I love this series, glad it's back

Always nice to see a good old fashioned city fix :D I love the city building series, but I missed those.

So glad this series is back. I was predicting 15% of traffic, which wasn't too far off!

I actually love doing massive overhauls in my city. Making it cleaner and more efficient is so satisfying. I just finished redoing a main road around a shopping center and it was alot of maneuvering but it looks so much better now

0:48 "Get a grip" "Change" Feels way more intimidating when written out lol

31:06 Took you, Biffa, aka MISTER ROUNDABOUT EVERYWHERE long enough to spot that this junction was the perfect candidat for a roundabout. I legit celebrated this moment lol

Fantastic turnaround! That traffic is so much better and you didn't even have to put his bus line back in

Definitely missed these! I love this series and the city building series but please dont get burnt out!

I noticed that cargo train station helps a lot on lowering trucks on road. It's worth checking that out. Manage to increase the traffic flow with 20%.

At 24:40 , CS even tells you in a pop-up to not have long stretches of road to ease up on traffic build up.

That entrance to the city from the highway where the 3-lane highway hits a 2-way road with one lane in each direction ... that _has_ to be trolling, right? 🤯

Overpasses and bypasses and local highways are hardly a very good solution Teach me in the ways of multi-use developments

@heygek2769

spread it out, create multiple smaller clusters of industry/commercial instead of having it all in one big zone. Also don't try to fill everything up, leave small gaps and parks everywhere and use the tree brush

11:44 nice little backing track :) you should put them in while you let the traffic builds up when you turn on hard mode. Perhaps allow for musicians backing tracks and have them send in their works and advertise for them while you fix the city :)

To me this is as entertaining as the 5B1C videos. Loving these city fixes. ( Surprising amount of work for such a small town... Sometimes the best challenges come in small packages ! )

The only way I've found to make large and dense, split-zoned cities work in vanilla is by using ring roads and lots of public transport with main highways that connect everything. We need traffic manager on consoles!

My only complaints are that Biffa moved the market from it's central iconic location to plow a road though, and "Forrest Industrial Valley" still has no industry in it.

I'm addicted to watching your videos at this point. LOL I notice you like to have the people leave the station and cross to another - you don't like using those multi-line stations?

19:50 You could’ve just made a tunnel under the Winter Park and the Hill so it didn’t look bad lol, plus some extra roads to connect it with the side roads; anyway love the series

Traffic fixes are the most relaxing thing on youtube.

My estimate for the traffic was "teens, tops". Seems like I wasn't too wrong. 3:00 To future prove things and maybe get another way to the industry, I'd have changed it into a 4 way intersection right then and there. But those lane mathematics take next to no time at all so there's that. 9:16 same with this one. 13:49 it was just a matter of time for that connection to go, wasn't it. 19:45 maybe tunneling under the winter market would have been an interesting alternative? I know you don't like tunnels that much but at that place it could have been an interesting solution esp. as there's a small hill anyways. 21:15 "Spaghetti Central" certainly needs more noodle nests with connecting lines of sauce if you catch my drift. Too bad you didn't reach 80%+ but incredible job otherwise. I guess spreading out the industry, adding better train acces and maybe putting busses back in, would have done the job.

@heygek2769

Жыл бұрын

That remaining 20% was mostly because of the city design, those long roads all connecting to the main road creating a lot of junctions. I think the video contains enough info and tips for the original builder to fix it himself. Although let's be honest, if he's been watching Biffa and still builds his city like this, then... i don't know.

@@heygek2769 Yeah, I guess so.

Your traffic fix videos are always a lot of fun. First it's interesting to see what other people are doing and trying to figure out how it happened, why, etc. In this case, I think a whole lot of the traffic problem was related to the toll booth and not having a connection that went right to where people wanted to go. So many people wanted to go in and head left, and none of the roads supported it. Anyway, a suggestion for you. How about making a Biffa Traffic Challenge Map? Give us something to try to fix, give us an amount of time, and let's see who gets the best results.

The only thing that really bugged me about this map is the rail crossings across the highways, instead of below or above the roads.

Railroad or metro tracks intersecting roads, although looking good, will cause traffic; especially if there is a lot of train traffic.

Thanks for the captions with what you are doing and the mods used. I can't always hear it well, and the auto-captions aren't always correct. So I appreciate when the captions say what is happening (example, Ctrl left click for lane stuff).

Wow some some shocking city building in this one! Its pretty wild people dont seemto understand not to put intersections so close to each other... I mean when have you ever seen that in real life?

The way biffa builds his metros in these fixes is so infuriating but it's usually less so then the original situation

Just had an idea, maybe you have explored this before… you could place a toll booth next to a freeway with heavy truck traffic to create a “weigh station” and use traffic manager to restrict the truck traffic through the toll booth. Would it have made any sense to create a truck only connection to keep their pathing under control? I have seen “truck routes” used in the US to keep truck traffic away from residential areas or downtown areas.

The other item users should know about is that magical option, Dynamic Lanes, within TMPE and how to set it. That option alone helps to have all lanes used which is very beneficial for highways. Great fix!! I always enjoy these! Thanks Biffa!!

"Get a grip, Bill!"? Yah, no that ain't a'gonna happen, Biff.

every time I see a pedestrian bridge that you put on the roundabouts I get a cramp in the brain, just two tunnels that meet or keep a street that uses the city street as in reality with the distant pedestrian crossing of at least one car or two

@Ghrathryn

Жыл бұрын

Pretty sure it's variable. I think there's some in Birmingham or London that do the bridges, I know the closest dual carriageway has lights on one of the smaller roads, but underpasses onto a bridge for the roundabout due to that having a car underpass for those wanting to go straight. Others simply back the pedestrian crossings off from the roundabouts a bit.

@kaltaron1284

It really depends on the city. Some in Japan for example seem to prefer overpasses. Of course with stairs instead of ramps as those can be steeper. I had a bad experience with an underpass in an unfamiliar city (Matsue) once. Messed my direction up by 90 degrees and had to walk a whole lot further. On a day my feet were in really bad condition (new shoes).

You need more memory, or easy turn-around increase your page file size, so it can fit the whole city. Normally page file increases in small pieces when it's needed, but it will be a lot slower. With big enough page file + RAM it won't take so long to load. On my previous city I got my loading time from 20 minutes to 5 minutes. Mod Compatibility Checker Tool can help with the errors. But just like I did, it might be it crashes because it ran out of memory.
