Get them to use the road?

[MOK]

I've got a real nice 5 tile highway. I'd love it if plebs would use it, but some of them seem to go out of their way to avoid it.

For example, I just built a wall around my city, hoping that the limited access points would encourage use of the highway, through the gatehouses. Instead, I see more weirdness than before. They'll walk up to the gatehouse, and hang a right, and follow the outer perimeter rather than following the highway straight through to their eventual destination.

I could just fence off the route, but it feels pretty silly. Anyone have tips on getting more friendly pathing?

The game messes with ya on the diagonal on purpose I think.

It makes you really not want to lay them 1x1. Maybe road maintenance just doesn't matter as much as whether your plebs like it tight or open.
