In new street additions, Proddatur fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Ratnagiri built increasingly disconnected streets over time and Mérida built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Proddatur and Ratnagiri have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
