  • So I tried several town planning methods but it really took me a while to figure out the best solution for these specific problem areas... but hey, at least I figured it out in the end.
    My designs come from my experience as a Town Planner IRL and from in-game experience.

      TG Leviathan Where'd you find that? More countries drive on the right than the left from what I've read, a lot more. Most of the countries that drive on the left today were previously controlled British territories and colonies. There's only about 15-20 countries that drive on the left compared to the 100+ that drive on the right.

      After 3 city attempts, I was pretty good at making the suburban areas but I really had troubles making a city centre which is compact and the traffic was just not moving in the main roads since people need the main road to travel to the city centre and industrial estates :/
      I only bought the game a week ago though so my city isn't even that large yet. I might have to restart once I find a major problem again like I did with my other 4 attempts.

      Probably a part of why these sorts of more efficient interchanges are rarely attempted in real life. They need to be navigable by slow, distracted human beings who are generally very poor at operating machines at high velocities and making split second decisions. Now, fully automated urban traffic networks... there is a wealth of improvement waiting to be unlocked if autonomous vehicles ever get perfected.

      I once made a city using massive elevated pedestrian paths that allowed you to walk down ramps onto every single street in the city. Pedestrian traffic in the sky was incredible, with no stopping for any roads along the way to slow them down. Cims really like to walk.

      Yeah but that happens in real life too. Emergency Vehicles can use the tram line lane in the game. If it backup to surronding roads, your intersections are too near too each other. I personally play C:S for the reality factor, not to build the perfect city where noone has to stop ever on a intersection.

  • @Tornadic_Outlaw
    @Tornadic_Outlaw Před 7 lety +31

    The problem at 11:07 where the cars only go through the intersection a few at a time is caused by the proximity of the intersections. The traffic is set not to block an intersection, so the game only sends enough cars to fill the small gap before the next intersection. Since the traffic exiting the highway shouldn't have to stop once they are through the intersection, you could use traffic manager to turn of the due not block intersection rule. (it is under intersection or junction restrictions, and can be done per street)

    I always try to give industrial areas their own highway connections plus train and ship connections and try to built instead of 1 big industrial area rather several small areas. The major cause of traffic problems are in my experience often trucks of the industrial areas who traversing with traffic of the other city parts. And I see a lot of trucks among your traffic jam so maybe a better separation of those industrial parts would help you to prevent those big traffic issues for the future.

    The lane control mod is amazing. I once used it to make two major roads combine onto a 6-lane (one way) short road so that three lanes came in from each side, they got a chance to change lanes, then it went out in 3 different directions (two lanes each). Turned a major congestion into a stop-free intersection.

  • @bobgrey5334
    @bobgrey5334 Před 7 lety

    At the main junction, when setting the timed lights, set the light mode to where it has separate left turn lights and straight lights, so that you can let the offramps have a green left while the cross road is going. That will allow a smooth, constant flow of traffic in the left turn lane to get all those cars out of the way.

  • @reireyes1275
    @reireyes1275 Před 7 lety

    One trick in Cities: Skylines when using TMPE is don't copy the timings of real world traffic lights. I usually use a 4-16 second timed traffic light for main roads, and 4-8 for the less busy ones in an intersection. The reason is so that the traffic doesn't get enough time to build up on any side. You want them flowing ASAP, and 4 (min)-16 (max) are values I've found to have the best balance. The timed traffic lights are very smart and will adjust to the actual traffic flow. I feel like in the game, 20 seconds is too long even for major intersections.
    And yeah, building up public transport will really cut down on car usage, which will reduce traffic.

  • @zioming
    @zioming Před 7 lety +1

    There's something they do in my country I don't see here, which would really help, namely an on/off green light on the right side. Since turning right from the right-most lane doesn't interfere much with the rest of the traffic, it allows people trying to make such turn, to do so, as if they were behind a STOP sign, during a phase when a red light is preventing them from going forward or turning left.

    • @zioming
      @zioming Před 7 lety

      The turning lanes on the second intersection kind of work on the same principle, but they do take up more space.

