Thanks for fixing my traffic Biffa :-D cant wait to learn from the best!
Hiya X!
Good luck
Hey X. How's Evil X doing?
Thanks for sending it in X, was great fun :-)
Aside from fixing everything with TMPE, there are some things in this city that contribute to traffic getting so bad in the first place:
- Concentrated large areas of commercial and industrial zoning.
- At-grade roundabout on a motorway (combined with high trip-generating uses). Simulates quite well what would happen if you did the same thing on the M25 in real life (London metropolitan ring)
City Planner Plays has good tips for zoning (a.k.a. land use).
Oh, man! Another city fix! I remember subscribing in 2019 for this type of content and now it makes me feel nostalgic!
The ability to adjust intersections (dedicated turning lanes, yield, lane selector) would be such a huge boost to the Vanilla Game. That should be their next update.
I will always and forever hate PC gaming. CS was created for PC I believe but once they developers start supporting these mods rather than the staff, I can't help but feel abandoned and betrayed. So in turn I have 0 respect for those who use mods when playing the game. As for the updates, yes I can't blame the devs for letting people experiment and create mods for free then implement them to the game as DLC for us to purchase. I love capitalism
@@KantoCacho Your anger at mod users is misdirected. Aim it at Paradox, the publisher, forcing CO to spend all their time cannibalizing mods for DLC content.
@@KantoCacho how tf u gonna mad at other /players/ who just bettering their own gameplay using mods? mods are a staple for ANY pc game. whether that be fps, rpgs, simulations, etc. if a fanbase is dedicated enough to their game then ofc some ppl are gonna mod it to suit themselves better. paradox's greedy money shilling with dlcs that shouldve just been updates to the base game is their own problem. modders aint got nothing to do w that
Dont hate the modding community man, they are 85% of the inspiration for what the game devs decide to add!
build it like you would in a real city and you notice that dedicated lanes are fairly rare. What they do that work is to ensure that the lanes matches up. The dedicated lane work in a simualtion but not as well outside of it. make sure masstransit is connecting and have proper walk/bike options to cut down on traffic will do way more. The LESS people who feel the need to use the car the better your traffic will be.
Second tip pay attention to what you zone and where you zone it. High dencity housing have certain dermands and the better you can solve those without relaying on a outside of town centers or things of that nature the less traffic gets funneled onto limited roads. Same thing with low dencity housing, shopping, industry and services. Also take note of your roadnetwork while you are at it and the less interuptions, crossings or stop signs on big roads the better. Those are there for traffic circlulation not to feed local traffic. You should never need more than 2 lanes each way in local traffic unless it is a transition of roads and even then it should be the exeption.
There are american cities with 4 lane each direction roads that move less traffic per hour than european downtown bike lanes thanks to how messed up the network is. Lack of options instead of cars, not pedestrian friendly, building large areas of low dencity housing with lack of busses/trams bike options or even basics as a funtional bridge over roads. Despite the walk to the store would take less than 15-20 minutes now suddenly require a car! Lastly but not least american cities have a you need MINIMUM of x parking for this plot, european cities have a MAXIMUM parking per plot which leaves more space for other construction.
Repeat after me, the less car dependand the better!
Biffa: "I want to encourage walking as much as possible"
Also Biffa: switching out the traffic lights for give-way signs making all the cars drive right at the pedestrians
35:36
I mean who doesn't like a little happy accidents..
Can't help myself but for me Biffa is just THE most likeable, non-toxic, enjoyable and kind content creator I have ever watched. Love your conten, keep up the great work! Hopefully you'll recover asap from covid.
Awww thank you :-)
Delighted to see a new traffic fix! It has been quite sometime since you posted one of these. I always find them informative and entertaining. Sorry to hear that you have been ill with a cold and Covid. May you recover to full strength quickly. 💗
I've been thinking about submitting my city one of these days. 580k population, 54% traffic flow on easy mode, and a show stopping 13-14% traffic flow with despawning turned off.
I suspectI would learn something, OK, a lot, watching that one.
