cars on roads

So ea how about letting us place cars on roads like parking meters can on sidewalk.

Would make our town look cooler

It would be good, I agree, but those two things are not the same. Characters can (and do) also go on the sidewalk. It looks to me as though the game is setup so that only one object can be in any square, and that the road is an object, as is the parking lot, while the sidewalk is defined as a non-object (which allows signs and characters to go on it.

The grass and concrete appear to be just a change of colour/texture, which is why you can place buildings/cars/decorations on those squares.
