The Brothers Brick
“The new road plate system is long overdue and is a welcome addition to LEGO City. If they continue to be regularly added into City sets, you'll quickly amass enough of them to build a great layout, even if you don't get any starter packs. The system is versatile, looks... More great, and perhaps most importantly, is much closer to the core LEGO building experience than baseplates ever were.”

New Elementary
“It is going to be a big investment to switch over a whole city layout to the new system, but in doing so, you can claw back some valuable table space for buildings and other features, while the new system is still compatible with the Modular buildings and MILS plates widely... More owned and used by AFOLs.”
Full review at www.newelementary.com
Brickset
“The system is a vast improvement over the old road plates, in particular it's much more flexible and can be configured in myriad ways. However, inch-for-inch it must be more expensive, which is likely to push up the price of the sets that include it, or, as seems to be the... More case with some in the 2021 assortment, reduce the number of other parts in them in order to meet a particular price point.”

About City Traffic

Traffic is the everyday side of LEGO City, the cars, trucks and service vehicles of ordinary city life, and it started in 2007 with working vehicles such as a cement mixer, a recycling truck and a heavy hauler. Garbage trucks, tow trucks, car transporters and campers come back every few years, and food trucks have become a habit, from pizza vans to an ice-cream truck. The road itself changed in 2021, when 60304 Road Plates brought in snap-together road plates that took over from the printed road baseplates LEGO had made for decades. LEGO's own delivery vans and trucks have also turned up as sets, in the company's red and yellow colours.

Traffic was introduced in 2007 and currently consists of 103 sets. As of today, 7642 Garage is the most valuable Traffic set with an estimated new/sealed value of $364.
