I'm glad you've finally embraced efficient highway design dude 😅
RCE: connoisseur of the strongest shape 😅
I literally came here to Say RCE will be proud of that junction 😂
He's learned from the best
Its awesome when some of your favorite youtubers comment on other favorites youtubers videos.
My life is complete. I came here to comment about RCE loving that efficient design, and here he is.
Never thought I'd spend half an hour watching Biffa build one road 😜
Square roads, round roads, just makes you wonder why there is a suspicious lack of polyhedral roads.
What next? Watching paint dry?
@@soberhippie Already watched that on RTGame's channel in January 2020 😅
Another very British road feature is a bypass that got cancelled due to finding a rare newt, leaving an expensive road to nowhere with a junction at the end 😂
😂
You're not alone...in USA (Texas) they found a blind spider that they thought was extinct! 5 year delay to deal with the unextinct blind spider! 🕷 I wanted to go dump a load of pesticides!!
😆
I love that at your interchange at 15:00 you have the tunnel coming out of the hill at a higher elevation and the motorway down on the valley, but you choose to lover the road from the tunnel onto the ground and raise the motorway into a bridge :)))
19:38 why not turn the road into a tunnel?
27:40 I had the same experience in my one of my builds: The tools, it seems, don't know how to orient the segments correctly to build a bridge. The segments need to alternate orientation on either sides of the pillars.
This is a bug that needs to be fixed.
they also don't know to add the pillars to the bridge.
p.s. now that you have a ring road, remove the highways from the city center.
That suspension bridge over "nothing" both feels like overkill as a design and also the coolest thing on such a road that it literally becomes a landmark. The views facing outward specifically on that bridge would be incredible, each way, and the suspensions actually become a feature of the city's horizon/skyline.
I don't entirely know if it's realistic, I lived in true flat-lands so I have no basis of knowledge. All I know is that it looks totally rad.
The "flatten this out to down there" saga made me laugh so hard 😂
I spent about ten minutes laughing about that 🤣
I watched this on the subway. People probably thought I was that guy.
Biffa: "I don't want to build a partial cloverleaf, I like the junction the way it is"
Also Biffa: Builds a partial cloverleaf by accident
Absolutely! (Just don't call it a folded diamond!)
As long as the on-ramps connect after the off-ramps it's all good. :D
I love the idea that anyone that hasn't had the experience of driving on the m25 might actually think its a good road
It was almost believable. Biffa made it sound really delightful.
It's a perfectly fine road at 1am...
Sounded great until he put lights on it, then I was like wait that road doesnt seem as good as it sounded. Places like Houston, TX nail the ring road way better
To be fair there were at first meant to be like four series of ring roads at different distances to the center. All but what became the M25 were cancelled for some reason or another.
It's basically one road doing the job of 4.
I quite like those weird pillars in the road - makes it like some kind of art installation 😂 a landmark!
Road Henge. (Shame they weren't traffic cones, then it could be Cone Henge...)
Biffa: Terrain? What terrain?
...Get the dynamite at the ready...
Fire in the hole!
He may have picked up some tricks from CPP, but "respect the topography" isn't one of them.
@@simongeard4824
Whom or what is CPP?
@@PerfectAlibi1 CPP = "City Planner Plays", another popular Cities Skylines channel. Biffa references him reasonably often.
@@simongeard4824
Ah, I get the full name now. ^^
Respecting the topography is not in Biffa's playbook today! 😆
I imagined something much smaller and simpler, so I guess Biffa got the British standard of overbuilding and overspending right!
No it must be time for the local council to spend their budget for the year, they say they have no money all year then Feb/ March time there are roadworks and building everywhere!!
Great vid. My ocd kicked in with that last junction, the traffic is unable to access the other motorways from all directions. Bottom can go left and straight, top - left and straight, ringroad from the left is sorted, but from the top can't get off to either. Cheers :D
On the bridged section by the river, I think it would be cool to extend out the water under it to be a bigger lake. That might make a bit more sense as to why a large bridge was built in that area. Loving the series Biffa!
The blue bridge picture you used in this video is from my hometown! It's an old railroad bridge built in the late 1800s that replaced a bridge that was destroyed by a logjam. It was converted to a footbridge in the heart of our downtown area in the 1980s.
Grand Rapids Michigan?
