The core of the problem in this city is that all traffic is routed towards the highways and just a few main roads. The neighbourhoods are to isolated. I did this as well earlier in my ‘career’. Really helps to give traffic many many options. Use a lot of overpasses, tunnels and bridges! Good public transport lines and dont forget about pedestrians.

Highways need to keep moving and require interchanges similar to what you find on U.S. interstates. Even a basic bridge over the highway and having an entry and exit on each side of the highway works MUCH better than having ALL traffic move through a roundabout.

Yeah, in America you got those slip lanes too. You go along a high way, and when there's an exit, that right most lane splits off completely, and the road goes from 4 to 3 lanes.

Nobody: Biffa: THIS CITY NEEDS MORE ROUNDABOUTS

Seems like they have the same approtch as ConflictNerd, in that he cares about the astetics 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and then tries to figure out the logistics if ever.

Hey for those that don't know, you can actually have a road leading straight into a cargo train terminal. Just delete the road in front of it and then have a two-lane road running straight into the doors. It will count as connected, and then the trucks literally don't slow down at all to enter and exit the terminal. It speeds things up massively. These are the kinds of things you learn when you are forced to play cities without mods. It would work with cargo harbors as well if it weren't for that stupid road that it starts out with

Woah a shoutout to Wyoming? What the heck? Yes, Cheyenne installed a few roundabouts about 10 years back, and to this day no one knows how to use them. =(

watching you unclog these huge traffic snarls is as cathartic as watching people unclog giant drains. I can almost hear the toilet flushing noise in my head as all the traffic starts flowing around again.

Watched like 3 of your videos and never ran into traffic errors again !! The four lane highway tactic to allow a slip lane is something I never thought of and it seems to do wonders when traffic is built up on highways

Why isn’t your channel called Biffa fixes roundabouts whilst drinking tea?

9:07 Yeah man... a large portion of the US does the thing where they go down to 2 lanes and the 3rd lane is the slipway.

When you have a ridiculous amount of traffic like that, it means your city is importing goods rather than producing them. Pro tip: build some industry! (or de-zone the oil/coal industry that's importing all the crap.)

LOVE your channel! One thing I see you do a lot is to stop lane changes between on and off ramp which either locks the people getting on the highway to go right off or prevent the people driving on to the interchange from leaving...

Thanks for another great video. 🤗 You even answered my question of using more than one cargo hub today. That should take 10% off my traffic. 😄

the developers should add a sub game rather than bloated broken DLC that teaches road hierarchy and transport networking, like a scenario where you only have limited numbers of each road type and it becomes a puzzle-tutorial. This city had a ton of highway interchanges but no ring roads or main roads connecting things up

Enjoy your videos, sir! As a point... about 9:00 you speak about highways not reducing lanes at exits in the UK... Here in Dallas, Texas, USA, we have cases where they do. You will have four-lane highway approaching an interchange or junction, and one lane will exit, leaving three until the other side, where the on-ramp becomes the fourth lane again. I suppose "They" think that enough traffic will exit so there is no need for the extra lane between, and want to save money or something. Keep up the great work!

I love how you show a little clip in the beginning of the episode showing something funny happening within the game... more of this would add a little flavor to your channel and personality and show the players of the game the unique glitches that happen within the game (i.e. prisoners marching through the sky, a flying Delorina car, or a fast spinning police car stuck in the sky).

More city fixes, my lucky day. Binge watched the whole real time playlist in the last week and still eager for more content.

