I know plenty of roads near me particularly in urban settings which have been reduced from national speed limit to 50mph for large sections. If you have a lot of slip roads in quick succession with a lot of vehicles merging and changing lanes reducing the speed limit can help improve traffic flow by reducing the concertina effect you get with people tailgating and then braking hard which then ripples back to the people who are tailgating the tailgater etc. 10mph might be pushing it though :P

The two biggest things you did that positively affected traffic flow were installing the highway ramps and installing the metro.

I think it was just a classic case of stage freight and nerves. Biffa doesn't really stream live and was doing a double whammy in the form of a competition of the best Cities Skylines streamers AND it was his speciality. Traffic. He was doomed to fail. A good example is a professional footballer who in practice scores amazing penalties but when it comes to the crunch, they fumble. It's something overcome with experience. Biffa was approaching it spot on initially but then regressed into a similar tactic of the others (throwing roads everywhere) and adding tons of ferries, which caused more issues than it solved. Next time this won't be a problem for sure.

What is more surprising is RT found a way to out-exploit Spiff and technically won this challenge. Just imagine if RT didn’t do that Biffa will face spiff in the end…

As in real life, the best way to reduce traffic is discouraging the use of it's main cause: cars. Public transport and bike lanes are a must, also with zone politics to encourage both.

I thought on the day of the competition that the Ferry's were a weird choice ahead of Metro, as they can move so many more Cyms. Well done for having another go at it. The Ferry's not connected at the end was not something I noticed, but very funny. They looked impressive anyway. ;-) lol

Your method is a more patient method, and because of that you're able to make things proper. I don't blame you for getting anxious, it's the timer. A lot of us city builders arent exactly edge-of-the-seat/thrill-seeking gamers lol

Too true!

It looks like you need another entrance to the city/exit to highway, especially for that industrial zone located deep inside the city on the islands. Since you have only 1 highway connection (to the outside the city), the importing/exporting trucks are gonna mix up with commute, deliveries, service vehicles and all the other traffics traveling inside the city. I think that's why those industrial buildings are abandoned after failing to sell the goods they've produced (or having not enough raw materials imported).

This map is called "Honu Island" in case anyone is wondering -- One of my top 5 maps from C:S Also my first, fresh attempt after watching 100 or so of Biffa's Fix your cities. I graduated with flying colors I might add. Funny what a nice difference my monorail + bus loops stopping at those monorail terminals did. When you're on the clock, it's much harder to concentrate, and many tricks/options just won't do. Also, you really need to resume "fix your city" on your channel tho... I mean... My first map ever is in the bin for you to rage on as well so I do have a stake in the series continuing :p

Hello Biffa, as a traffic planer i can tell you reducing the speed of a road isnt an exploit really. Capacity of roads increases with slower speeds cause distance decreases between vehicles and hence density increases.

@DeadlyDan

This is true BUT you COULD NOT reduce the speed to this amount on a highway. It would be catastrophic in terms of accidents. In the real world if a highway has an accident they usually have a phased reduction in speed limit along with electronic signage (In the UK at least). In big expanses where there is little to no traffic people naturally speed up (and yes, ignore speed limits - by a vast amount), when it comes to the higher volume areas the highway will not clear traffic quick enough at this speed and pose a significant risk for those coming up the highway at a great speed. What this game does not simulate is human ego, road rage and survival instincts. People do not even overtake or undertake.

LOL absolutely GOLDEN (35:57) realising after the timer the big cock up of not connecting the ferry stops "well let's not talk about that" how well THAT would have gone down during the comp'

Good morning Biffa 😊 You inspire me when I have a traffic problem, most of your tips I try to adapt into my city and it works! thanks man.

I think i just noticed something at 31:33 Thanks to that one-way road, the top right part of the city has no more way for cims to leave (except the metro). so that of course would reduce traffic a lot.

fancy intersections, node adjustment tools and even specific extra roads may help get that few % but it really does come down to the traffic fix staples: 1. properly set up roundabouts 2. dedicated turning and merging lanes 3. reducing amount of cars (metro loops and cycling/walking paths are perfect for this)

Some things I would have done differently: 1 - Extend the spur freeway to the bridge and over the roundabouts you put in 2 - Put an intermediate interchange on the same freeway to connect the neighborhoods across from each other 3 - Extend as many dead end streets to connect up at both ends 4 - Cut through blocks to provide interconnectivity 5 - Build another bridge to the mainland and connect to the freeway there I guess by know you know I hate cul-de-sacs!

How about a verson of this competition where a city skyline version of those disaster cities have to be fixed by the contenders with losing as few buildings as possible. Say: start with 100 points, lose a point for every building lost. If you lose no buildings get an extra 100; lose more than 100, lose an additional 100. Get 50 points per place up for traffic percentages. Put in a fixed speed limit per road type, so no fenegeling there..