Found your channel 4 days ago, found Cities Skylines through you... bought it today and I am absolutely addicted. I can't wait to start creating brilliant cities. Just learning the game for the moment. Love your videos dude. You're a great help when it comes to learning how to play this frankly confusing game lol.
Enjoy and thank you :-)
13:14 Biffa no! :D
What are you doing?! They shouldn't turn left there! If they wanted to go that way, they could've just stayed on the previous road!
I noticed that as well. :)
One quick thing I recently learned about the double decker bus is that it's verrry SLOW. If you're trying to fix traffic problems, the airport double decker is a better choice because it won't hold up traffic as much. Stacks of cars constantly build up behind the "London Style" double decker.
but isn't that what it's supposed to do? the red Double-decker Bus is, after all, a Traffic-calming vehicle, you know, a moving 30 sign 😂
Love to see you and xisuma still collabing. Have you guys ever talked about a vid together?
I approve of this... or like the 5b1c, except just do it you 2 instead. 2b1c.
Hoping for more city fixes as they're really enjoyable to watch along and learn for my city.
So glad this collab happend! I was hoping X would send his city to Biffa when I first saw the live stream, given I've been mostly watching Biffa play Cities Skyline in the Hermitcraft break XD
Biffa, glad to hear that you and your family are on the mend. Praying for your swift recovery.
Hey, Great job with the city. It was fun watching you help an old HC friend.
... Um, just make sure to walk away if he starts offering you premium Derpcoin™😉
:P
City fixing never gets old! I love it
omg I've so missed the 'fix your city' series
Thank you so much Biffa, for all the nostalgia❤
although, I'm kinda getting mad at the huge cuts, for instance at 20:48, where it just feels like you've missed out on the majority of the action yknow
I feel like I'm listening to real traffic news when biffa fixes people's cities. I really enjoy when he fixes cities and just watching all the traffic
With six lanes into six lanes at a crossroads and dedicated turning lanes, you have ONE lane into three. This reduces the saturation flow out of the road. If you allow straight on and right turners to share a lane then you double the amount of straight on traffic that can leave the link for the cost of a bit of road paint.
Love watching Biffa building his city, still my all time favorite series are the traffic fix
13:20 is a big lol, exits and then re-entering the highway.
Biffa!! The automatic roundabout stuff is still there! It's just a matter of setting it up in the options menu of TM:PE. I'm so glad the traffic fixes are back!! I've thoroughly missed them ❤ Love the new content
I remember X streamng C:S a few years ago. Biffa dropped in and was giving tips to him. That's actually how I got to know this game and I have almost 500 hours game time since then
HA! One of my favorite maps again... "Honu Island". This is gonna be fun to watch!
Glad you're doing "fix your cities" again, that's originally what got me into your channel.
Get well soon, Biffa! Your traffic fixes are the most fun videos (for me)
Feel better Biffa. Glad your family has recovered
Been wondering after watching Xaswahmy's building this city...is it gonna be sent to Biffa?
Lo and behold!
Seal of approval 👍
:-)
Some sweet face has clearly watched Keralis too :)
I love these videos so theroputic seeing you clear up the traffic Biffa. I would love to send my city for you to fix but between your videos and yumbltv, I have solved my own traffic problems. Your teachings are too great Lord Biffa.
5:40 OMG Removing a rock? What happened to you?😂
:P
In TM:PE you can go to in game settings and set the policy to add dedicated turning lanes automatically, also you can also set the policy to allow buses to ignore turning arrows which allows you to keep bus lanes irrespective of the end arrows.
Love the traffic fixing is back! Glad to see you back and on the mend.
I had issues with tmpe with the roundabout setup. I had to change the settings for tmpe in the roundabout section and it seems to resolve it all.
13:27
Why would you want any to turn left? They're just going back onto the road they've come off.
The cross over I didn't expect in a million years... I love it
:-)
Get well soon, Biffa and family! Love the vid.
