    1. Update v1.6.0f1:

    7. Tourists, commuters, and vacationers now walk along highway shoulders less often when entering or leaving the city.

Pathfinding limits are now tailored per trip type: work, school, shopping, and leisure each use a sensible range rather than a shared near-unlimited cap. Citizens who can't find a viable route now handle it gracefully: move-outs teleport off-map, workers drop their job, and leisure-seekers idle at home before retrying.
