In this tutorial, you will learn how to build (place, position) road depots. Road depots are where you build road vehicles (busses & trucks) and where they go to be serviced. Make sure your vehicles can access the road network from road depots.

How do I place a road depot?

  1. Click the road build button /File/en/Manual/Roadcnstr.png in the menu bar to display the road construction toolbar:

  2. Click on the buid road vehicle depot button or press "5". The Road Depot Orientation window opens.

  3. Select the direction you want your road depot to face. This is how road vehicles will enter and exit the deport from the road network.
  4. Place the road depot next to a road, orientating the depot exit towards the road. Besides building on flat land, you can also Build on slopes.
