1 year ago The culprit is the TMPE handling of the Old Town policy which creates a penalty in pathing for seemingly all vehicles, which in combination with those roads and distances exceeds the max and causes a pathing failure.
Please read how old town policy works and what are possible use cases - what you should expect after applying it.
It's not TM:PE feature and the mod does not change how it works. Penalty is purely vanilla thing and as you've noticed it affects a lot of vehicle types. Recent change is also not a fix although might be considered a such especially if you don't know the policy use case. The change just disables penalty for buses and taxi so they behave like they were not in Old town district so it helps in certain scenarios - they are not allowed in vanilla.

Summary: Only apply Old Town to touristy cars.
Buildings on zoneable pedestrian roads from the NEXt2 replacement pack may wind up with pathing issues and thus lack of service, deathcare in particular.
This is not a problem of the roads themselves, though the fact that they are slow and have an internal structure that resembles 2 distinct one lane roads (try putting bus stops on them and you will know what I mean) compounds it.
The culprit is the TMPE handling of the Old Town policy which creates a penalty in pathing for seemingly all vehicles, which in combination with those roads and distances exceeds the max and causes a pathing failure.
Disabling Old Town (or TMPE) or exchanging the road with "normal" one fixes the issue.
I'd posit that the recent bus/taxis "Old Town" fix is the the wrong approach, since not only is the default off and thus leading to buses not working in (for most users) incomprehensible ways but also as this example shows would only lead to more and more exceptions, whereas Old Town only affecting touristy cars is the expected behavior.
