One of the things that helped me with traffic the most is adding capacity to my public transport vehicles. In real life a city bus fits way more than 30 people. I've also noticed that the trams and metros have criminally small capacity for what they are as well. After I changed those to larger (but still realistic) numbers, traffic went way down.

Base game busses are so easy to overwhelm that I have to use them as more of a diagnostic tool. If there are 400 people at a bus stop, I need something else to solve the problem because busses won't cut it. Also, people will walk up to 300 grid lines, putting a bus stop at every block just slows busses to a crawl, and they won't use most of those stops.

Cities: Skylines is weird in that it handicaps things to encourage cities like people think cities should be rather than how cities actually are. All public transit is significantly less efficient than it is in real life (although, to be fair, it is also cheaper than real life). Zoning density is the same way. Low density houses hold like 6 families while high density buildings hold like 24. In real life, a low density residential developments house as few as 3% as many people per acre (e.g. 10 households vs. 300) and rarely exceed 10%. This isn't to say that you don't get low density development patterns--on the contrary, they are the norm across the United States--but low density development is far more sprawling than the game requires or even easily allows. Similarly, the design decision to largely ignore parking makes cars vastly more efficient than they would be in real life. You can fix some of it with modding, but I hope for Cities 2 they really take a hard look at how they're modeling things, and what policies they're including and why. It's crazy to me that I can build state-owned industries like oil and farming, but can't place public housing. I can encourage citizens to drop out of high school to preserve a large-enough uneducated workforce for my basic industry and commercial businesses, but I can't distribute housing vouchers. I can demolish private homes and commercial buildings freely, but can't reserve a setback (without mods) for future street widening etc... etc...

I would have made a short tunnel under the small neighborhood which would have straighten the highway and set free space for development. And for the interchange… single way ramps on both ends of the tunnel😀 or ramps in both ways but this solution requires bit more space.

That stretch of road has been plagued with bad traffic basically since it was first laid down. Part of the problem was insisting on bike infrastructure - which is good in principle but IRL a bike on that stretch would have been incredibly dangerous anyway. Some way around it will need to be found in a later episode.

Builds a nice fishing town. 14-08-2024 - City Planner Plays takes office, for 4 years, 4 months. Builds a farm and cozy new neighbourhood. 23-12-2028 - Lee Hawkins takes office, for 7 years, 11 months. Fixes traffic and builds a hillside campus. 11-12-2036 - Overcharged Egg takes office, for 4 years. 2 months. Builds a waterfront and fancy tiered neighbourhood. 12-02-2041 - ImperialJedi takes office, for 3 years, 10 months. Builds a pretty interchange and expands the city into the forested hills. 22-12-2044 - Czardus returns to office, for 1 year, 10 months. Fills in open spaces and adds a forestry industry. 19-10-2046 - City Planner Plays returns to office, for 3 years and 5 months. Builds bike paths while the city burns, then redevelops downtown. 05-03-2050 - Lee Hawkins returns to office, for 10 years and 10 months. Earns the title of Lord Interchange and Master of Traffic, expands the city's industry. 01-05-2051 - TheTimeister comes in meanwhile as park planning consultant, for 5 years and 2 months. Develops a coastal nature reserve for the city. 21-01-2061 - Overcharged Egg returns to office, for 8 years and 6 months. Carves out a massive ore mine next to a small town nestled in the forest. 23-07-2069 - ImperialJedi returns to office, for 2 years and 5 months. Builds a mall and surrounding beachside neighbourhood, expands the city's industry. 27-12-2071 - Biffa comes in as traffic advisor/mayor, for 3 years and 3 months. Fixes traffic flow throughout the city to be better than it ever was. 25-03-2074 - Czardus returns to office? Give or take a few weeks here and there where power changed hands etc. (i.e. I can't be bothered calculating the days as well)

"I wish all the cars just WENT" 😂... love Biffas use of English

I love all the builders in 5B1C, but sometimes I feel like they over engineer intersections. Biffa is 2nd to none on traffic fixes.

The persistent determination of the cims to get in a lane nearly as early as possible and STAY THERE regardless of how much space there is to either side is both admirable and completely exasperating. (You can, in fact, leverage this sometimes to lane-mathematicise counterintuitively. Like peeling off exiting slip roads from the outside instead of the inside when you REALLY need to put some interchanges too close to work smoothly otherwise.)

Great fix! Someone is going to need to reinstate City Planner’s cycle network with the three lane bike roads just to the south of the infamous bridge.

it is 5b1c season 2 love to see you in the 2d season

16:45 The timed traffic lights are working as expected. You don't get one set of lights per lane, you get one set of lights per movement. In this case, the lights are set up so that one movement is turning right, and another movement is going straight on or turning left. This is completely independent of the lanes, and completely independent of the fact that straight on traffic has been banned through other means. When the light for turning right is green then any traffic in any lane that is turning right gets a green light; when the light is green for straight-on-and-left then any traffic in any lane that is going straight on or left gets a green light. In the TTL setup, you can configure how you separate out the movements, eg whether you have all movements in the same phase, all movements controlled independently, straight-on-and-right together but left separate, etc.

"For those who know me well, we like to make it extra hard for ourselves" - me with work tasks

Biffa literally is like one of those old school traffic directing cops...turns up in any city and things flow in no time. Series should be called 5 builders 1 traffic god.

