I also live in York, in England

Having lived and worked in York for 14 years around the early 2000's I can honestly say I don't miss the traffic. The only time the traffic seemed to flow well was when there was a power cut and all the traffic lights stopped working!!!!

Thank you to Spicymagnum for doing their lane mathematics and other traffic engineering options prior to sending it in for the fix; it makes it a better and more novel watch.

At 6:19, setting the turning lanes on that intersection kind of defeats the purpose of the slip lane. Take out the left turn completely that is replaced by the slip lane and prevent the cars from crossing over at that point.

@protoculturejunkie

What he really should have done would have been to use the lane tool to force the traffic that turned left to stay in the left lane and then take the next left. That would then cause the traffic wanting to go straight to start using the slip lane, and allowed traffic from the opposite direction to use both the turn and straight lanes.

17:19 everytime you use that little trick, my first thought is "well, you prevent people from the left lane to exit the highway at that point". In some scenarios you have a merge, leading to some trick nodes, leading to a split, and people merging in from the right can only reach the middle of the road, so they can never take the left branch. They need to go in the other direction, turn around and come back to be on the left lanes in the first place to get that branch.

A bit of city critiquing on my part. You see at 00:22 a completely seperated part of the city on the left. Only way in is through the roundabout, only way out is driving in a completely different direction. That is the most common and the most impactful mistake i see a lot of cities skylines players do. The Effect that seperated islands only connected by Highways have is that 1: Everyone is forced to drive 2: Everyone is forced to drive through one Highway. Have more connections. That will spread out the load and give more choice on how to drive to your citizens. This will lessen the traffic load. And also have Roads with bicycle paths or at least roads with sidewalks. Highways have neither. That means your citizens will take the car. If you give them the option to walk or to cycle, they will do it. Also do a bit of mixture of zoning. Like noone is going to drive 5 miles to get a loaf of bread if there are other options. Have a bit of commercial zoning next and in between residential.

I did the same thing with my TM:PE, changed "stay in lane" to Shift+S for exactly the same reason. It was annoying when all of a sudden roads wouldn't snap.

Great video Biffa! I love this series, can't wait for the next one.

Woke up today and thought “today would be a great day to watch some biffa” and biffa said “let it be so”

All those abandoned buildings were such an eyesore throughout the video

Something I've been testing is a "half circle" so there is no left turns across traffic, few pedestrians messing with traffic, and so far it seems to be working decently.

Great video. Your videos have really helped me keep my city moving as I grow it. 😊👍

Every time I watch I learn something new about the mod's I already have... thanks for teaching us a thing or two.

Enjoyable as always, thanks Biffa! Haven't touched the game in about a month, but seeing the pedestrian Bridge builder mod gave me water in my mouth, and I'm hungry to try it out. Making those bridges normally takes me at least 5 mins, and mine don't look nearly as good.

It’s so funny that the city’s called York 3.0, I can’t imagine how much worse the traffic was for the first two attempts. :P Also, I think people should just axe cloverleaves on sight, any other interchange would be smaller and higher capacity at just a small price premium.

At 14:43 that was done to only allow the traffic to move across only one at a time and not cut across everything to go from Lane 1 to 3 and vice versa. I've found in places that can be helpful as traffic cutting across all lanes was causing traffic in the intermediate lanes to slow down and stop. At least I presume so because even though this isn't my city that's _why_ I choose to do it.

As I go back through time, looking at these older videos, I wanted to yell, "Road Hierarchy!" for this one. Our thinking has changed! Now we know that road hierarchy is necessary, and this map lacks it (but not as badly as some). Still fun to watch these oldies!

Great work as always!

That jump the cars had to do to get up that ramp 🤣 how are things like that computable.