  • @undead890
    @undead890 Před 6 lety

    I had pretty bad traffic in one of my cities before, my city is grid based and the main road led straight to a roundabout that itself had a lot of traffic. What I did to fix this was create a sort of onramp and offramp for the roundabout onto the main road as well as I added timed traffic lights along the entire length of the main road leading out and into the city so that cars could go nonstop from one end of the road to the other pretty quickly. Took that area from a solid red to light yellow green for the most part.

  • @JanGaarni
    @JanGaarni Před 6 lety

  • @Bobby_Go
    @Bobby_Go Před 7 lety +4

    I have a question concerning the lane you talked about at 5:20. Could you make it so that it is always green aside from the pedestrian cross time? It is a left turning lane that doesn't intersect with any other lane and it goes into a dedicated lane that no other lanes merge into. For all intents and purposes, couldn't those two lanes be considered their own "street"?

    • @IceSpoon
      @IceSpoon Před 7 lety

      I do that sometimes on my own games, it works "sometimes". The issue is that when they want to connect to the highway, the two lanes could choose the same highway lane. It's still fixable through the Lane Connector Mod, but they WILL do that lane fusion at one point nevertheless.

    • @leopold7562
      @leopold7562 Před 7 lety

      Bobby_Go, yes, the Traffic President mod allows you to change the mode of the traffic lights, so you can have one which is dedicated to traffic turning in one direction, or separate lights for every single direction if you so wish (and even one to separate traffic from trams, which is very cool!) I use it all the time at junctions where there's no conflict and it really helps things flow. I also use it when I want a major road to take a sharp turn, but the automatic lights want to bring in a minor road facing the main one.

  • @jayc1139
    @jayc1139 Před 6 lety

    I've had success with decreasing highway traffic, especially with damn 2 lane merging from trucks, by downgrading the highway to a 2 lane rather than the vanilla 3 lane roads. Obviously this forces the vehicles who wish to merge left or right to stay left or right rather than skipping in front of cars going down the middle lane of the 3 lane road highway. I think tho, like the intersection where you put a tunnel under it...it's good to have a 3 lane road since there are 3 directions to turn as you've prioritized certain lanes for certain directions.

  • @megagig5501

    Usually with single point interchanges they have slip lanes for people making right turns or in your case left turns. That way they don’t build on the highway and can easily merge into traffic without being held up at the light.

Trains carry people from 4 specific parts of the city to 1 main station from there they can use the tram to get to downtown or parks or they can go to other parts of the city. The tram carry people to the main roads and buses carry people from the main roads to the alley ways and little streets.

    Извини, что лезу со своим мнением, просто твой ролик вызвал во мне много эмоций. Крассава, что ты смог решить такую огромную проблему с трафиком. Крассава.
    Но
    Можно проще.
    Для предотвращения пробок нужно придерживаться всего двух правил:
    1) делать как можно меньше пересечений потоков
    2) на дорогах должно быть как можно меньше машин.
    И я думаю есть много способов следовать этим правилам.
    Например, использовать одностороннее движение.
    На развязках по ходу движения делать сначала съезды, а потом заезды. Рельсовый транспорт развивать, не пересекать его с дорогами. Тогда можно вообще обойтись без трафик менеджера, светофоров и стопов.

  • @themaximus144
    @themaximus144 Před 6 lety

    This probably wouldn't work in a real city, but in situations like this in Cities Skylines, I tend to try to avoid stop lights all together. Instead I just use on and off ramps. So I would basically dig the same tunnel you dug, but then rather than have all the on and off ramps converge to a point, I would just have 2 ramps connecting to each side of each road at varrying points. An on and an off ramp for each side. This makes it so that cars never have to make a left turn, and can simply merge into oncoming traffic as necessary. They only ever have to turn right onto their off ramp, which then becomes in on ramp which only allows them to enter in the same direction as the traffic is moving on the side of the road the on ramp connects with. It can look pretty ugly, what with all the ramps having to either overlap on top of each other at varying heights, or be dug underground at varying depths, and it takes up a lot of space, but, in my cities at least, it really helped with traffic flow. It usually works best for me if the off ramp on a particular side of a road is positioned such that cars reach it before the on ramp. This helps prevent cars coming out of the on ramp from getting in the way of cars trying to switch lanes to get to the off ramp.