Biffa: a right angle is forty five degrees or something 23:17
what shall we call this after lane mathematics… roundabout maths? oh biffa, loving it!~
Get well soon! So great to see a fix video, been asking myself when you'll pick that up again :)
I love this series and it's great that you have it back! I discovered your channel because of your fixes.
Here's a few pointers on *public transit design* that can really help in a large city:
1) While Cims definitely _can_ walk quite a long distance, they don't actually _like it._ In fact, *the further they have to walk to the public transit station, the less they'll be willing to switch between lines afterwards.* This also includes any walking distance between stations, and from the last station to their final destination. This effect is more pronounced with elderly Cims, less so with the young. Cims calculate the entire journey in advance, including how far they'll have to walk in total and how many times they'll need to switch lines. The final decision also fluctuates with many other factors (cost, duration, and even a random factor); so if the decision is only "borderline" worthwhile, the same Cim might be willing to make the public transit trip one day but take their car another day. The Cims you see at the station are just the ones who've decided that the _whole trip_ is "worth it" that day, while any Cim who "disliked" the route will just take a car that day - you'll never know if they even considered walking. Furthermore, even the ones who choose public might use their "pocket car" to get from the final station to their destination, which is obviously sub-optimal.
2) Point #1 is what buses are there to solve, by going around a district and collecting passengers closer to their origin point, then dumping them off at a mass transit hub. For example, that yellow line running around the edge of the "entertainment island" is actually *the perfect way to use a local bus line,* both in-game and in real life: collecting passengers to the metro station Biffa added at the other end of the island. (In real life you'd be able to ride the bus and metro on a single ticket, making the bus effectively "free", encouraging even more people in the area to use that metro station.)
3) *Try to limit or eliminate all bus lines crossing between two different districts.* This is because connections between adjacent districts (and certainly non-adjacent ones!) are almost always your primary bottlenecks, which the buses could easily exacerbate. And the more buses you push into the line to meet demand, the worse it gets!
3a) If you absolutely want to use (large!!) buses for this, the road piece connecting between the districts _must_ have a dedicated bus lane *in addition* to however many lanes you need for all other traffic to flow smoothly. With particularly busy districts (assuming you have the space), extend the bus lanes a short distance into the district itself to give the buses some room to disperse among the inner streets before they have to merge with the other vehicles. That also gives you room to comfortably place the first stations inside the district. Unless you're using very small districts in your city, it is rarely a good idea to connect more than two districts with a single bus line, since the buses will quickly start to bunch up.
3b) Trams are often best for connecting neighbouring districts. However it's almost always wise to separate the trams _completely_ from the main traffic before they cross from one district to the next, because trams can put a LOT of pressure on your bottlenecks. Divert the trams away from traffic before they reach the edge of the district, and then build a dedicated two-way tram-only crossover street just for them (TMPE allows you to still let emergency/trash/etc drive on that road, which is a nice bonus). Then reconnect the dedicated tram track back into the road network on the other side. The tram crossover road should both start and end some distance away from any heavy traffic, which gives the trams ample space to split away and merge back at their own pace as they leave and enter each district. If you do this right, you can run the trams through three or even four adjacent districts with minimal impact on traffic.
3c) If neither of the above is an option, connect the districts with a metro.
4) For the most part, *each district needs only one metro station per metro line.* Use buses or trams to move passengers around the district, to and from the metro station (see point #2). If the metro station gets overwhelmed with passengers, _resist the urge_ to fill the line with metro trains; Instead, build a completely new metro line intersecting with the original line, _going in a different direction to a different destination._ Have the two lines stop at _separate stations_ near that intersection point (never at the same station, if you can help it). If you have three or four metro lines going through a district and the stations are _still_ overwhelmed, consider replacing the busiest line with a *passenger train.*
5) In C:S *it's usually best to have your metros bring passengers from the edges of the city to the center and vice versa,* rather than crossing the entire map (in real life it's... different). At the city center, keep any metro intersections as far apart from each other as you can - never more than two lines meeting at the same place. Once you've done that, make a circle line (with CW and CCW trains) running around the center, _stopping at each metro intersection you have._ If you do it right, the circle line doesn't need its own dedicated stations; It can stop at existing stations. The resulting network should look a bit like a spiderweb. This design is based on of one of the most efficient metro systems in the world - the Moscow Metro.