Or as Bon Bon pronounces it, Mitchigan 😆
Don't forget to put the plans for the bypass up on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”
😆😆😆
I think that RCE has had an influence on Biffa. You can see he has embraced the art of efficient shapes especially with the first junction that he re-did😂
RCE taking pointers from Spiff,
Biffa taking pointers on efficient road construction from RCE. And Spiff just being a fair and totally balanced Brit
@@raistlin8648 Efficient road construction 🍝
I was thinking the same thing!!! Efficient minds think alike clearly 🤔 👌 😆
RCE ? The internet says it means Registered Civil Engineer but i'm not sure in this case...🤔
@@noemierollindedebeaumont1130 real civil engineer (RCE) its a page watch his poly bridge videos all will make sense
As always, great video. Maybe add an interchange nearest the old village area after coming through the mountain with the ring road. More connections are good when they are strageic.
that tunnel in the middle of the field doesn't really make sense, unless you have something there you're tunneling under, like they did with Stone Henge. I know there's an asset that looks kinda like Stone Henge in the game, I think you should add it in the middle of the section that tunnel is running through and make it into a park.
Just to make it EXTRA British, he managed to build Stone Henge in the middle of his road! He should make it a zone called "Road Henge" 🤣
In the Netherlands we have a lot of ring roads too.
Literally named after the city and the side of the city its on.
Even smaler places have ring roads. So love that you added it.
Hey! There is an option in TMPE to have dedicated turning lanes at all possible junctions automatically. It could maybe save you the hassle of checking every junction. Keep up the good work!
Yooooo get the laptop, get the snacks, and get THE TEA, BIFFA JUST UPLOADED!!!
I am laughing so hard at 10:21, I am legit snorting and crying. 🤣
Biffa, you always manage to make me laugh. I love it.
Especially when our French friend commented on how long it took 😝😆😆
The most quintessential British thing is to point out that photo wasn't of Big Ben.
I do like the ring road though.
:P
I liked the RoadHenge pillars on the intersection, Very fancy! I use bridge pillars as park decorations in my builds. If you need to build a bendy bridge you draw them straight and then you can use the draw at line tool to curve the bridge so it renders all of the elements correctly. Keep up the great content Biffa!
Thanks for featuring my comment. Thought I was seeing things first time but the second time confirmed it lol! Liking the change to the junction you built last time and the M Twentea 5 (or North and South Stircular if you prefer) is looking mighty spiffing.
21:16 Clearly Biffa's a hoopy frood who knows where his towel is.
For the Non-Brits. The M25 is also known as "The UK's Largest Car Park" - Which should give y'all an idea of how 'loved' it is by those of us who have to use it regularly
Underground bridges are a great addition to our lexicon 😆
I always put in a ring road on my builds. As the population grows, you really need one. Thanks Biffa.
Very nice build, infrastructure builds can be loads of fun. Been fun watching these towns grow. Excited to see what's next for the Cims. Great video as always.
Love the ringroad, it makes for a really natural addition to the city in terms of infrastructure!! One thought i had was that you could turn the first highway intersection you made 90 degrees. the ringroad that comes out from the tunnel is at a higher altitude than the highway going straight into the city from the outside connection, so it may be more natural that the ringroad would be the bridge that goes above the motorway and not opposite. :) it would also mean the ringroad could continue at a higher altitude on the opposite side of the 'valley'' so it doesnt have to cut so deep into the mountain\slope. Altho it would require you to do more work with the ringroad - not that us viewers mind watching that - its one of the reasons why we love watching you! :D
After watching the entire episode, which was very entertaining, I am only just still puzzled about what I've seen at 3:45 There are soo many parked cars and I wonder why they all parked their cars out there. Is there something nearby being desperate for a parking lot? But other then that I love the new ring road and all the oppurinities you're creating with it ☺
The alternate title for this video should be "Biffa Disrespects the topography like never before!" Motorways sunk a hundred feet into the terrain, massive motorway intersections placed without any grading prior to the roadbed being placed. Chaos everywhere! Angry intersections attempt to throw pillars from nowhere at him to stop the rampage, but it is all to no avail! Biffa and his dastardly game Mods triumph in the end! Although anarchy gave him some bridge issues for a bit he soon had it tamed.
Great idea about the ring road! Lived in NL for about 3 yrs and they had ring roads also. Made it easy for me to figure out where to go !! You did a great job getting it all where it needs to be!!
What it looks like to me is that the ring road can also be used (in the areas where it goes through the countryside) as the main connector for any future expansion, whether it be on the inside of the ring road or the outside! Just pop a junction in and you're good!
Ring roads definitely are something. I live just outside Edmonton Alberta Canada. And in the 80s we started construction on our ring road. Fast forward to the late 2010s when completion finally happened and people celebrated. There was the "we done bitchs" construction sign. People driving the whole ring road and timing it. (It's about 45 minutes to do the full loop unless it's rush hour.) And it helped move a lot of traffic off of the through highway and city streets. Gotta love a good ring road.
