In new street additions, Vizianagaram fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Valladolid built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved and Ciudad Obregón built increasingly disconnected streets over time. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Vizianagaram and Valladolid have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
