Random underground road. Can't Delete

[KingyBear]

Anything like this happen to anyone? It's a road that has spawned from my exchange, half way around my map, then back again. Cars drive on it but I can't delete it.

Its beyond weird, and ruined my map. I went back to my 1st save and it was there!!!

Do you think this is from a mod glitch/conflict or a game glitch?

If I load the orignal Save it uses over 4 GB of vRAM but on my last save it uses 500 MB. All the mods are the same.

There was a few dicussions about this several days ago, I found one discussion about it but couldn't find the other one. Here's one link but no resolution to the problem....

Also, in another thread they mentioned this utility mod to remove phantom lanes, I don't know if it can save your city .... :/

I gave the Phantom Lane Remover a try but it didn't detect anything :(

Just another reason to save more often.

Ok, there's one thing that just came to my mind, worth a shot in the dark ...

In the view menu (upper left), there are only two views that don't allow you to bulldoze roads, the Water and Transport views. Perhaps the odd road is tagged as one of these types of structures. Open those views and then hit the bulldoze key and see if the road is selectable with the bulldozer.

I haven't seen this problem but I've been playing for a month on mostly vanilla. I don't use Cloud and I don't auto-save. Perhaps one of those saving methods is breaking saves, I don't know :/.

EDIT : You can also try to open all the views one-by-one and see if a particular view will allow you to bulldoze, again, just a thought.

Select the road tool. Go underground with it. Get your buldoser and destroy it.

It cant be selected and deleted by that way sometimes, the roads even has no nodes.

Have you tried using Move It! as it has a marquee selection ability that lets you aelect everything you drag click on and then uae its own delete function to remove the offending nodeless bit of road?

i just ran into this, i bulldozed it by turning off toggle snapping in game, and it easily deleted it.... dont know where or how it happened, and dont know if it will come back...

This post is very old, but for anyone reading this in 2022, here is how I fixed a very similar issue of mine. Phantom Lane Remover mod was not useful because the network was not "hidden" or "invalid" as far as the game rendering think. No, it was simply incredibly distorted, potentially due to some glitch with a road anarchy utility.

Fortunately, I was able to see one the defective node. I could not delete it, but could extend the road from it. When I tried to extend the road from this defective node, with anarchy mod OFF, I could see the whole distorted road highlight in red. Going almost across the map. I then took Move It, grabbed the node, and moved it closer to the end of the red path, which was the other glitched out node.

When close to each other, the 2 nodes started behaving slightly more normally and the road reappeared. Except one node was going so deep, my FPS dipped in the single digits just looking at the narrow hole in the map! I created a damn black hole in C:S. I know, crazy. Please note that this hole did not made the node/segment getting classified as "underground". It was "over ground", but digging itself past the rendering of the game (speculative).

It's very hard to describe and I don't have any screenshots. Anyway. Very long story short; From there, I deleted the segment - and its 2 nodes deleted along with it - with the vanilla game's bulldozer tool and everything seemed to be fixed afterward.

I couldn't try and replicate this monstrosity even if I wanted to.
Cheers.

I encountered this problem today. Cellnav's old post from 2015 did the trick: I could demolish the road in the Water menu

Hi guys,
So apparently I was a victim to this bug too.
As suggested above the Move It mod and its marquee selector was the true savior as Phantom Lane Remover did not help.
So in my case I have had a couple of these mangled roads. parts were visibly foating above the terrain, some were underneath.
I knew the road segments are some short piece of road stretched and mangled around the whole map.
First, I was able to identify a node of one of them and delete it.
That was the easy part. For the rest I did this
1) zoomed out, as zooming out helps to manifests these elements.
2) i've set up Move It to select segments only
3) selected huge area where this elemet was visible.
4) I could see that Move It mod picked up someting huge and curved.
5) I've fidled with the selection to select as little of other segments as possible
6) unselected those segments which I wanted to keep and deleted my abomination

problem solved. Hope this helps to someone in the future