    The timed traffic lights actually work great in changing their times dynamically, if you let them, way better then you can do that with fixed times.

    @PCtutorialKid Před 7 lety

    I think incorporating a metro, a commuter rail, and more buses would go a long way to help this traffic, you should focus on that next episode! There seems to be a lot of traffic for a city with such a small population even with the solutions showed in this video.

  • @anfieldrapper77
    @anfieldrapper77 Před 7 lety

    Good logic sir but personally I would've tried to utilise the roundabout and not have the road that follows the river intersect with the highways at all, but again you provided a good working solution to what is as we all know, a mini game in itself - traffic!!!!

  • @diezel5267
    @diezel5267 Před 7 lety

    In the top lane at 11:09, they're stopping because you'll need to edit junction restrictions to allow vehicles to enter a blocked junction

    I think the best way to solve that traffic problem is to maximize the use of public transort like subway system or trains connecting the islands. In that way, you could decrease the number of vehicles using the roads. You may also consider building another bridge to divert traffic congestion.

  • @BauKim
    @BauKim Před 6 lety

    Seems like the tunnel was a good idea but IMHO the six lane cross was kind of an over kill cluster. I think in such a situation with four entries on different preferences a roundabout may work better.

  • @burkemoras
    @burkemoras Před 6 lety

    The intersection you built at the beginning is called a SPUI: Single Point Urban Interchange

  •  Před 7 lety

    In CSL, I prefer DDIs over SPUIs since they look much nicer and are easier to manage. Especially as a dumbell hybrid they turned out to be very useful in my city.
    Maybe you should also try out roundabout interchanges with direct slip roads or even a basketweave interchange if the situation allows it.

  • @nucha2fb

    @Zoutsteen Před 7 lety

    You could try solve it with a multilane roundabout.
    You could check out vehicle density charts to decide nr of lanes.
    You could verify if you might not need another bridge based on 2nd check.

  • @Lkease
    @Lkease Před 6 lety

    Traffic turning left out off of an off ramp shouldn’t have to stop at an intersection, even if it is the mini highway. An interchange would have made traffic flow much smoother even if it meant that it would take up more space.

  • @MarshalN
    @MarshalN Před 6 lety

    For your first intersection why not make a ramp directly from the coastline highway onto the bridge, avoiding the intersection altogether?

I have to say that (i know its your job too) but you totally know what your doing lol i just wish i was. Ive been looking at some of your videos and im hoping i can take in what your teaching. My first city failed in an hour because i ran out of money and didnt have a sewage facility connected properly lol ive kinda worked out about water, sewage and power now, and yeap that does help. Ive still a million and one things to learn, especially about traffic flow. I have a small town around 2.900 people. I need to figure out how best to get traffic off the motorway and into the city now. I cant seem to get the premade intersections or roundabouts to connect properly and i think thats a bit of a problem. Im such a noob at this game.

    3:17 idk if this is a good idea but would it be possible to not have an intersection go to the left side, but instead having people who go straight go over or under the intersection, avoiding it, and the people going to the other side would have one way roads going to the left side. Then those who want to use the ramps could go directly from the road, not having to drive to the intersection and wait. What do you people think?

    Would you say this game is incomplete without the TM and advanced roads mod? I've got a 70k city now and am stuck with 6 lane roads filling up because my intersections are so greatly inefficient.

    RIP frame rate. But all in all,a pretty genius solution. I only have 2 things to ask though. 1. make a video on a big ring road around the city that all highways connect to and make it raised off the the ground so it's in the air and had roads running under it. 2. Make a short video explaining how to make timed interactions with that mod (because I have it too) because it's not as straight forward as one might think. It's very useful and I know a few places where I could use timed lights.

      Late reply, but.... No, that wouldn't help much.
      I mean yeah, it often really fixes traffic to just turn them off, but I am almost sure it wouldn't work there. There was just to much traffic going on from all sides. They will eventually block each other creating a mess again.
      In my totally fucked up town I tried that on several occations too, in fact disabling the traffic lights is often the first thing I do, but there is just only so much traffic a simple crossing can handle without backups...
