It depends. The rules tend to be fairly specific about zones being accessible on foot first and foremost. There are none on roads. There are some rural zones, but generally where there is something to see. You can still make suggestions, but I think they're working through a big backlog so you will wait a while for feedback and/or your zones being added.
As annoying as it is to wander housing estates, the through-paths are generally accessible on foot to locals. It's us dafties putting in big rides that are ruining it for everyone else
Aforementioned carpetbagger massively overextended himself today, and will now be off the bike for the next few days. I imagine most of my new territory will be lost before I can face the bike again. 40 miles is not a long bike ride but when it's constant suburban stop-start it really does a number on your stamina.
You should try to conquer all of Barrhead... apart from the dams, those are mine, even if I don't currently hold them.
That's one of the reasons why I attacked way out east; the person who took the dams is the same person who swept in behind me the other day in Pollok Park; they had a lot of territory out by Clarkston, which they are recapturing as we speak