I’m from Houston, Texas and we have not one, not two, but three loops around the city.
Quite possibly the best Biffa episode to date. Of the hundreds of episodes I have enjoyed - this is possibly the most satisfying of all! Love it!
Wow, thanks!
I think Real Civic Engineer would be proud how you changed the connection of the ring round in the south: You created the most efficient road connection mankind ever known.
Great build! In the US the ring road/loop roads are all over the place in the big cities. In my current build i added a partial ring road (city is along the shore) and it helps with traffic.
0:24 the ring road in Glasgow is half built
There’s also a lot of ring roads in America, eg. Tulsa, Los Angeles, Dallas …
0:40 Biffa: The M25!
Arthur roadrage: THE FRE**ING M25!
I've always called you Biffa the Builder, similar to Bob the Builder.
Can Biffa build it? Yes, he can.
So may I expect you would fill inside the ring road with development?
It would be even better with some more smaller tiny towns/villages dotted outside of it.
Thanks as always mate, cheers
My Hugo There mug has arrived, and I love it so much!! I'm excited for it to join my favourite mug line-up!
Wonderful! Thankyou and enjoy the tea! 😁
With a main ring road added in, I would actually remove the highways running straight through the city now, or at least downgrade them to arterial roads.
Just considering that most UK cities don't have motorways running through them, I feel like it would be more authentic, plus encouraging any traffic just passing the city to actually use the ring road now and not go straight through it.
I love the Network Multitool, but I've noticed it's basically anarchy for slopes of any sort (like your attempt to have it build a bridge). Definitely needs a bit of work there. But man, it's saved me SO MUCH TIME.
0:11 And of course Henry the Horse dancing the waltz
21:16 I’ve actually tried playing the game with all tiles unlocked and started on the outskirts creating lots of small villages and building towards the town centre as stuff unlocks. I’ve always felt that the starting square should be off centre.
That big junction with the new quay wall bit... the lanes off hte motorway are sharp turns if you're coming from one direction... they look like motorway > motorway sliplanes when they're actually coming onto a local road so should come into a roundabout or traffic light junction where you can go both ways on the ring road.
Time for some distribution depots by some of these junctions now and some factories! A couple more villages outside the ring road would be nice as well to connect up to as the city expands.
18:26 that has to be called the Pillars of Herculteas (Hercules) junction, also Nice HG2G reference a bit later on Biffa is a cool frood who really knows where his towel is....
There's ring-roads in the US.
For instance the 494-694 loop around the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul that also runs through Bloomington MN.
We're just finishing up our ring road in Calgary, AB. The best thing that's happened here in years.
Can I suggest a huge lake underneath that long bridge section with possibly some little villages and/or a Universitea built around it and call the entire district "Lake Blightea"? Could definitely be like a leisure and tourism district with a built in education district.
Great video, as always. I just think that the trumpet that you modified to allow the fourth movement to happen could be changed into a propper system interchange, maybe a double bypass roundabout.
I did a one-way ring road around the city. So the incoming traffic can only go one-way. Counterclockwise. American roads. haha. But did it with everything un-locked. to put the freeway down before starting the city. Keep up the great videos your cities look great. Wish had it on pc to use all the cool mods.
I could watch you Build for hours, its very awesome to see your projects come to life!
The picture of the Big Ben was definitely before the 53 got cut back from Whitehall, Horse Guards.
One thing I've noticed is that the slip road on the final junction of the video coming off the road heading away from Blightea wants angling so cars can turn right easier (Probably wants another lane, too).
The bridge at the northern (?) part of the Teawold Circle (name suggestion inside) with the hill in the back looks awesome 😍.
To make the existing motorway through center Bligthea less attractive for through traffic, I suggest to add toll station on the entries to town and reduce speed limits as well.
When you mentioned the M25 you forgot about the inner ring road. I’m old enough to remember before the M25 was built and the North and South Circular did the same job but further in.
I generally like the ring road. It is a little bit far outside, but further radial roads connecting to it could increase the utilization ...
Maybe in a future city you can imitate London's system of multiple terminus railway stations around its city centre ...
My home town in Reno, Nevada USA has a big ring road that goes around the outside of the city. Although the city has over grown it now.
Ring roads look a bit like the loop system here in pheonix metro. Loop-101 -202 and -303 give highway access throughout the city as well as integrating I-10 and I-17. Although here the loops have exits on a roughly 1 mile interval that connects it to surface level arterial streets
I haven’t been feeling well this week so I was so jazzed to see a new Biffa upload, and even more so when I saw it was building a ring road (am I weird? Probably!) Thanks for all the great content Biffa!
