You could remove the trolleybus overpasses by reinstating the crossings, but with pedestrian paths so that cyclists and pedestrians can still cross

Vanilla tip to get over road pedestrian and bike bridges to the height of 2. Raise the land just a tad bit (a 1 or 2 presses) with the smallest and lowest land fill setting where you want the bridge pillars.

the busstops on the buslane you mate on 7:46 are not used becouse the must walk all the way to the end of the road to get on and of the road

Instead of having two bicycling bridges right after each other to cross the two major roads over to the natural park with the lakes, you could consider cutting a little canyon out and running the bike plus maybe a pedestrian path through that. My small town here in Denmark has a network of bike and walking paths that crisscross most of the town while submerged into such a canyon, with tunnels under roads, so you never really have to cross a major road, and other than getting in and out of the network, you never have to tread up a steep incline like you do with bridges. It's also well lit with street lamps, it has benches and trash cans, and it's shielded by trees from all the wind and noise from the roads. I know the cims in game don't care about inclines on their biking paths, but it would look more pleasant I think than just having bridges everywhere. But in general I think tunnels are superior to bridges for biking because you get a little speed boost going down first to help you get back up, rather than having to fight your way up a bridge, then getting the boost going down to what's probably just a stretch of flat path anyway.

We have that in Germany, too. But City Planner Plays said once in his videos that in the US, they don't do tunnels for pedestrians or bikes in order not to create possible crime locations. That's why they prefer bridges.

One of the big issue you will have is the speed of your trolley bus. Since you have a pedestrian road, they are really slow through your main road.

A rare sight, Biffa using the 6 lane roads for more than just one node. A rare sight indeed haha

Heya Biffa! Since you removed the little cut-through roads to the industry area, you should/could lower the trolley bus road back down. I think that's why the pedestrians aren't walking to your metro station

Okay, interesting thing for metro lines. Because your city is in two parts that the road to get between them is goes around the outside, a direct metro line will be massively popular because it will be the fastest way for civs and their pocket cars to get around. It's just the shortest way between two points and they love that.

Biffa, you should have made the BigRubberDucky line yellow lol. Missed opportunity.

Great job with the roads. Think it looks much more organized! Enjoy watching you fix traffic situations🤩Wish you could come here and fix all the real life traffic that's up here for some reason 😂

Hi Biffa, just a note about the bike lanes and bike path. When you are cutting a street or a road, never go over the road. From the perspective of a bike, it is always better to go under as you accelerate downhill and you don't have to pedal as much when you are going back to ground level. The other way around it is really painful to pedal up to the bridge. So a good bike path design is always going under the road. Anyway, love the content.

You might need to move your industry buildings elsewhere. When you started the city it was a fine location but now that you have more tiles, it's time to move it and place it somewhere it won't intermix with regular traffic

what i notice that helps is having it intermixed a litle bit, with enough cargo transit spread out throughout your city. there are 2 main trafic paths in vanila that you have to take into account when you are making an industrial area. - Commuting traffic to ensure commuting trafic doesn't cross your whole city you want to have people living near it. so if you have everything concentrated you force the sim to place the people working in that industry through your whole city. making them travel through your whole city. - traffic of goods goods come from out of the city into the industry area or transported to outside the city / or to shops. (if you have the industries DLC you can even build ware houses to manage the way how goods transport through your city) to remove the cargo traffic going from the industry area to outside the city you can place down a cargo transit. Ofcoarse it is all a game of balance and you don't want your poluting industry near your residential area. so it is a nice puzzle and can be fixed in different ways.

@Biffa Will you PLEASE raise the street by the river right at the beginning so it is NOT below water level anymore? ._.

Hey Biffa. If you wanna add crosswalk in the middle of straight street in vanila, just change type of road. It will create crosswalk on either side if differnt roadtype. So you do not need to keep those troleybus bridges.

10:40 if you offset the on-ramp it won't do the straight across.

Love that trolley bus going in the middle of the cuplet, I love symmetry could you do it at the other side where the commercial buildings are too? 😂 loving the content keep it up more frequently would be nice

If you placed a two tunnel metro in your shopping center you could have kept a straight line and the north south line could have reached the stop in your industrial and then you could have added stops at your bus station and across your island.

You’ve got a massive bottle neck at that ferry port bus depot thing. It’s a two lane because it’s part of the building but is carrying enough traffic to be a 4 or even 6 lane road.

I always struggle to determine where is going to be, what massive transit type!, you make this look so easy!

Love transit builds, amazing video.

29:52 I think it would be better if you just added a pedestrian road instead, so that city services dont have to do a u-turn

Damn Biffa its been a time since I watched your Cities Skylines videos. But i remember getting hyped whenever a new episode of New Tealand, Blightea-on-the-wold, mississippatea, antarcteaca and biffalo countea. And I cant wait now to watch a new episode of this city or New Tealand! Its been a long jurney with New Tealand and I am looking forward for the first City in Cities Skylines 2 of you! (and hopefully a New Tealand 2.0, however it will be called!) And just because of you I started to drink more tea than before :)

The vanilla game showing how certain features were missing, I'm excited to see vanilla cs2 too!! I've reached 40k population in my vanilla game; Started when you did :) It's my very first City. I definitely will use your methods, my city is drowning in traffic; Thank you for teaching me!

