I’ve experimented with the idea in the game Cities Skylines.

Doing this should lower the amount of roads we require, and hence minize road cost.Ī purely hexagonal road tilling means that only 3 roads join at an intersection (instead of a usual four way intersection with square grid), which would increase the safety of the road.

Ideally with road design, we’d want to minimize the amount of road, and maximize the amount of area that the road gets us to.Ī honeycomb hexagonal design maximizes the area, and minimizes the perimeter.