At some point, this stops being traffic management and turns into Industrial Line Throughput Management. The buffers are good for surges, but the true problem ends up being total throughput at the cargo terminals. If the terminals can only handle 100 units of cargo per unit time, then it doesn't matter how much traffic shenanigans happen back along the line. You get 101 or more cargo units per unit time, it will eventually stack back all the way to source. Thus, adding that extra terminal was critical to clearing the cargo backlog. All in all, the biggest theme I see across a lot of these cities you've fixed is a tendency for players to use giant, high-density 'cells' of zones. If you pack 100 square km of industrial zone to the brim with factories, that's a 100 square km of factories, with all the trucks and employees that go with it. And then someone sticks a cargo terminal or two in some out of the way place on the map? That's asking for trouble. If you have a megacell zone like that, you want a cargo terminal pretty much right on top of it so trucks don't even have to LEAVE the area to go clog up your highways. Just look at the actual layout of major industrial hubs or ports that use rail connections. The rail spurs themselves usually come right into the heart of the area and branch out to individual major facilities. Obviously, we can't exactly do that in CS because the cargo terminal is one monster facility. Conversely, if you do a rail terminal for dispersed industry, it makes sense to set it up as it's own exit off a highway, with one-way flow much like an airport loop (as you did with the new terminal and the buffer). Of course, you're not redesigning their cities. You're taking what cities they've built, and spending time making the traffic system work for them as best you can. And I've definitely applied a few techniques of yours that, while academic in real life, did not click in the game engine until you expressly did it. The highway upgrade to 4-lane for slip lane ramps was one thing. I've seen it enough times here in the States that it's just background noise to my mind, but not something I ever thought about in the game, treating explicit road types like they can't be intermingled. The traffic manager definitely takes that to the next level, allowing me to use small streets for parking lots and other such 'non road' setups, while not having to worry about twenty junctions along a short stretch of road, because I set all those side paths to give way to the main road. Just controlling and shaping road ACCESS unsnarls some otherwise untenable road configurations. Makes me want to send you screencaps to give you ideas for your own fixes.

These traffic fixer-uppers always make my day, and yes, have helped my city. :D

One little suggestion for further fixes, with high congested roundabouts such as the 17:40 with the new cargo hub, you can add a Four lane highway before and after the Cargo Entrance/exit, and use that extra lane to the only one that can be used to get in and get out of the cargo train station with their own lane. Also, could you use the highway one lane slip-road instead off this one lane street to gain more speed (except the section when you put the cargo station), if you have the space for it as on 19:20. I suppose you don't do it on the 17:40 cargo station because of the limited amount of space. But anyway GG men. With you video today we've learned how, even with plenty of highways and junctions to each them, we need to add those extra lanes before the exits (or reduce the next highwaysection at 2 lanes if you have limited space).

I've found that after you've done some major changes, it can help to reset the traffic, because once you reach a certain point, you never end up with the same horrible traffic again.

How to fix your fundamentally wrong traffic system with mods #246.

The ingame system is so meh doe.

The cargo rail stations generate huge amount of HGV traffic. I have three in my 80k city but all have horrendous queue. And all in one line for miles and miles long, through two highway junctions and ramps.

Cargo stations have been almost broken in the way they work since the start. You have absolutely no control over cargo traffic, the cargo station is way too slow in accepting trucks and faster cargo stations apparently aren't possible to to due to how they are coded (considering that mods have changed almost everything, but there is no better cargo station available). It would be nice if you could at least set a cargo station to something like "city internal"/"export" only, or set them to only service the district they are placed in. I wish they would fix that instead of releasing one DLC with similar game mechanics after the other.

@@superdau A noob here, playing my first city using only the stock software bundle with Sunset Harbor, and of the 5 freight stations, it's the one closest to the city center (such as there is) that causes all of the grief. Judicious use of 6 lane One-Way streets and Yield signs prevents total gridlock, but I've learned a few things to map out better in the future, including absolute separation of rail and road rights-of-way NO grade crossings allowed!) for at *least* one train length past either end of the station. Unfortunately, given that this was my first freight station, I didn't know what the train length would be, nor the frequency of the train traffic...

@@chemech Honestly, the simplest solution is KEEP YOUR INDUSTRY SEPARATE FROM YOUR RESIDENTIAL. Have large separate areas specifically for industry and a large separate area specifically for your train depot. If everything is properly planned and organised around those things, traffic is heavy but efficient and not getting in anybody else's way.

I also had to edit the triangular rail junctions to accommodate even longer trains than what I had expected (~8 passenger coaches wasn't long enough) Bottom line - the vanilla game is almost unworkable without a traffic manager, and if you draw the wrong hand with the random number generator, you can have one of your neighbors just bury your city with freight - trucks and trains - even before you get to 35,000 residents

When I first started playing Skylines I thought it was a city building game like simcity. The more I played the more I came to understand that it’s a complex traffic / logistics planning simulator.

