Road tiles are always useful, and typically come either as a large pack on their own or bundled in some quantity with an upgrade. It feels somewhat random which upgrades it offers and sometimes neither of them is all that useful to you right now, but a little forward thinking will help you pick out one you may want to stock up on. Upgrades are interesting here, every seven in-game days you get to select one out of two upgrades. There are also weekly and daily challenges that modify the rules a little by changing which upgrades you get or the likelihood of a business being upgraded. There are a number of maps to choose from, and despite looking fairly similar, they do offer different challenges. Due to the mountain, I could not just drop a motorway bypass, so I was pretty much out of luck until a house that was the correct colour mercifully dropped near the business and it kept it going… for about five seconds more because a business somewhere that I had not even noticed had spawned, was not connected to anything, and timed out. Unfortunately, it quickly became fully gridlocked and the businesses on that side of the mountain started getting angry and timing out. Since that road was already connected by a bridge to the area I wanted to go, I figured it would do for now. Unfortunately, I had no tunnels left, so I had to use an existing one, which of course further increased the traffic congestion on that road.
So, I needed a tunnel and either a bridge or motorway to get it over the river and to where the houses were. Unfortunately, the houses that spawned for it were almost on the exact opposite end of the map, behind a river and a mountain. It left me no choice but to leave it connected to the road it spawned on and route traffic to it. I saw a way to fix my current traffic situation by moving some roads around and placing a roundabout, however, when I cleared the spot to drop the roundabout in, an entirely new business spawned into the spot and it was yet another different colour from the ones currently using the highway.
Sometimes the game can be quite cruel too. Typically, it is okay if you have plenty of space but as the map starts getting cramped, segregated or well-thought-out roadways became of fond memory and you must start fighting gridlock. However, it quickly descends into chaos as more colours of businesses randomly spawn in places where you may or may not have actually wanted them to go. In theory this is simple, just connect the two with a road and sit back and watch. Mini Motorways is a casual simulation strategy game with the simple premise of getting different coloured cars from houses to businesses and back again.
