make a 2x2 lot around bus and subway stops and keep the rest 1x2.

I dont think so. Because if i delete all but just the edge tile of the road, the 4x4 building will says it have no road access (after a while.)