6) As your city grows beyond 80k or so, *begin identifying multiple "city centers".* Metro lines should only run from each district to the _closest_ city center, not to every city center on the map. Do not connect city centers to each other with metros - connect them with one or more passenger trains. Once the train stations at the center start getting overloaded, your next step should be to build a single train line running a loop between them. Finally, build a train running around the outer edge of the whole city to connect the outer district together in a loop.
Hope this helps y'all. I've managed to run cities of 150k+ pretty well with these points in mind. Drop a like and/or comment if this worked for you!
Woo Hoo like number 747! I love the City fix episodes. Thanks Biffa.
I was just prepping to write a comment saying how you sounded sick and I hope you're better now... But then I got to the part where you said you had covid! Hope you're feeling well and on the road to recovery
Eyyo Mr. Biffa here's an idea for a new challenge ... Keeping the traffic flowing w out any public transport . ( if you already did that my apologies for any repeats )
That log in the middle of the road is an art installation.
I saw Xisuma’s last stream on this. He recommended your content cause we started chatting bout ya, when it came to traffic things, and I mentioned in the chat that I had yet to watch your content. Took me a bit but here I am now.
Hey, Biffa! Don't push yourself too hard. Get well soon! 💗
Nice to see another traffic fix! 😃Hopefully you are soon recovering from covid. 😊
Yayy, Traffic Flow Biffa is back! I was just talking about you last week when I was looking at getting a new computer.
get well soon Biffa and family!~
21:15 Jolly good show! I can see you have improoved over the years since i have been watching your skylines video's. Sometimes the standard roundabout settings isnt ideal depending on which direction traffic flows. You could have done the opposite direction as well with 2 lane offramps from the roundabout. i probably would have solved the problem alot faster, Also when the stadium finishes its plays you want cars to be able to escape the area faster. But thanks again for sharing the video, And as always I enjoyed it (although you got me yelling at my screen still) Tumbs up! +
thanks for going back to the old city fix style, its been awhile, and i kinda missed having them
I have learned so much from you in dealing with traffic. Thank you brother
The "croosver" that no body expceted, love it
Very much missed your city fixes. Happy to see them back on your Channel. Blessings to you and your family and I hope you also have a wonderful day
That city looks like Honolulu, Hawaii! Hahaha! I've been there, irl, in childhood so looking at this is nostalgic.
Petition: Biffa uploads more traffic fix video's
I'm totally geeking out because there are roundabouts on controlled access highways!
Love traffic fix videos! Glad to hear you are feeling better!
Great job. Glad to see that X came to get professional help.
you can connect metro stations that are accross the street from each other with a tunnel walking path so they don't get into traffic
Love the city fixes, gives me so many ideas for my own cities when the get clogged up!
This was really cool to see!
Thanks Biffa. Been waiting on a fix your city for awhile.
Great video Biffa. Hope you're doing better with your COVID; I'm also getting over it but thankfully it's only been mild for me. All the best!
Thanks getting there :-)
The roundabout set up tool in Traffic Manager hasn't worked for me since the airport DLC. I have to manually set them up now. 22:31 I put a bridge in at the narrowest part of the straight to connect the 2 incoming freeways. It drastically reduced the cars trying to cross the map through the city, was a massive help.
I LOVE THE INTERNET THIS IS THE COLLAB WE NEVER KNEW TO BE POSSIBLE BUT ALWAYS NEEDED
I would have added a bypass for the main freeway on Hillside Island. Anyone going straight through blocks traffic coming onto the roundabout. Having a tunnel for freeway traffic going straight on would mean the roundabout is reserved for those to and from the sides only.
Oh cool. I kept thinking of all the tips Ive learned watching your series while watching his streams.
Great to see another City Fix, mate. Really enjoyed that one.
