steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1775594889 From this point on about 100.000 people die, and my economy crashes. I don't know how to avoid this. I play on a potato, so if you could avoid using too many mods, I'd appreciate it, as I am not able to run mods. In addition my Metro and Rail Network is a total mess, and I feel the ~80% traffic flow is a lie. Help me, Biffa, my city is dying. ps. if you have any tips for draining out the remaining river so I can fit the chirpX launch site, I'd appreciate it.

Every time I see a video like this I don't understand it. I don't understand the way some people play and why they end up resorting to others to solve their own problems in a game that is about solving problems... It seems that neither one really wants to play the game. The fun of creating a city is just to create a city yourself and not resort to another to redo what you did wrong. It's like I'm playing chess and at some point saying: "Hey KZread friend, I can not win this game and I'm about to lose, this guy is really good and I need help to beat him."... Then comes the KZread friend, makes some moves and leaves the board to the point of checkmate. I return to the board, and in a couple of moves I achieves checkmate. Then I feel good about myself for winning... WTF!!!

You'd be better off walking to your destination in that area

This city started with 39.000 people and ended up with 74.000!

With that turbine interchange, I always replace where there's two off ramps merging with a two lane highway to mitigate that jam up. Then I usually do two lane and Two lane into 4 lane.

At 7:44 you could've changed the turn into a right turn only. So all of those peeps would use the roundabout to do a U-turn

I like that you're doing lane REDUCTIONS on this map, rather than just bumping up lane count before exits and after on ramps. Reducing lanes can be just as effective (in this game) for managing traffic. Have you seen a mod that can provide a traffic counter for a selected road segment? It would be nice to know things like "cars per day" or "cars per week" similar to what we get for metro stations. Great video! *sip o' tea*

Really amazing how it helps and how much it's used around my country irl but it feels so weird to use in that game.

7:42 the smal road could stay connected and turn right only. If they want to turn left they have to use the roundabout.

Wouldn't the "sponge" for the cargo area be more beneficial for the incoming traffic rather than the outgoing traffic? I would think the outgoing you would want to get out onto the roads as quick as you could and the incoming would be more of a build up. Although, I suppose it wouldn't much matter if they leave as quick as they come.

Thanks to you and your tips, my glorious city of "FirstTry" (yeah, I suck at naming things) recovered from 23% of traffic flow to now 87%. It just took a grand total of 6 roundabouts, some traffic managing, one "bypass" street for the farmers to the cargo station, and two hours full of cursing and fiddling around.

I just had to like, the first 3 minutes were glorious with the crazy flyng police car!

Those highway ramps... Terrible! Glad you fixed them eventually lol

@16:21 I had the same issue with that interchange, but a quick fix makes it very viable, I added two-lane only too the connecting roads as the two lanes into one bottleneck was then eliminated. then doing the usual four-lane upgrade and lane managing the exits into separate lanes giving two for the thru traffic. I also downgraded the three-lane crossover points to two lanes, flows beautifully now.

Hey, Biffa. Love your videos. I realized one thing you could do for the cargo terminal feeder fix you did that would reduce the impact of your changes. You could use the traffic manager to make the outside lane of that original 6-lane road a "dedicated" one. It's similar to how highway off-ramps get a run-off lane, so that thru-traffic ignores that outside lane and keeps on going past. I don't know if that's an optimal solution or not, but it seemed like this was a good use case for that, especially since the city did not have infinite money active.

The number one tip should be: "Get the traffic mod". Without that the game is close to useless.

I play on console and traffic manager is not an option but my traffic is constantly above 83% and more. I've had many completed cities with traffic flow at 85% or more even. It definitely can be done without traffic mod but it takes alot of playing time and also KZread is full of how to videos of traffic management including one's without traffic mod. Obviously traffic mod makes it alot easier and if I had the choice to have it I probably would use it just for the fact of that is the only way you can make cars use just certain lanes without manipulating the roads. Other than that with the right planning traffic management can be done without traffic mod. It does take alot of playing time and watching videos to get good with traffic without mods.

Indeed!

Have a two-lane road going directly into the doors of cargo stations, rather a one way road that runs parallel. It's much faster, the trucks do not need to slow down at all to enter and exit the cargo station, and it connects up just fine. It's a little finicky placing it in exactly the right spot so that the trucks can drive in a perfectly straight line, but once you got it your cargo station traffic will move much much much faster

A big thumbs up from me, well done fixing the traffic.

1:01 using this map would make it a little easier to explain this one I think, the road that comes from the south seen from this perspective could use a additional change. The T-crossing in there may need to change to a 4-way crossing. This way you could use the new road to connect to the city block on the east side of that highway as well. It would give a additional way for the people that wish to go there or leave from there. I notice you added only slip lanes to that area if I payed well enough attention (sorry, had surgery yesterday and still rather fuzzy before my eyes, haha) 15:55 That roundabout type (steam workshop item) is indeed a bit odd. Yes it will need a update to make it work a lot better. But aside from that it really isn't the worst I see on the steam workshop by far, this one is actually one of the better ones even but far from perfect.

Its actually quite a nice city layout

Bahaha, downloaded a map that asked for Biffa to fix it. Thought I'd have a go at it. Meanwhile, the traffic situation went down all the way to 3%... there's traffic everywhere! lol May end up changing the whole darned city lol

A thing that I learn from here (and like every German city) is that less lanes are often more.

I've learned two things watching this channel: 1. Roundabouts are great. 2. Citiies Skylines vehicle AI is horribly dumb.

A pattern I am seeing is making 3 ways in and out of an area. One of those ways should be a main artery, and another that can handle higher flow too. The turbine interchanges need to have 2 lanes joining the main roads to keep flowing too.

i have issues like that constantly. its weird glitches like this that make the game so much more interesting.