When you added the highway exit roundabout with the game running you had a huge amount of the congestion on the highways despawn. This was visible at the broken end of the highway while you built the roundabout and is what got you into the 70% range so quickly. Still, good effort and I was glad to see another city fix video on your channel!

Perfect! Exactly what I wanted to see! Thank you Biffa 😊 👏👏👏

I'm so excited to see you revisit this challenge! Really had fun during the live! 😍🍵

I think that if you managed to not let the panic take control over you and spend 2-5 minutes taking a look at the city, the roads layout and used the in-game tool to check where people wants to move to, then you'd realize the highway was cutting the city in 2 and that in order to travel everyone had to go through the same point, then you'd add the extra roads that were missing to connect the different part of the cities and islands. Unless, of course, I didn't understand completely the exercise and what can and cannot be done. Anyways, biffa, you are and will be the grand traffic fix master! Everyone has a bad day, is just learn how to handle different situations that makes us who we are. Cheers and thanks for your videos!

I was laughing watching RT streams doing this, I can't remember exactly what he did but I remember him just randomly adding and deleting roads in a chaotic fashion 🤣 he probably just added enough alternate routes everywhere that it cleared.

Oh man! you didn't connect ferry station roads to main road, people weren't able to reach ferry stop without paths and roads.! BTW, you did amazing job.!

Well done. That was tense and fun to watch

I learned so much from these challenges. I'm excited to start a new city to apply what I've learned.

I suspect you whacked one of the metro stations, the one with the most riders, with a bicycle connection. A super do over. Loved it! 👍👍👍

That is why we should always be aware of our mental state, and then stay focused, organised, do not think too far ahead because prior things will change the context for which we make projects, so we lost time thinking too much ahead. The best way to organise thoughts and not waste some focus time is to sort problems into 3 categories : solvable now, solvable later, unsolvable. Trash the unsolvable and live with them, do first the solvable now, then start on the solvable later. This is how I passed an oral exam with flying colours while I arrived 30mn late completely soaked wet because I had a car accident coming and it was pouring like hell, my knee was hurting... but well I knew my stuff... the body is waterproof and cars are just material ... normal life !! I probably did even better than if it was boring normal, because I had no time to stress about the exam, strangely I was amazingly relaxed, I had nothing to loose.

Have you considered making your own "mini" challenges for your viewers? That could be a lot of fun, not to mention it would be really interesting to see how others solve problems

Well, motorway inside the sea??? Is this Biffa, you would fight against? It doesn't worth. We all like your voice and your gaming. You are the best teacher. Don't worry about a silly competition.

One exploit you could totally use is just using traffic manager to essentially create a one way network. If drivers don't actually have a choice what way to turn most of the time it drastically reduces congestion, at the cost of their trip becoming a labyrinth, but traffic flow doesn't care about that. A cheap optimisation you could have made here would just be to ban parking on roads with high amounts of traffic though, especially near your roundabouts. Parking just kills traffic sometimes.

But wow, without the pressure of the tournament you had Spiff's score beaten by the halfway point. Shows what a difference competition can make to a mindset!

Just to share, 'cause I know Biffa felt disappointed on the Redbull Traffic Challenge: (I think) What happened was that Biffa is focusing on fixing the traffic, making it work with its current road network, without adding unnecessary roads (like Highway Bridges on the ocean, like what the others did; hell of an expense, and really doesn't make sense for a realistic functioning city); either, upgrading, adding or removing connections, and even adding a Ferry system. And watching his videos made me think that with his way of 'fixing traffic' (meticulous and realistic) cannot really make the cars ride smoothly in under 30 minutes, considering many factors like road traffic, car volume, road sizes, etc. I highly praise Biffa ❤️

I would have done much of the same expect also add a second highway connection via the island where you have the opportunity to intersect with the highway.

good video Biffa 👍, the only thing I would maybe add is a few road maintenance depots? ( and connect the ferry's up to the roads 😂 )

I would have connected the lumber yard to the highway directly by building a new bridge, and I would have made some neighborhood connections by building out some streets under the elevated highway (such an easy opportunity to improve access). I would have built just 1 new highway connection interchange near the city border.

Much more like your usual traffic fix. I watched this live and felt gutted for you. But even if you did this on the night and got your usual 82%, you still would have been third ;) Congrats on winning that night though. Great competition, I hope there's more coming!

16:40 "Hopefully I'm not missing any stops here". Immediately misses a stop 😂

Your live fix was nervewracking for everyone I think... That moment you went like "Oh I'll just bridge with land" I was like oh nononononono don't don't don't you know what's gonna happen don't it don't hahaha. The tournament was really fun and you absolutely nailed the fix in this one :) .

