Additional Service Vehicles?
Hi, I have found that my City contains additional service vehicles from ploppable buildings that I have subsequently removed or have been destroyed. Specifically, the buildings that have service ve...

I would think you're right - the vehicles are Police, Garbage Trucks, Recycling Trucks and Municipal Buses. All the types of Vehicles that don't necessarily stay at their home building.
I attempted to remove the road, as suggested, but the offending vehicles skip on to the next piece, like the regular traffic does. There were also a few trucks stuck in building car parks and removing the building just forced them on to the road.

I hadn't thought of that. I suppose once the building is closed, the employees aren't going to work with their employment shut down so will return to the garage and go home?
Although, I wasn't entirely to blame because just last night a Giant Lizard walked through my Police Station and Municipal Bus Terminal. I now have 6 Police Cars and TWENTY-FOUR!!! Municipal Buses driving around doing nothing. 😠
Omg, Noooo! Evil rotten lizard lol
I hate that lizard! Fyi, he's going for your garbage dump. Depending on where he spawns, he can destroy half a map on his way. You can sometimes minimize the damage. Next time, if you see him appear, pause the game, and plop a new garbage dump in his path. He will go for the dump closest to him, and at least you won't have pollution due to destroying the dumps along with the other rebuilding.
I hope your orphaned vehicles get tired of driving around the city and eventually leave. What a pain!
So do I...in a City that is already plagued badly with traffic!
- A thought - try repairing the game, that might get rid of the orphaned vehicles.
Exit the game, then in Origin, right-click the SimCity icon, choose "Repair".
If that doesn't work, you could try SimCity Recovery - default location C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\SimCity\SimCityRecovery
Run SimCityRecovery.exe "As Administrator" from the file location. Don't try using any menu shortcuts, they point to some online help file that no longer exists.I shall try repairing it this evening and let you know the result.
Regarding your alternative solution of SimCity Recovery...will that lose me any of my save data?