Nice job Biffa. Lee actually setup those multi-junction timed traffic lights (99.44% of that at least). But I think you make a good case for individualizing them. And it's a good thing you kept that second entrance/exit for that neighborhood (there are at least) otherwise City Planner might not be too pleased (if there's only one entrance/exit then it is considered a cul-de-sac and makes it more difficult for city services). You also make a good case for removing two of the roads since they are technically connected to a collector which should have minimal connections. So, overall, very good job. Loved the video.

I really do think it's a bit up to setup. Even that very last shot of the closing sequence, you can see a right lane that could be exiting to the highway while the on-ramp traffic has the green. Optimally, all traffic on any road will go at the same time that doesn't interfere with other traffic. It's a simple rule, but more difficult in practice if you can't visualize that rule. Timed traffic lights seems like a mod with a steep initial learning curve. I think it's probably daunting to try to use something "on camera" that's confusing on its face, as well, so they end up not experimenting.

The light with the right symbol will control both right hand lanes.

Good idea to remove those road segments at the end. That’s what I find to be the single biggest cause of traffic jams in this game, is 4 way intersections. I try to mostly stick to 3 way junctions only and use 4 way junctions very sparingly. It seems many of these players intentionally go out of their way to join roads into 4 way intersections, I guess because it’s more realistic in real life, but it doesn’t work so well in the game.

This was, as always, fun to watch the "master traffic manager". I hope you do more 5B1C.

Can I just say that much of this traffic is fixed by removing traffic lights and installing give way signs? Only on very trafficked roads which are very close to red, do you need a traffic light in my opinion. That can be solved by roundabouts usually if you have the space to do it. Roundabouts have the advantage that no one are crossing over each others lane, more or less. Traffic lights demand people come to a stop, whereas dedicated lanes and roundabouts are more forgiving in way. Also. I miss these traffic fixes.

That is a visual thing that happens, when you change from one road type to another. At every node where they change, the game will place a crossing for pedestrians. Same goes for a road proceeding to a bridge. In the specific spot you mention, there is the 6 lane road changing to a 4 lane road with bicycle lanes, which then proceeds into a bridge. But also the answer to your question is: yes. Basically the idea of everyone having a separate zone was thrown overboard in the second season to have more interaction between the different styles of the 5 builders. This specific road was built as a 4 lane road with median (I think it was Lee) and then changed by City Planner Plays to feature the bike lanes and then Biffa changed it back to the 6 lane road, which in total caused this crosswalk cluster, we are admring.

didn't expect you, nice job!

27:00 look closer, the light is for straight and right. If you go to edit the timed traffic light you can de-couple them

I'm amazed by how much you improved traffic without completely rebuilding roads.

Great video! I think the problem with the junction is that you have a major road of six lane bi-directional traffic feeding into a one lane onramp to the highway. I like the pedestrian overpass, it looks like a frog. :D

Only thing I would do different, is give the highway exit, the one that was backing out of the city on that big problem area, two left turn lanes and 1 right as opposed to two rights and a left. Regardless, was a brilliant fix as per usual! Your fixed are and have always been my favorite episodes on your channel. Keep on keeping on!

I often use the lane connectors on most nodes along a road, which may look like 'overuse', however, it allows you to force cars to only be able to make 1 lane change per node. I find on a busy highway, forcing them to change lane where I want them to, and only by 1 lane at a time makes a big difference, and forces the to use all the lanes given.

Great Fix, I think it was Lee who put all the timed traffic lights in. I totally agree that they should be chained to get something like a green wave on the main street though. maybe Lee will fix it again.

I don't remember when the light chain was put in, but I suspect that some things have changed around the city since then. That would have changed the traffic situation along this road as well, making the original setup no longer viable. I don't know, of course, it's just a guess based on how things looked this time.

@@patrikhjorth3291 yes that might be exactly what happened

Great video. Absolutely amazed you only added one roundabout. I was convinced you would add one on the troublesome highway junction. Kudos! Can anyone point me to a good guide for setting up multiple junctions with traffic lights in series. Its been bugging me for a long, long time.

In the Traffic Manager, traffic light setup section, when you stop them and click on the lights it will switch between combined and dedicated directions, you don't need to remove whole lights configuration ;)

No seen spot the dog for years, that was a blast from the past 😂

For the timed traffic lights, you are able to change the modes. So you can either control each direction’s lights, or you can control both left and straight + right, right and straight + left, or all 3 directions at once. The lights don’t determine the direction the cars will go, if the straight arrow is green and there’s no lanes with the straight arrow, the cars won’t move. By default, when you do a Ctrl + Left Click for the timed traffic lights, the mod will identify which roads are connected and place the timed traffic lights which suits the road type. If there’s a direction that you don’t want the cars to go, just remove that direction for the lane(s).

I always watch the Master in Traffic fix Biffa you are genius.

Love 5B1C. I'm also happy to see you take a crack at traffic fixing. I like your dedicated turning lanes.

I haven't finished the video yet, but I bet if he just took out the lights on that first road and put in give way signs and did a bit of dedicated turning lanes it would have fixed it all straight away.

Love the episode, keep up with the good work

I love how you solve traffic. I usually turn off left turns and force driver to go around the block which is what happens in my city. Left turns IRL are pretty dangerous specially on a two way road crossing.

You should do a episode where you try to replicate Disney World/Land including the different parks, roads, parking, and your favorite foot paths.. I wish you the best of luck.

Nice one again :-) although upping the busses and not the trams triggered me a bit XD

I enjoyed the Spot reference 😁
