Traffic areas are used to manipulate the movements of dwarves. Traffic areas can be designated as high, normal, low or restricted. When walking from one point to another, dwarves consider these designations in finding the shortest path.

For example, a dwarf will choose a 14 tile high traffic route (14*1=14) over a 3 tile low traffic route (3*5=15).[Verify]
