I know a bunch of us bought SC4 in the sale a few days ago including Rexy, Political and myself. I thought i'd bring this mod to your attention:

Basically SC4 has a number of transport related issues including limited road/rail tile pieces and extremely stupid AI path-finding.
With regards to the AI path-finding, Simoleons will cut through streets and roads by-passing larger roads like avenues and highways in order to take the "shortest" route through the city as opposed to the quickest/most efficient, congesting your residential areas and overlooking public transport such as bus and rail.
After a little querying over on the official forums about certain game issues they forwarded me to this: It is pretty much a community made game patch to fix 90% of Sim City's bugs and problems.