One thing I've noticed you don't often add that I find to be very helpful - when a 1-lane highway ramp approaches a roundabout, it makes a big difference to increase that to 2/3 lanes (even only for the node or two before the roundabout). That allows potentially 2-3x more cars to enter the roundabout in each gap in traffic. 15:21 would be a perfect example of this - the roundabout isn't all that busy but the single lane onto the roundabout massively limits the flow

24:00 that's a common mistake. And really, that ought to be something the you could flip in a setting for the cargo hub building. Which gives a thought: have possible entrances & exits on all three non-railway sides. With each side having an A and B street connection - and you'd be able to toggle which you want to be the entry point and which you want to be the exit. Ah, the traffic management possibilities! Time to log onto the Paradox forum and start a thread in the suggestion forum...

these are so satisfying to watch dam

I thought I washaving problems with abandoned buildings on my city but damn! Guess you can say there is York, New York and Ghost York.

24:12 one way i fixed that problem in use an asymmetrical lane with a median. two lane going one way and the only going the other way on the side of the hub. that way you feeding traffic going in one direction and load and unload side has one by itself. granted you'll need space to properly space it out so it doesn't back up on itself.

@8:45 if you've got dedicated turning lanes, you could leave the straight thru going all the time, except when the pedestrians need to cross.

20:10 I thought Biffa would've made a direct leave connection to that highway right above the cargo hub :( Would think that it would have solved many truck backing ups going out again !

I downloaded someone else save file from steam workshop... tried to solve their traffic problems... i managed to solved it from 30% to 85%... IT TOOK ME 8 FREAKING HOURS!!!! IT IS SO DAMN HARD!!! Biffa... you're seriously GODLIKE!!!

9:10 you could also make it 3 lanes coming on to the lights, then 2 lanes dedicated to go straight and that would help get more through

Finally some good old traffic fixes!

Before I watch the video, I want to say: FINALLY A SITY FIX! This is why I became a fan!

nice vid as always. but at 6:40 i think you should have made the two-way road under that slipline straight thru only (since they got that slip lane if they wanna go left). right now they have 2 options to go left with a need to switch on the junction if they wanna just go straight. 16:08 that car with blue trailer just hit a warp speed 1 (top over the RB lane during downgrading) :) edit: oh i see, that jump was the thing giving them a w1 speed (there were few of those lucky cars after that blue trailer one)

Sometimes I try to figure out how some C:S players can do these messes with your cities. I am a (relatively) noob player on the game and my last city (playing it by now) is around 125.000 citizens and 70% traffic flow. And I am trying to figure out a way to get at least 80% (and I get it on another city before but the map is too dificult to expand the city). Without any mods to get the achievements. Yeah, I know the mod that's allow achievements when using mods but I'm trying to master the game first before I go to something more challenging where some mods are indispensable . I learn something new every time I see a video here. But like I said, mods is off the scope at least for now. And keep the great job in your videos, @Biffa. PS: english is not my native language.

I found a lot of my issues have been solved by removing as many left hand turns as possible and using round abouts every 5 intersections for people to turn around in. It's been keeping my traffic at a nice flowing rate of 85%. Also having unlimited speed limit on all my road helps spread everything out. Cims like to move quickly. :D

If it hasn't been done already, someone should create a "Hugo Inc." Road Maintenance building.

That car did a pretty sick jump over the junction at 1:20

I like to watch the population change over the video. Starting out with 97k but losing over 700 people per week, hits a low of around 72k, by the end of the video back up to 97k but gaining over 200 per week.

36 people don't like dedicated turning lanes. Fools! Great Vid as usual, keep up the good work!

When someone sends in a city, and they have used roundabouts and TMPE and there is still a problem then it's probably junctions too close to each other 90% of the time. Really got to have space in between and give people a chance to turn and merge lanes.

8:50 Timed traffic lights help for sure, but you should probably do elevated pedestrian crossings in those areas as well.

That one big jump is similar to something in my city. The is a train station in the suburbs right next to a big hill. The parking lot entrance has something about that steep. It is funny watching the ai floating up😂
