I started off not wanting to make a LEGO city with my modular buildings. Mostly due to the fact that the old road plates took up so much room. When I tried out these new road plates: it was a blessing. I immediately went back to get more. The only problem I had was that the plate was a bit taller than the modular buildings sidewalk. It was an easy problem to solve using spare pieces.

These road plates solves more problems for me than they create, the only issue I really have with them is corners, but if you can get past the 90 degree angles corners are achievable.

Recommendation: yes by Chris (TBB Managing Editor)

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 great, and perhaps most importantly, is much closer to the core LEGO building experience than baseplates ever were. When or if LEGO completes the system with curves, I can see little reason for anyone to use the old baseplates again, apart from those who've already got a big collection of them and use them for convenience. If you're wondering if you should go ahead and buy some of the new road plates, the answer is an unequivocal yes.

Recommendation: meh by Tim Johnson

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 owned and used by AFOLs. They also offer MOCing potential for ideas which are not their intended purpose. For the KFOL market, I believe these new road plates will provide a more stable and flexible play experience and are far less likely to get bent or snapped when they are cleared into the toybox in a hurry.

Recommendation: meh by Huw

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 case with some in the 2021 assortment, reduce the number of other parts in them in order to meet a particular price point.
