In new street additions, Martil fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Yanshan built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns and Baniarapara fluctuated in its street-construction patterns. For the full network, Martil became progressively more disconnected, while Yanshan became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards and Baniarapara became progressively more disconnected. Notably, Martil had a more connected network than Baniarapara in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
