European style narrow roads as found in older cities.

As for the set, it's pretty decent looking, specially for a Billund design
and quite refreshing after years of junior stuff. And don't forget, adding
more types of parts would drive up cost even more (easier to add a few more
similair bricks than adding some more different bricks due to logistics)
