If you have subscribed and binge watched all RCE then you are most defiantly a honorary Engineer!

When there's only clockwise turns or straights it's always better to make the sequence go counter clockwise and vice versa because then the direction the lanes are draining in is always away from where the next cars are coming from. If the sequence goes the same direction as the turns, the lanes getting green will always be blocked by the last car leaving the crossing. That way you could even have overlapping turns, as in, the next turning lane could go one step before the last one stops, so there's less down time. The straights can't do that though because they will come in too early before the turner can leave the crossing. Keep in mind that this only works in a world where people don't jump red.

Matt should just roundabout everything

You didn't have to be so straight about it...could have said it on a more roundabout way! Here all week!

My husband says “ooh we should watch that architect guy!” I’m sure this is actually your nightmare…someone mistaking you for an architect 😂

Gotta love the first simulation starting with a 4-way head-on collision.

There's something strangely calming and relaxing about watching you play these games that honestly is exactly the kind of short break I need when feeling overwhelmend :) Or on a winter morning with breakfast in my bed, can't wait

Supporting solo devs or small team devs is important. Many times they start an amazing idea but get wiped by the bigger cooperations because they just throw manpower and hours against an idea and make something half but get higher rating because its a company we all know.

Matt, the reason why giga's score isnt showing, its because you gave up and used the dev's option

My theory is the engineers like to create traffic, just so they can have fun making simulations. Not actually implement a solution, just feed real world traffic into the simulation. Sadism

The lights going clockwise or counter-clockwise does matter. If you have traffic lights for straight and right, then as these cars are moving, they are blocking the next road clockwise the most because that is where they are going. If the lights change to the clockwise position, they need to wait for the intersection to clear before they go. However, those one road counter-clockwise have a clear path already. They don't need to wait for anyone. They need to travel into the intersection, crossing one lane of traffic before they meet other vehicles. So yes, having the lights go counter-clockwise around works better than going clockwise as there is less waiting.

I think you almost had it early where cars went head on. If you jogged the lanes to the side with the spare space, could have had the head ons going at the same time I reckon.

Try adding a square on the inside of corners where you can so the cars can cut the corners more

This man needs to learn that counter clockwise traffic lights are much more efficient for left hand traffic in this case. Because it adds the new traffic behind the traffic already on the junction instead of smack in the middle of it. Same with the roundabouts.

Great to hear that it's coming to Steam. I'll look for it. And I think Matt will have to give that Merger level another shot.

You should maybe put the lights a square back instead of right on the turn, so there is more time to clear the road so it doesn’t build up. Just a thought

Nandos - give yellow and green dedicated right turns outside of roundabout.

I thought the same thing and had to check the comments

The cars follow no regular traffic laws/rules. Very similar to real life. Good game.

Loving this Matt!!!!

For the hamburger roundabout, I'm curious as to how Matt's road arrangement would work with traffic lights. I think it might beat the dev by even more.

I just watched the other videos yesterday and I came back to see if there was one I missed and look at that u just uploaded this onr

Matt’s motto probably is “when in doubt roundabout”

I thought you didn't complete Giga because of a glitch? The dev solution didn't work either because of CPU speed I think they said.

hi RCE! i really love your videos and i find your doing great work! i would really recommend you playing mindustry, wich is crossing massive factory making and tower defense. it is great and i would be really happy seeing you paying it.😁 anyways, have a nice day!

Nice vid! I think the intervals are per 2 seconds, i could be wrong tho. (every tile on the roundabout) EDIT: This is mentioned in the tut

I love this game! Keep it up Matt!

To improve the traffic light timings you could add a sensor at the back of the queue to automate the timings.

Suggestion, when you do your thumbnail art for the videos, instead of Noob for the simple, inefficient solutions you could say Architect. 😁

When matt says carnage in grid road Me: its gonna be CARnage

Hey Matt, just so you know, the segments of traffic lights are actually 2 seconds each, not 1

Really enjoying this series :)

There are few things that are more relaxing that watching you fix traffic :)

I’m just ready for more timberborn

Hope you feel better, Matt!

that was so much fun to watch

7:36 WTH those 2 purple cars leaving side by side in one lane xD

On the cross you could’ve had the opposing straight aheads on at the same time and if you had moved the lights back one block I think you could’ve pulled off having opposite turns on at the same time as well

For the cross the top lane in the 3 times 1 section timers you had one of them one off, which is probably the main reason you got less than dev

Hi RCE I've been a big fan of your channel for years

this video was really inspiring thank you!!!!|

Love you RCE

😂😂 amazing I’m a civil engineer too 😂😂 brill to watch I play cities skylines amazing game

Instantly thought of Peri Boyz when Matt said cheeky Nandos. Oi~ Oi~ cheeky Nandos~!