All I searched on CZcams was how to clean poopy water from cities skylines and it’s now suggested your channel. Loving this content. Just subbed 😊
Enjoy :-)
the cims in this game will walk an insane distance if you give them the chance.
when i first started playing i did the same with busses. put a bus station in every other street. because that's how it works irl.
but all you need is 1 station per district.
that island at 33:55
doesn't need a bus at all.
only 1 bus stop leading out to a diffrent island. that's all it needs.
foot paths. give them elevated or underground pedestrian crossings over the big roads.
Great video as usual. Hope you feel better soon Biffa. 👍
Love a good traffic fix video!
Love these traffic fixes, though I appreciate it involves a looooooot more work on your part! :)
Quite amazing that you got this (sorry) big city mess sorted.
Are you doing it on purpose? "gues who's back...", "round the outside, round the outside"
Mass transit comes to the rescue! Nice episode☺️
Oh how i have been looking forward to seeing you do a new traffic fix video. I must admit, I am addicted to them.
Impressive fixing Biffa :)
Really enjoy learning from the "Master of Trafficlights ... *hust* .... Master of Roundabouts & Lane Mathematics"
This is a awesome collaboration! Rwo awesome youtubers. Next he teaches you redstone in MC
Biffa out here "log shaming" other creators! LOL XD
Prop & Tree Anarchy: On
Biffa: "Why are there logs in the road? Those things happen."
Yes they do, usually to you Biffa. And that's why we keep watching 😁
Love your vids biffa
yes love a good traffic fix thank you for our tuesday fun
Any time!
Nice, I love Your vids, and a collab with Xisuma, NICE
Glad you like them!
5:51 too many junctions next to one another on the same main road. fun.
I miss the British let’s play city!
Thursday ;-)
I knew this map looked familiar! It is the one for the traffic fix challenge from your Redbull days. ;)
Great fix Biffa, and I wish you a speedy recovery from covid
Thank you kindly :-)
omg a biffa traffic fix, its been so long! Got my cuppa ready.
Good job!
Get well soon Biffa!!
Great video hope you have s full recovery
Hope you and your family feeling better soon!
Hey dude love your vids helped me out a lot !
Anyway I was wondering why you choose the 4 ways lane instead of the 6ways lane as your collectors ? I mean the 6ways go faster and have more lanes so .... ?
Thanks in advance!
Covid!? Bugger! Hope you're feeling better. I have really missed your traffic fixes - after all, that's why I play Cities: Skylines. Now, what about Blightea-on-the-Wold...? :D
I've noticed after the new DLC that big areas of condensed commercial has been getting grind it down by traffic deliveries. It seems like something has changed in the code. I've been seeing in on a lot of different videos where this is happening after the DLC
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
New city fix? Happy Tuesday!
Can we fix it? Yes we can! (Start humming Bob The Builder tune). Damn you Biffa!
Now that's a blast from the hermitcraft past. Minecraft Traffic update when?
Surprised this wasn't a fix on a stream with Xisuma in a call ^^
I love watching you fix traffic! When I'm driving for real, I think of these videos, and wish I could click it, and fix it.
Does anyone have advice for MOD PROBLEMS?
--I built a wonderful city to 125,000 citizens, 93% traffic... and all of a sudden, no garbage was being picked-up, dead people were left everywhere, no one had any goods to sell, all my extractor buildings had not enough buyers... essentially no one could use the roads or do any pathfinding... I googled this issue, and read that an unknown Mod might be to blame. People had had similar experiences, and found they fixed when they turned off all their mods--but they lost all the mod roads... I was not rebuilding all the roads in the city, so I started over... again.
--I play on a MacBook, could this be part of the issue?
--I really want to use the traffic manager (TM:PE) mod, but I'm afraid that I'll build a nice, big, functioning city, only to face catastrophe after 125,000 residents. Some players implicated traffic and road mods specifically, as the culprit. Right now, I"m playing without mods, and it's fine... I want my mod roads, and traffic management... and if I have to give up the extra landscaping tools, it's gonna be depressing.
--Has anyone found the actual culprit of the mod malfunction?
--Does anyone have any advice?
