Option 3, due to the not enough workers issue near that new Forestry/Factory area. 24:05 Section of Wright Street between Graham Street and Jones Street is reverse to the rest of Wright Street? This is what causes Graham Street to be busier later. Also the industry area to the west(direction of Graham and Jones) from the roundabout is a bit of cul-de-sac of sorts, you might want to consider linking to the post Office roundabout from the area west of the shipyard factory?

That whole industry area is forcing any and all traffic that wants to move to the left (west) all the way out through the roundabout by the highway junction. One of the three out-going roads needs left turns onto the main industry road enabled.

When you set up your one-way system at 24:06, one of the roads is pointing left when you wanted it to point right. It ended up funneling a lot of extra traffic onto one exit.

@Aramv1983

I think that's meant as a squareabout

20:13 So you have those 3 streets doing the same thing: offering a way out of the one-way system onto the main road. Couldn't one of them become a different kind of way out? A bridge over the main road to your cargo station road? It could even be a two way connected to cargo road like a trumpet would do ...

12:52 ACK! The two junctions really close to each other are really going to mess things up in C:S (moreso than in real life, to be honest). Two potential fixes: One, take the road heading east out of the junction and realign it with an S-curve so it meets the other tee junction, making it a 4-way. Two, make those two junctions signalized on the same timer using Timed Traffic Lights, with 3 phases: NB-SB, EB only, and WB only. The first of these two ideas is the better bet. -an actual roadway engineer who loves your videos

I like Option 2 with Bentealey Station, but it'd be cool if more of the railway was above ground like you did in Antarcteaca, it was cool seeing the city grow around the tracks.

32:31 It's been mentioned before but at the top-left (in this view) of that parclo junction, you don't need the slip road to have two lanes, as nobody should be crossing the through-traffic to turn 'east', they should be passing under the bridge and looping around the cloverleaf to get there.

Yeah i mentioned this too a couple of weeks before… another thing about the parclo is that people can’t turn left from the bike-lane road onto the highway:i guess Biffa forbad this cus he didn’t want cross-overs & maybe there’s way for people to make a U turn (roundabout and such) before heading onto the highway

Clearly option 1. That island finished will be so nice!

Biffa there are so many crossings that it looks like a herd of Zebras in downtown New Tealand lol

One comment I don't see below: When you set the roundabout at 4:30 with TMPE, it looks to me like the system did a priority road curving around most of the roundabout on down under the highway. I don't know if that does anything meaningful but you might want to check the other end. A few comments already made elsewhere that I've voted up: 1. The parclo at 32:00 doesn't need the two-lane offramp (i.e. it doesn't need the left turn at that two-lane offramp). 2. The industry network has an opportunity to have a giant roundabout that doesn't require the truckers to go all the way out to the main road if they don't need to. Use the 'frontage' road to the main road as well as the road along the water, then pick one of the arbitrary other roads going 'north' (relative to the map at that time). 3. The two nodes so close together at 12:50 really should be a timed traffic light pair. It might be a good chance to practice so that Lee Hawkins doesn't have to be so salty when you rip his timed network out in the future ;).

Thank you Biffa to mention your road pack again ^-^ It's really helpful and having it gave me a trafic of 85% in a city with around 80.000

Great video again, small remark around your forestry area: the t(ea)-junction you created had traffic-lights on them which slowed the cars down as well. Also I would pick option 1, that area has not been touched for a while and finishing it would be nice. And if you want to keep gaps on the map I would say to never build something in area 3. That way Primerose Tea Hills looks like a seperate town which I think is quite nice.

please can you build a area with only europeing buildings(high rise)

G'Day Biffa, my sanity has been restored, I've been watching so many of your awesome videos that I've stopped drinking coffee and now only drink TEA, tea at home and Liptons Iced Tea at work for Smoko and Lunch. I'm no longer agitated and my days are more bearable. Good on ya mate.

I gotta say: Thank you, Biffa. I started a city more or less at the same time as you, using the mod collection you provided, and the same map. I stopped playing in around a week because my pc couldn't handle the city of 120k people, and everything was starting to break (I got a lot of errors during the loading screens, maybe that's got something to do with it), but at the apex of my city, using the rules I learned from you while planning out my city, I had 93% traffic with despawning off! Of course, my city looked 100 times worse than yours because my main rule when playing is to be as greedy as possible and get as many people as I can in high density everywhere lol.

Something about deleting a tunnel full of trucks made me chuckle lol. Thank you for your sacrifice, you are now part of the foundation.

