In new street additions, Daye and Pailin both fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Urambo built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. For the full network, Daye fluctuated in connectivity, while Pailin became more connected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then grew more sprawly from 1991-2005 onwards and Urambo became progressively more disconnected. Notably, Daye had a more connected network than Pailin in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
