In new street additions, Shofirkon and Rayadurg both built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved, while Čačak built increasingly disconnected streets over time. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Notably, Shofirkon had a more connected network than Čačak in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