Thats not how traffic lights are done, you have room for a free left(yay you figured that out) and can start the right with an offset from the otherside to get more throughput.

4:22 you could remove the middle (creating a weird mini roundabout)

Best youtuber

I'll buy it as soon as I see it on steam

I love this game!!! I had to buy it bc of Matt

Roundabout? Yes

I got over 14k on Tangle by taking the yellows up top between the green out and blue in, then cutting across the blues when the two are going up from the bottom

A bit hard to watch for me as ... we use the normal right handed driving :D

13:40 i would have added shortcuts for green and yellow to have them drive right instead of left

13:20 - maybe we can improve moving oranges straight on a left side? They cycling 85% of circle

That nandos has more potential... Yellow from left can get own line to not go all around the roundabout... 😂

Oh yeah, you got daylight savings shift a week before we do.

The hamburger roundabout is the worst thing I’ve ever seen lmao Don’t bring those heathenous traffic lights into my European traffic circles

If you can’t handle me at my architect, you don’t deserve me at my engineer.

I think you can make all the lanes going straight go green at the same time it wont clash maybe

My father is a civil engineer and knows all the technical terms you mention such as at grade

You should be adding additional turn lanes for the cars that are just making a left. That way the other cars that are going straight or a different direction can get passed them before the main intersection.

They added trains to mini motorways. You should play the game again, I know you liked it! I don’t know how they will work yet.

I don't thank rce would like the newest update to btd6. They added an architect, but he probably like the map editor

if it does, i would definitly buy and try

You can do curves by making a staircase shape

good play

give ur editor a raise

This looks like a better version of Freeways

If only u could add some of this into city skyline

JESUS... Finally, Bypass Lanes :D

I Really want to see him making a city using the whole map in city skylines

Matt has the same exact voice as MD Fishtanks

13:16 Wouldn't you have a U-turn on the left so the guys coming from the left and going off on the left and avoid the squareabout entirely.

Who's that cute doggo in a hard hat in your channel banner?

I wish all cross roads and t-junctions in the UK had left turn only lanes. Would reduce waiting time a lot for turning left. Combining straight with left turn is stupid.

Make a roundabout bridge

A roundabout within a roundabout surrounded by roundabouts!

Why didn‘t you just bring back the second lane at 18:00? That would have given enough capacity for the red cars

Did you know they added trains in mini motorways I saw a video of someone saying, and showing that

Heres a challenge for you :3 can you make a functional city that is only connected to a singular roundabout

Matt, do a challenge where in city sky lines 2 you can only use roundabout

I'd like to see Matt have only red lights just to see if any car will run the light.

Is there an ETA for when it's gonna show on Steam?

Hopefully no squareabouts this time 😂

This peaks my interest in engineering, but I can’t get the game 💀

weird i didnt get notification for this video

Here's to hoping that someday Matt will play my game 🤞

KZread thinks its Mini Motorways lol 😂

Nandos is flavourless and DRY. I do not understand how ppl can like that

Actually that is not even a squarabout, if anything it would be a rectanglabout or something like that, since it is 12*9 cells, a squarabout would need even sides

Cross needs a protected left.

Was expecting a bit of “engineering”. Plus this a video game. I don’t think you can possibly be any further from “real” engineering even if you tried. 😂

what do you mean you aren't throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks? that IS engineering

My Britishness is screaming just make roundabouts Matt!!

why no slip roads on the hamburger? you could´ve made it so yellows that spawned on the left instantly go right so they don´t block up the roundabout, same with greens on the right...

I Scored 13200 on Nandos & 14800 on Tangle :)

You should do a collab with Biffa if you're going to do traffic fixes, I'm just saying. 😅

I'm not the OG guy but I also want Matt to play Mindustry

Yup he was an architect again

Nice
