I managed to fit 12k population in my 1-tile city, it took absolutely ages but goes to show what is possible. I believe 15k could be on the table, but will take hours of research.

Chuck shouldn’t be governor considering he thinks a pharmacy is a cafe.

Seeing as we have a Benson, we need a Kramer suburb or Seinfeld City (With a whole lot of signs, something like NYC's Time Square. Advertising, EVERYWHERE, where the mayor is involved with the mafia in one way or another).

that DOT & developing is legit new & out of all the city.

I look at the super nodes and I think they are prime locations for car accidents, the first would be a beautiful trumpet and the rest 3 lane roundabouts, I don't know if it's an American thing but you avoid roundabouts in all possible places, I hope you see if it works. Good video nonetheless👍

My man forgot trumpet interchanges exist

you should add some dirt road access paths along the major power lines. gotta get the linemen to the jobsite after all! :D just gotta make sure regular traffic doesn't try using them.

01:45 Wait... did Mr and Mrs CPP just move to Magnolia County??

🪑

For me personally this is the content why I am here. CS with the special CPP touch. I myself do not care about livestreams or other games at all. So thank you very much for the 2nd. "normal" episode in a row and pretty close to each other.

🚶‍♀️🦿🦵🧞‍♂️🚴💍

are you ever going to do some river infrastructure? a big river like that will flood at least ones a year in the spring but all bridges are so low and there arent any dykes

Nice video The sad thing is, Cities traffic is still horrendeous, can't wait for Trafic Manager mod to come. But watching cities traffic drive like idiots, changing lanes all over the place, driving on the left road of a 4 lane road to shortly before the intersection to get to the right to then drive straight

I am really struggling with the idea of the new bridge at 18:57, a small alley bridge that long, especially when there is a highway bridge just a little farther upstream. I agree with the need for these additional connections, but I think reusing the existing bridge makes sense. You could connect the road coming from Benson into the trumpet interchange with a little reconfiguring.

I'm fairly sure the "one property owner" who's not cooperating with the rebuild has already left town or died as you cut them off from power & water about halfway thru the episode. :-)

The idea that this sort of thing would work now and 20 years from now made me choke on my coffee. As much as I love your content, the exposure to how city planning works in the real world is terrifying at times.

i love the series and i love how real is it but god! realistic goverments are so annoying 😆 what do you mean the first option is not "fair"? its supposed to be not fair so people will choose public transit instead of cars! i dont play cities skylines but if theres an option i suggest you to add some bus lanes so buses are still a better option than cars. great episode Phil!

if youre wondering why there is a gap in the divided road at 33:08 its likely because there is a uturn allowed there. use the traffic mod to remove it and it should make it look alot better :)

I'm a bit late to it, but I'm excited for a new series!

CPP: “we’re going to have a very large roundabout as the terminus here” UK viewers: aww that’s a cute little roundabout

Maybe you could renovate the roads that go around the property owner’s farm to facilitate Respect Lane as a major movement and make the less used parallel segments into Lindbergh Lane. Even though it won’t be perfectly parallel, it would be an organic way to keep connectivity

It's sad that road planning arguments in America are "it's not fair for everyone!". Well, duh, it's not supposed to be. You're supposed to make public transport more attractive than personal cars with things like bus lanes. At least that's how most of Europe tackle it.

we had something similar like the owners of the property not wanting to sell part of their property after a severe flood catastrophy a few years ago. they wanted to build a dam to prevent new floods, one owner didn't sell part of his property needed to build it so now the dam has a hole the width of the property. because of the stupidity of one person...

Is there a reason why you prefer to use those supernodes over roundabouts? They look fairly complex, I find It hard to believe they are safer and more efficient than a roundabout

🏝

We need more manor lords content

I like how this series is realistic about state politics. Even if the idea is terrible, it gets built anyway.

americans will do anything to avoid a roundabout

27:08 "this is going to provide water and power" *immediately disconnects water and power to the farm*

Now we have the problem with the front road to solve (story wise). What if a neighbour who owns the land behind their farm just decides to put a dirt road there so that people can drive the entire way with little detour. Would create interesting street layouts in the distant future too

man you do some crzy shit that drives me insaen every episode, but man does it look pretty afterwards (at least most times)

I think the farms (and the quarry) opposit to Fruitvale need their own connection to the highway. All the heavy traffic now Passes through the new supernode in the residential area next to it

Fun video as always Phil! I was biving with the first half hour of the video but then the University Avenue Interchange gave me a stroke xD

🚖🚖🚖

0:48 - 1:10 gave me a screaming fit... Goddammit, I hate car-first infrastructure design so much :D

🔥

Love this series 🎉❤

lol the 'choose your own adventure' lane

1:00 and it isn't fair for trains, bikes etc

0:43 just add a designated bus lane?

I love me some good ol fashioned traffic engineering, Phil! That's one of the biggest payoffs for me in how regional development comes together. If I might, I don't think that the general public considers turning lanes to be 'additional lanes.' Turning lanes are one of those things that are ideally unnoticed because if someone notices something about turning\turning lanes, it means something is wrong. Take, for an example I know you know, Speer Boulevard. It has a reputation as being an 8 lane traffic monster despite the fact it (even with the river) takes up less space than a suburban two-laner with two left turn lanes and one right. The "one more lane bro" thing doesn't apply imo to turn lanes. Just a weird perceptual thing; maybe people overlook turn lanes because of their convenience. Same perhaps is true, although less so, about on- and off- ramp lanes. Not gonna find many people protesting an additional turn lane assuming the road is designed to handle it on both sides.

Tbh, this feels more like an update to CSOG than CS2. Why they decided to make a whole new game that looks virtually the same when they already had an insanely successful game is beyond me.

Another great video..... Can you share your lumina settings?

Wtf did you do to that Fruitvale interchange!? I'm beginning to think that you are not in fact a real city planner...

Petition for a City Planner Plays Cinematic Universe fandom wiki. I'm in love with the lore here.

The speeds on the new University bridge do not make sense.

Veto that #@$%! If the legislation doesn't want to allow buses on the shoulder, then paint one of the existing lanes red and kick personal cars out of it. Two can play the stubborn game.