Trees on the trolleybus couplet? 🌲🌳 Also, you might have this planned for the future, but the coast road you currently have you could extend with bike lanes to the urban area across the river? Feel like the only way traffic can get there is across the busy motorway junction... Great video though ❤ 😁

Hi biffa, was wondering if in CS2, are pedestrian paths able to snap to the side of roads? And also if elevated paths can snap to elevated roads? As someone who love pedestrian paths, i would love to see them implemented as a feature. Great video as usual!

Love your bikelane network, it looks like Denmark :)

It can be frustrating that you can't have multiple bus/tram/trolley/metro types on the same line. Too bad we can't just add a couple higher capacity units to an existing line rather than converting ALL units to the higher capacity. The only solution I'm aware of is just creating multiple lines covering all the same stops in order to have different types doing the same route.

I can't wait for cs2. It's been looking like everything I wanted to do with roads will be possible

Cool thing about the bike lane with trees is that its easier to see bike connectivity grom afar

Your overpasses would work a lot better as spui’s (single point urban interchanges) with right hand slips onto the highways

Enjoying this build but omg I really, really hate those trolley bus bridges in the couplet by the industrial area. Just put it on ground level and have a ped road crossing so that people can cross

25:59 - I see an option tied to School Bus (Cap. 30ppl) = Does that mean you would need to create multi School Bus routes based on # of kids at the school house? Always wondered. Side Note - I hate pocket cars! Looks absolutely ridiculous! Happy CS2 resolved that little problem 🙂

Hello Biffa, Great video! How about you place a taxi depot somewhere in the city so that few cars can be used for multiple people. This decreases traffic

I can’t believe it! Biffa creates a “line-about” and doesn’t even notice.

18:59 you can see the person on the bike just turn onto the bridge. Don't know if someone else has commented but just clocked it as soon as you said😂

Everytime I see your videos I get the urge to play for rest of the day. Except now my city has a lot of the "not enough buyers for products " message so I'm just going to start new one soon

Of course.... leave it to Biffa to take out a normal couplet and instead put in the longest oblong-about in gaming. Now the bus lane can go back on the ground without the humps, making the whole thing much easier to drive on for the busses.

You know what Biffa, I think you have a voice that would be perfect for audio books. Maybe something to look into.

Surely the “BigRubberDucky Loop” should be yellow, right? 😂 Great job as usual!!

A Interaction for the Interaction God, a Comment for the Comment Throne, for the Almighty Algorithm

Didn't even need to add in "loop." Boston had a subway project nicknamed "The Big Dig;" a simple "The Big Rubber Ducky" would have been perfect.

Finally its saturday!!!!

Wueheeej…finally some gameplay😄

8:28 if you keep the whole length in the air it opens up some space underneath

About the traffic in the diamonds, is it possible to make a diverging diamond interchange in vanilla? I think that can probably make the traffic more efficient.

I really wish they made Night Life+ Sunset H Trolleybus exclusive roads, I cant be bothered to buy Plazas and Promenades a few months before CS2

i'm just wondering how manny people you can get out of car traffic (with other words, get them to use the bike or transit) my cities always get stuck at arround 12% (i have seen cities with 14% but never higher)

Biffa: we don't want just metro everywhere... goes to start building metro everywhere... 😅

Which video addresses the 'no pocket cars in CS2' ?? Would love to watch that discussion :)

8:11 you already have a walking path along the trolleybus road. Why not add just point connections at the intersections and leave the rest of that space as green space?, maybe ad few flowers, a row of trees, that sort of thing...

Hey Biffa. Is it possible to build a city with NO road links from the outside? Rail, Air, Water allowed. transport within the city only trams, metro, cycles and paths

7:43 rather than have the new central through road going up and down at each of the cross intesections, why not have the whole length elevated? Would having the whole length on the same level keep traffic flow consistant. (in RL such dips and rises would result in une ven traffic flow, and may even discourgae that roads actual use) Just wondering

@hanneken4026

I think that was so the pedestrian path could connect to the (trolly)bus roads with the bus stops as well as to all the crossroads where the people can cross into the city on the sidewalks of the regular roads.

23:40 I wonder if that sponsor is a fan of Alestorm

Man, I hope that with the more realistic costs being shown in CS2 the metro is also going to be treated the same. In CS1 it's a total joke and always feels like the magic wand solution. That or ship the game with unicorn bridleways for the same level of realism.

You could Add metro stations

You sound remarkably similar to motorsports journalist and commentator David Addison.

do you have to turn off all mods to play that savegame in vanilla mode?

Hey biffa. What’s your favorite feature of the new game

Gotta make the metro line bright yellow if it's rubber duck lol

can't wait for Cities2 so it fixes a lot of the issues in today's game.

So the cuplet is now a giant roundabout 😄

Lovely use of a perfectly cromulent word (embiggened)

At 10:00 4-line oneway and 2 for each direction?