Thanks for the wonderful content, I've been playing for about a year and a half and love this game. About the parking AI, I've found the parking situations will affect the traffic. If you have red buildings, the people trying to get to those buildings will basically drive around in circles looking for somewhere to park keeping them on the road possibly causing problems, they will drive around looking for parking in up to 10 places before they give up and go home. I've cleared up traffic problems just by fixing the parking situation for busy/popular buildings.

Definitely think No Problem Atoll is the best spot to expand next! Great videos - they are huge inspiration for my own creativity in the game, and appreciate all that you do. Keep it up, Biffa! You're a gem.

Binge-watching your early stuff. Shouting at the TV 'the modern Biffa wouldn't do that!' lol. Option 1.

Hi Biffa, great series. 6:00 junction and all awkward junctions can be alleviated by joining them in one intersection and using the node controller shift function to move a particular crossing to where you want it to be :)

The Partial clover interchange you were working on at @31:50 has an extra left-turn lane that is occasionally blocking traffic. The offramp at screen left does not need that left turn lane. Traffic can go under the overpass, around the loop, and make a right-hand turn without needing that left turn lane.

One thing I have learned recently is that you don't want tons of intersections on your collector roads. My city is rectangular grids (like a lot of Australian towns are laid out) on the short end of the rectangle I only connect every 3rd or 4th street and have walking paths connect the end of the street to the collector road. Makes traffic much smoother. Highly recommend doing that with some of your junctions in the Tearantula area

amazing build, Biffa!! well done, chap

21:03 You've turned this entire industrial area into a series of interconnected roundabouts and I kind of love it.

Great Episode. For the intersection in the evergreen district (Name for that, maybe Evergreenteaville? Or Evergreentea District?), at 6;50 in the video, maybe making it a cross/plus junction would make it better, with some timed traffic lights. Enjoying the city grow, keep it up! :)

Mostly the tsunami one from the natural disaster DLC, extremely challenging but I feel like you have the creativity necessary! As always, keep up the great work 👍🏼 looking forward to the vanilla city later this week!

thanks for that! your traffic fixes always relax me and i needed that today 😩 in your industry area where you removed connection to that tiny roundabout you left a two way road smashing into a one way and the cars were turning around at that spot 😂😅 i vote.... hm, option 2 please😊

As for options, I go for option 2. I think there would be a more natural compulsion for a city designer to fill in the space between the airport and the existing city.

Uploading so much great content lately! I hope you remember to take some time for yourself and not burn yourself out though Biffa. Lots of love!

Definitely an option 1 fan. Could add in lots of tourist-y places along the waterfront, perhaps even do something with that extra little island to the right of it, perhaps put a park w/ some old ruins to explore or something. I remember an old city there was potential plans for doing something w/ ruins and I'd love to see that. Just that small island off to the side as a dedicated "come here and explore the history" place.

Another great episode Biffa. at 32:30 the parclo has a left turn where it doesn't need it, traffic should follow the loop round in order to turn right.

Always great to see asymmetric roads to the rescue. On the first roundabout you fixed, you forced everyone into the highway and they can’t use the roundabout.

Love your work Biffa and enjoyed the Red Bull series. Will you be doing another live KZread thing again soon?

If traffic becomes a problem in that original industry area again in future, maybe consider using the 4th exit from the roundabout at the east end. You currently only use it to access (I think) the mail sorting office, but you could extend it downwards and connect to that coastal/quayside industry road, maybe with sensible use of one-way so it doesn't just become a whole new choke point. On a separate note, happy to see that awkward tunnel by the forestry area finally bite the sawdust :D

That underground metro is so pleasing to look at

32:24. The motorway has two exits to go to the right of the screen. The slip-road to the right of the white building was right-turn only when you first put the junction in. Anyone going to the right of the screen originally went on the slip-road under the overpass.

12:30 When adding all the lanes in the area they added probably a half a dozen totally unnecessary traffic lights. They were honestly probably the reason any of that was still red when you were last looking at it. Also that 100k hump looks like it coming up fast! I can see the FPS drop in build mode already lol. Loving the (mostly :P ) daily uploads AND two cities! Keep 'em coming! Option 3! EDIT: 32:32 I mentioned before but can understand you missing the comment, you don't need the two lanes on the off ramp for L&R. The one across is the same exit, both meant to go R so you don't have any cross over. The junction across the highway on the other side is correct still.

You should download the two lane road with parking and trees from the workshop. You get the benefit of having tree lined roads and you also get to see your people parking on the streets. It would be perfect for your high density areas.