I love it when Biffa says: "Bllliiiwhafffalllawahafajslsblglfhgah!!" 😂👌

You're a wonderful chap. Your city building and traffic management skills are exemplary. Spiff however is perfectly balanced, with no exploits. Powered by Yorkshire tea, he's a delightful sausage and nigh omnipotent. No one begrudged you your loss.

I think that in a challenge like this, you have to go against your nature. As an example, ferries are very good, but they take a fair bit of time to create and don't always bring results right away. This time going to metros right away is a big step in getting people out of cars and into public transit. That is a great move and gets you going the right way very quickly. It also calms down some of the red areas in the traffic as well. You may have also considered an interchange on the income road at the island near the bottom, connecting directly to the right most island. You may be able to create a sort of ring road that would encourage people to go at least in part the other direction instead of through the middle to get to the highway. Overall, I think the winning move here is the metros. You got the most bang for your buck in a very short amount of time.

As I said on Twitter: work accidents happen under pressure. You won in the end, you can fix traffic, it's all fine now :)

Honestly, as a engineer from the USofA, The main roundabouts could've been replaced by a freeway continuing onto the islands, where it terminates. Then, the main roundabouts could stay, but would have on/offramps for smoother flow, bypassing the chaos in the downtown area. Also, another main road through the industry island could've maybe done the trick.

I have actually been waiting for this ever since I saw the stream ;)

With the extra time I probably would have changed the highways around a bit, I much prefer using two lanes for the main sections myself and only going up to 3 for lane mathmatsics on the interchanges

Hi, I would also like to know if this is available for download? I'd love to give it a try.

I think there were traffic lights, just on the left side of the traffic circle, before heading to the island. Where you put in a slip lane. That slowed down traffic a bit

I would have made the roundabout into a diamond interchange to a traffic circle below, but with the bypass ramp you built, it probably would have been equivalent to what you did. I also don't know what would occur further ahead after the diamond interchange...

I'd say you more than redeemed yourself, well done :) Time pressure is a killer that's why we all like relaxing, chill games like Cities Skylines. Heh.. xD

CPP pointed out on his discord that the reason Spiff got such a high number quickly is that the traffic info panel measures flow, and as slower roads are going to have more flow because the cars are always moving, it rates them higher. More cars on the road that can keep moving, all the time, as Spiff realised that the red only came from the cars not moving.

I think that adding the metro somewhat early on made a difference to how much traffic you had at that point. Also noticed you did the alternate side (which you did not in the competition).

Heya Biffa! The very first thing I would have done would have been to add additional highway access points.

During half of the video i was like "connect the ferries" but at least you realised it in the end, but too late to fix it.

Now I wanna know what the % would've been had the ferries been connected. But you've definitely made up since the competition.

My only thoughts: 1. The sheer number of cul-de-sacs: it looks like they specifically set them up to be ALMOST connected. 2. Bike lanes - although it looks like there at the end the bike highway only pulled people from the metro, as opposed to driving, so it may have been diminishing returns at that point. 3. Heh - yeah, connect he ferries properly. I honestly thought you knew something about ferries, that people could get to them without being connected to roads, or something. 4. Busses - which you managed to get in at the end, but the cul-de-sacs prevented having more useful routes, I think. 5. Tunnel under the highway so that it doesn't split the city in half? Honestly, it looked like most of the traffic issues there at the end wouldn't have been solved by mass transit: I think it was more freight and simple busyness of those main intersections.

Well, the issue is that the traffic is bottlenecking since there's only 1 reliable connection to each part of town. Like the highway exit roundabout you made, that's the only thing connecting the left and right parts of the main city. Perhaps adding a couple of roads that connect the 2 separate parts of town would spread the traffic more evenly; and maybe a few more bridge connections to the other islands while you're at it. Notice how the metro lines alleviates this issue because cims can travel to the other sides of town without interruption. Also I would have extended the highway straight up until the industrial area so that trucks can get onto the highway quickly without having to cut through the other zones. Perhaps you can get the traffic to 85+% if you did that. At any rate I was amazed you can solve this quickly, roundabouts and laning priorities are indeed strong tools for traffic fixing. But I understand you're getting pressured by the timer; I probably would have done worse myself lol. Nevertheless, good work Biffa and cheers~

I feel like you tried to fix this map before! I remember because you had issues with the bridges, you upgraded them and people couldn’t use them.

well, at least my ocd-traits are satisfied that you did, in the end, notice the ferries weren't connected to any roads.... :) a touch too late, but, better than never. I'd say it's a win in my redemptions book, absolutely! :D

I might have made one continuous road from the highway + main road towards the industry. (For example with a bridge over a roundabout.) But the slip road seems to be working too. The rest I would probably have done more or less the same :)

Thought this was sipsalulu for a second and was like "No one can fix Sips' traffic problems, not even Biffa."
