In new street additions, Sabinas and Pinheiro both fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Kapatagan built increasingly disconnected streets over time. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Notably, Sabinas had a more sprawly network than Pinheiro in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