Quick tipp: 2 lane highways are enough lol (+ you have more possiblilities of playing with lane numbers). I have 1 going from the main city to the leisure district. Lots of cars (i'm planning to put a trainstation anyway)and it's great to watch :p

I had the problem with this "Horky Borky" Lane switching on an important Highway so I stopped trucks from using the left lane as they don't need to. It worked out very well!

for new Vanilla Players without DLC or Mods, keep this in mind: the way the Traffic works in this game needs you to blind mainly one way roads. Let them drive big distances if needed, cause it doesn't matter if they have to drive longer. The only thing matters is your operative executive stuff like Police or Firetrucks. Because of them you need 6 lane roads, to make Emma bypass the Traffic quick. Make a huge one way around your city and busroads threw the city mixed with 2 lane one roads and try to avoid junctions. If you use roads going into both directions make sure they either end in a roundabout or in a one way 6 lane to the right (depens on left/right sided traffic. If they are still any Traffic lights, switch them of and use a stop sign for the weaker side so the heavy side can move most of the time. Make Sure to keep yellow and blue buildings close to the big roads and use small ones for green.

It's not that "we drive like crazy", it's that you people all drive like James May. Actually, as long as you're quick and decisive with your actions and you're not doing anything really stupid that puts someone in real danger of a crash, Italians are probably the most forgiving bunch on the road. You'll never hear someone honking at you because you (gasp) went over a solid line or did something else forbidden.

I can deal with driving in France & Italy... Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia are problems in the cities... Mainland China??? Fugeddaboudit... Plus, with Chinese "laws" it's just not worth the hassle to get the license - pay a driver / taxi there...

The M40 has those weird junctions. Starts 3 lane, first changes into slip lane and 2 lanes continue. Then after the junction, the slip lane becomes the first lane. Check J4 for an example

Oh I think I've got worse, I thought by using the traffic mod I'd fix my traffic, I made it so much worse I'm not opening the save til I send it off to you 😂😂😂

Nice fix! Another option if you have a junk crap ton of traffic on the highway is to put in a secondary highway, treating the original as a bypass. That way you have a high-speed, high-capacity road around your city for locals to get around and the outsiders who are passing through the area won't bork up your traffic with all the congestion they create. It also keeps trucks delivering stuff locally from your industry clogging up the main highway. There are a lot of places like this in the US where through traffic stays on the main highway and local traffic has their own. Just an idea that may help with all of that.

Every time I watch Biffa fixing a city I feel like there are plenty of better options to improve. - 6:05 Fixing roundabouts that don't need fixing and cutting off walkpaths at the same time. Just let them be. - 7:10 Downgrade the section in between the ramps 3->2 instead of upgrading the sections before the off-ramp 3->4. - 11:07 Open up the entire intersection/roundabout instead of restricting the drivers options. So often they have to circle Biffa's entire cities to get to where they need to go. - 13:33 No need for a roundabout here. Fix the endpoint of their journeys or furthest bottleneck first (in this case the Cargo Station intersection) before chugging in a roundabout. I know it's Biffa, but still. There's room for a larger intersection there as well, with sliplanes coming from East and West merging into 2-lane roads. Don't get me wrong. I love the shows and I'm learning a lot. It just seems too overcomplicated to me

“You don’t go from 3 lanes to 2 lanes”( 9:09 ) Kwinana Freeway: allow me to introduce myself😌

You've changed...Lane Mathematics! Love watching old Biffa fixes now and again.

They almost always add extra slip lanes in the US as well. Only on very low traffic highways or when highways merge into other larger highways do we have lanes just disappear. It might work in the game but IRL it's a pretty big safety concern to just have the lane you're in turn into grass lol.

whenever biffa says " you know what, i'm not gonna do a roundabout" i just think "yeah, and we're come back to this junction with an edit saying "yeah, roundabout here" lol

Having chunks of buildings connected by highways has been proven NOT to work because in order to get anywhere in the city they NEED to get on a highway. I don’t know why people keep designing cities like this.
