This is why Highway Engineers like ROUNDABOUTS... Mini Motorways!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Fixing gridlocked traffic by using roundabouts in Mini Motorways will help you get high scores in Mini Motorways! From the makers of Mini Metro comes Mini Motorways! A highway engineering puzzle game and in this video I, a highway designer of 10 years, see if my real life engineering skills help me become better at the Mini Motorways puzzle game by using the power of roundabouts to fix bad traffic! Can I beat @BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines at his own game?
As always, if you enjoy the video please give it a LIKE and subscribe to the Real Civil Engineer channel and enable notifications so you can be the first to know when I post future videos! Thanks!!

    If you take the time to fiddle with those longer roads you can make them straighter, which will save you road tiles and make things less convoluted in the long run. You also had like, five intersections that needed reworked, a special tile, or both by the end there. This isn't like Mini Metro where you hold onto your special tiles until you need them. Everything needs to be running as smoothly as soon as possible to avoid little problems turning into big problems later down the line. You definitely have a mind for this, though

    When I first learned to drive, roundabouts kind of scared me, I was more looking forwards to traffic lights. But now I'm almost the opposite. I always worry so much about driving to a light crossing, and then entering when it's red, because the speed's too high, and the yellow's too short. While roundabouts are SO easy to navigate. Man, roundabouts are fantastic, truly fantastic.

And because of their nature they're self regulating, so they don't have the same kind of congestion issue! Unless one of the exits is like, NEVER entered from, I guess. Gosh roundabouts are swell!

    Here's some tips from watching others. - You may want to focus highways on middle ground areas and a little less direct as stuff gets added they become less useful and will need to be moved around. - When connecting a Highway to a well used main road, you should add a little turn off before connecting it in case you need to add lights, A roundabout or another highway to that area later. Just better for the long run of dense neighborhoods. - you can actually pre plan an area by filing out the roads so certain stuff only spawns in the general area you want it to but be careful about using too many roads and run out when you need them. This is more for when you're used to it. - Sometimes you really need to make the visual sacrifice and just attach the neighborhood diagonally to save space and tiles. In this round you should have made a central left vertical highway as well as made a horizontal highway across the map from left central to upper right across the small river. Gg, this was fun and kinda intense to watch, don't forget to plan to add your bypasses earlier, when it gets faster, you're gonna need them.

    I just retired from the State transportation department, and I installed some of the first roundabouts in the State. It was an uphill battle to break through the resistance, but we managed and we have a fair number in the field now. Most of mine are on local streets, although there are several on larger scale roadways as well. Unfortunately too many of the older engineers do not understand the importance of the specific design features and making sure they didn't cut corners, so to speak, was a major struggle.

    Local town replaced a busy 4 way intersection with a roundabout several years ago. My friend is a police officer there. I asked him if it's cut down on accidents, he says yes, accidents were at least cut in half...but calls to that intersection have doubled or more, because at least once every DAY someone enters the roundabout the wrong way and almost causes a head-on collision, or gets scared and just stops, snarling traffic in all directions. I know people who've lived in this area for decades and they call it the worst thing the transportation dept has ever imposed on people. The Diverging Diamond intersections were a huge deal in this region when they were proposed and built, and sure they look great in studies and on paper, but in real life practice unless you have well trained drivers used to them it can be a harrowing experience.

    I think the worst roundabout I've had the absolute pleasure of driving on is on Lee Green in Mirfield. It's where Lee Green, a side road, joins onto Greenside (on the left)/Dunbottle (on the right) and used to be a junction but was changed when I lived around there. They also changed the junction that was further down Dunbottle but changed it back fairly recently, although they still haven't changed the Lee Green one yet. The reason it's so bad is because of the angle that Lee Green is at. You give away to the right so someone on Greenside would wait for whoever is on Lee Green, and whoever is on Lee Green would wait for someone on Dunbottle. However, since people on Lee Green can see a lot of Dunbottle for quite a distance away from the roundabout, they tend to not really slow down that much. And since people on Greenside can't see that much of Lee Green, they can't see someone who isn't planning on slowing down, so they'll go into the roundabout (like they normally would as they do have right of way at that point, as the car on Lee Green isn't close enough to the roundabout for them to have to wait for them, and the car on Lee Green will also try to go on the roundabout, as they see Dunbottle is empty and don't check for someone already on the roundabout from Greenside. I will never forget that roundabout because someone almost crashed into me while on a driving lesson just before an a level exam.
