Roads without zoning

[Genalyn]

is it possible to turn off zoning when building roads in CS2 as it was in the end of CS?

Highway roads don't have zoning, but you need to unlock those first. Not sure if there's a toggle for normal roads tbh.

I would just ignore zoning for roads you dont want zoned.

The issue is the lack of control you have over the zoning, which is a pain in the butt, needing to use the path tool to change and manipulate them.
This does need a mod for sure.

No, but there is a workaround.

1) Place the road(s) that you do want to have zoning. Zone something and wait for building to start (they don’t need to finish, just starting construction is enough)

2) Place the road you don’t want to have zoning. When two roads have overlapping zoning, a road that already has active buildings will keep its zoning intact. You can even rezone the road that has the zoning and it will retain its priority (not sure if you can dezone, have not tried).

Alternatively, use Pedestrian Walkways to deny zoning to certain roads. Can always demolish them once the zone builds facing the road you want them to.

I use pedestrian walkways to turn off the zoning of roads I won't build on.

I'm using pedestrian roads as workaround to manipulate zoning, but C: S2 may change zoning back later sometimes, so building will be destroyed again. It's very frustrating because I can't create seamless compact building zones.
We really need some functionality which were brought by mods like "Zoning Adjuster" to C: S1.

Also the big holes in zones on curves are frustrating me too.