Honestly, you and the Spiffing Brit are what comes to my mind first when I think of "British"
:-)
It's all perfectly balanced with lane mathematics, naturally.
You should have slightly rotated the interchange to line up with the ring road, that would have meant the north exit also lining up to avoid the hill.
I love these types of skylines build videos. Biffa, you're a leg/end...cheers mate!
@21:30; why not have the new ring road meet up with the stub road from the initial roundabout? Simply extend the ring road beyond the roundabout, bridge the river and curve back in to connect with 4 lane grass median road dangling from roundabout; keeping trumpet exchange intact.
id love to see you recreate the magic roundabout in blightea
I believe there's already a video on the channel where the Magic Roundabout is created! It's really confusing as the traffic direction changes in the middle.
@@andrewwhewell6422 time to sift through all of biffas videos!
Nice video as always! I really like the style of intros you do atm.
Ahh, the London Orbital Carpark. Many a happy hour spent talking to my fellow denizens as we wait for the firefighters to mop up after the one person that couldn't follow the simple brief of "keep it on the black stuff". Many, many happy hours!
26:31 Thats an interesting bridge if I've ever seen one Biffa!
uhhh the mirror objects function !!!!! thanks for clearing this for me big man, Ive seen this and had no idea how it works but now I know thanks to the great Biffazaur
That mirrored junction looks like a bow and arrow!
The ring road that goes along the side opposite the lake needs to me a motorway (highway), the interchange needs to be grade separated and free-flowing between the tunnel ring road and river crossing. Keep the inbound motorway from there; if you want to terminate it in the city proper, that first roundabout would be a good spot.
Nice build. All that's missing are a few Service Stations and of course...
road works. 😉😀
Loved it. It made me suffer seeing all the crazy terrain cuts during the process 😅 but the final result is great
Ringing endorsement from this Brit. Great build, Biffa!
There are a number of "ring" roads in America...the ones that come to my mind are the ones around Baltimore and Washington DC. We call them "beltways". So, our sports rivalries are the Battle of the Beltways!
Atlanta I-285, also known as Capital circle I think, Or at least it was. And like the beltway, a parking lot for no reason on a Sunday afternoon.
Ohhh biffa you’ve done it again. Just laying down to rest after a hectic day and then I open my phone to see a new video. Your a legend!!
I'm now curious, having seen a reference to the long lost and half-unbuilt Glasgow Ring Road, whether this one will ever be completed...!
Love this build
Really like your videos as always! Imagine how cool they will be on Cities Skylines 2!!!😃🙌🏻The new junction on the south of the ring road looks much better. Great job!
That was unreal 👏 absolutely loved it biffa looking forward to the detailing of the ring road and the high way on Blightea-on-the-wold
Keep up the good work chris :)
Thanks for all your hard work! Love this. One thing though...
Please, more footy pitches. COYS
On it!
Near the river you should build canary wharf useing the financial add on pack and the unique build of the gurkin.
Small world moment when a blue bridge flashes up for a second and sure enough... It's the local bridge known as "the blue bridge" here in my city in west Michigan
Sir Biffa, I am interested in a large Hillside Estate with MixResidential-Commercial Posh Country Estate Vibe in Your Land. Would be nice to see when you expand your population next. Best Thanks🎉❤😊
Mention @CityPlannerPlays
Very nice episode, soon I will also be able to enjoy the English Ringroads...
13:15 Pro-Level:
The on- and offramps starts right after the tunnel... That might looked even better and saved a lot of space...
Great road! Though I’d recommend upping the speed limit on the road that bypasses the motorway to the thornaby industrial estate (the one you reconnected near the end of the video) so it actually gets used
"Then you've got a Hyperspace Bypass... that's how it goes!" might be one of my favorite Biffa-isms ever.
"All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now."
I can't hear anything about the M25 without thinking of Good Omens and Crowley's description of how he influenced it.
Biffa The picture of the Blue Bridge in this video is from my home city, Grand Rapids Mi, aptly named "The Blue Bridge" LOL
Loving the shape of that new 2 lane road. Nice rocket ship with 2 large balls haha
At 26:50, you say "bridge", but the word you're probably looking for is "viaduct". More or less the same thing, but if you're doing it to deal with height issues - like crossing a valley without descending into it - then viaduct is the more appropriate word.
Well, that might be the best intro I've seen for a long time! :D
How very British! A great episode and it was just building one road? I wish there were more junctions for highways on PS4 version. They make such a massive difference!
How many times you did the same thing fixing that terrain. Haha you must of slapped your forehead at that. 🤣😅.
I think this was a great addition.
😁
