Place them in your city like any other road and create new green city centers free of most vehicles and noise pollution. PEDESTRIAN AREAS AND NEW POLICIES Activate three area-specific policies for your city including Slow Driving: all roads in the pedestrian area, except highways, get a speed limit of 20 km/h.

Each specialization features 24 new modern wall-to-wall buildings! CITY SERVICE BUILDINGS Service buildings are important, but how about awesome-looking service buildings? Connect them to pedestrian areas by matching their visual style and providing services that contribute to good happiness values (one of the main metrics of a successful pedestrian area).zone).