Hi biffa thanks for the hard work to provide us entertainment. Hope the family is doing okay. Would love some super modern high-rise in option 1. Or some old looking European style in option 2 or 3. Using narrow roads and maybe an old city wall like you see in Italy.

Fantastic channel you have here. A solution to your crowded metros download an asset from the workshop. I recommend the Sydney metro 6-car. But that's only because that's where I work

Props to the editor: the cold open really warms things up.

In the industrial area, I'd provide a bridge over the big industrial road to let the traffic get in and out of the cargo terminal. Half of them don't want to go anywhere into the city - just to the terminal and back. This will probably free up your roundabouts. Your parclo had the wrong traffic light sequence (TMPE timed default can't do it) - YUMBL has some excellent tutorials in how to set the lights and lanes for them. I did that in my city and they are fantastic at moving a lot of traffic.

Option 3. That shoreline could be left wild, or maybe add in some farms if the land is capable of supporting farms. Teakwood Bay comes to mind for a name. There some things to fix, which I'm not sure if you caught. - At the new bridge, there are still trees poking through the bridge. These are close to the forestry industry on the left. - Near the squishabout, there is a patch of marsh grass growing over the road. (Cook street I think it's called). - On Pierce street, I think, near the parks and whatnot, but along the road, your small carpark has a forest growing in the middle of it. There are probably others, but these are the ones I could remember.

9:50 at the Tearantula station, it could also have helped making the road construction a one-way only road. The one-way road between the university and the station becomes a roundabout-like structure, but if people desire going straight they can cut through straight. Option 3 sounds nice

You can always add more metro lines into the airport. It doesn't have to be just that line. That way you have more end spots and more trains taking the passengers in and out. You may have to add another metro terminal at/near the airport but it would fix the issue.

I’d love to see option 2 developed more around the airport with touristy hotels, casinos, and museums, and maybe a hub for helicopter tours…..? There is an opportunity for something touristy along the waterfront in this area, and also the development of a transportation hub. Maybe a monorail or tram running from the airport out to the waterfront area.

I just noticed that in Traffic Manager, you can now limit vehicles on train tracks! You can disallow pedestrian / freight trains.

Never had issues with asymetric roads myself, but that's partially because I use them for a specific purpose - to create dedicated turn lanes at intersections. I'll also sometimes use them to add a return lane to an otherwise one-way road in a service area, but that's it.

Joni Mitchell: They paved paradise and put up a parking lot Biffa: ooooh, I like the sound of that 😆

As a console player, I'm amazed at how many buses you use. I've found them to be inefficient other than for local neighborhood routes which take you to a metro station. I tend to use the metro a lot and even then, I use them in smaller loops with a bigger line inter-connecting it all. I remember seeing you mention that idea in a traffic fix you did (longest metro ever video). Look forward to your videos and am considering get the PC version so I can access the mods. You may have converted me...

I think that you should expand to option 3. It would be cool to see what kind of layout it will have

Hey Biffa, nice episode! The city growing nicely. But please check the workshop for busses with larger capacity. That would be more realistic i think. Or ask the guy how made the custom-made trams for you

option 1! I would love to see the rest of that island finally finished and if you do I can't wait to see what and how you do it!

Option 1 for me, and it would be nice to incorporate some sort of park/tourism area on the island too. Option 3 would look nice as a Country Park / Nature Reserve to maintain the green space on the map, might need to lose the massive intersection though!

I absolutely love the 1/2 assymetric road. Designated left turn Lanes are incredible

I’d love to see option 2 in the area around the new station by the airport filled in to utilize that space and connect everything together with that new train hub. But I think a Option one would be a better choice for now! You will be able to fill in that need for more workers in your city and it is already close enough to everything else so the citizens can travel to other areas using the public transportation services and connections you have in place already. Perhaps you can mix in a bit of both tourism and leisure in a new district. Might even be cool to add in a few Air travel options too!

good video Biffa 👍, think if you was doing a traffic fix video and saw you own industry area you may say "Tooooo many junctions close together"?🤣 ☕

I was just about to write a comment asking about your assortment of roads. Thanks for pointing out yourself. :D

I still can't believe you put building's right next to that round-a-bout where in past "fix your city" playthrough's you would often delete the building's and say "it's not good to have building's near your round-a-bout" but as always I love ❤ and probably watched ALL your videos my favorite is the "Disaster Series"

I vote for option 2. We put that station in but didn’t add it to any lines. It will probably be one of the busiest train stations due to its proximity to the airport.

Oh how I wish I could turn off pedestrian crossings on console 😫 good work again biffa 👍
