Looks interesting! I especially like how easy it seems to change roads (like placing a roundabout). The sound barriers are quite cool as well.
The only thing I'm not too happy about is that it seems very car-centric. It looks like a very American city with grid-roads and tons of lanes. But maybe that's just because this feature highlight focused on roads. Who knows.
I mean it was about the road tools so I'm not surprised that it was car-centric. Although I think I saw some kind of pedestrian bridge at around 0:08 and 2:26. It also looks like pedestrian roads are making a comeback. (at 0:08 left side of the video) So I wouldn't worry that much about that.
The new tools look absolutely great. I like the new system where I won't have to put down pipes and electricity myself. Also yeah the roundabout tools look great.
I've also noticed that while the cells are the same size, 8m x 8m the price of the two-lane road is less than in CS 1. In CS1 one cell of two-lane road is 40$ while in CS2 it seems to be 19$. Which makes me wonder what changes they did to the whole economy. But overall yeah, good changes. And can't wait to see what the 4th and 5th feature reveals will look like.
