I'm not certain, but I seem to have the same problem with roads going under an elevated highway.
I have this same NAM problem in other cities of mine, but in the one I'm building right now (where I've avoided crossing roads and railroads), I've plotted residential and industrial zones on opposite sides of an elevated highway. The zones are connected by roads leading under the highway. They can also both be accessed from the highway itself.
But although I have huge industrial and residential demand, and both zones are almost full, with thousands of residents and jobs, nobody commutes across the highway, either by car, bus or train. I have residential districts emptying out because of unemployment and industries shutting down for "lack of demand".
I suspect this also is a NAM issue, but I'm not sure. Can anyone advise me?
Also, I have used a couple of NAM components in other cities. Will I have to demolish them before I take out the problematic NAM?quote>
It has more to do with a programming error. For some reason, Sims don't use highways. Most likely, the entrance and exit ramps they use are too close.
