Big City Traffic requires Big City Infrastructure in Cities Skylines 2

[@SourDisc]

Perfect demonstration of "just 1 more lane bro" all we need now is some billion dollar flyovers 💀

[@rubenkort]

What are you doing in a cities skylines 2 comment section?? No hate, just curious

Good news, a widening project is already in the works.

That interchange might need to appear before an international court for crimes against humanity! XD great video

[@williamesselvall9758]

This guy said it best

[@abatall]

that 2nd interchange hurt me deep

[@tdr8958]

Yeah, I’m dead looks like a n00b

Yeah. I thought the same 🤣

Hard to watch… want to fix it! But awesome vid!

Whole island wide roundabout would’ve fixed everything 😂

You might consider upgrading your road maintenance, because when roads aren't maintained, you experience more traffic accidents. Your city has a high number of accidents. Perhaps a series on upgrading all city services would be interesting to watch. Thank you for your content, I love it!You might consider upgrading your road maintenance, because when roads aren't maintained, you experience more traffic accidents.

[@Infrastructurist]

More lanes bruh 😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@hsngm33]

bro just one more lane please bro, its gonna fix traffic forever please

[@Cripesok]

What about an underground road?

[@R1ot_Leo]

building the wonky left turn a little further up closer to the bridge would really help traffic since the queueing distance would be longer, piccana made a video of a similiar intersection to this one and how they work!

[@antorseax9492]

​@@Cripesok Can't have turns in an underground road

[@RbxRave]

Make a new skyline near the graveyard

[@PurelyAJD]

I love the look of the older bridge next to the new bridge. I've noticed in my area that sometimes the older infrastructure will be left long after the new stuff is built, sometimes even with the old infrastructure being abandoned/unused.

[@Hackerman747]

Yes please, leave it

[@HaydenCMH]

Super tall bridge pillars right off the end of a runway... what could go wrong? lol

[@marcusbishop8936]

Yeah I was gonna say… 😂

[@sal-the-man]

Bridge collapse and this time from a plane rather than a ship

[@jakubjakubov6929]

Hey Infrastructurist! Awesome build as always, I just mentioned a few unnecessary left turns. First in the intersection at 53:48, the traffic coming from the airport doesn't need a left turn since they can turn left in the intersection before, second, when you upgraded the road coming from a new bridge, the left turn reset. Thanks for keeping the series alive, my favorite so far!

[@kylezdancewicz7346]

But the dedicated lane is crucial for making more road as more road=less traffic

[@nauji]

"we're gonna add a lane here because... because why not" that's the most realistic American city planning

[@jumpywizard7665]

This city is so realistic that the traffic is gridlocked 24/7 after the DOT invested billions to ‘improve’ the roads

[@37llawffej]

Interesting fact: "Take your child to work day" was banned in Riverview after this project was completed. Apparently, after designing the I-25 interchange, the city planner allowed his 7 year old son design the intersection near the city.

[@RWDtech]

I vote for keeping the old bridge! Reminds me of the bridges crossing the Ohio River from Indiana to Louisville 38.26401, -85.75125

[@alidigitaly]

Virtual pilot here,..that bridge is in my glide path.

[@williamesselvall9758]

That second interchange have to go. It is like looking at the sun for too long, it really hurts.

[@mypdf]

57:39 I would think it could possible be used as a BRT line to connect the growing suburban sprawl to the downtown

[@daeins]

Riverview my beloved 🥰

[@NithinJune]

ok so the state will build multiple billion dollar overpasses but decided to cheap out with a weird at grade intersection

[@Morkeoth]

So chaotic ! :D Nice infrastructures ! (absolutely HELLISH !) I can't ignore the fact that the airport have some connections problems. ^^' Also another just between in the highway you remade. (Chestnut, after Thornton and Green on the way to the new hellish interchange) And the pedestrian path of the park going far to close to the highway too !

[@castor-zv9kv]

"Malfunction Junction" is the local name for the I-4//I-275 interchange where I live. Definitely an evolved mess of planning!

[@SpikeLawrence]

I think you should keep the old bridge next to the new one. It wouldnt make sense for the city to spend even more money demolishing it for no reason. This is the case generally for old infrastructure, it just gets left abandoned until it gets in the way of new development - just like the old railway sidings near the recently redeveloped 'Yard'. Great video as per usual!!

[@FunkieIntl]

"Improved Traffic Simulation, my Ass" got me with that one

[@Thunk00]

You could consider doing an episode expanding the number of lanes on all of the highways in the city. A medium-big city in America often has eight through lanes (four each way, not counting the acceleration/deceleration lanes) on its main highways.

[@UlaşAvcı-q5b]

Continue your great job! I ❤ your videos, Riverwiev is the best I've ever seen. I think you should keep doing some more episodes of Riverwiev.😊

[@danielv3510]

These videos are so satisfying, beautiful city! You should consider the Move It mod, would really help with infrastructure (moving pillars, lowering road segments, adjusting buildings) :)

[@Kevin_Zepol]

I can watch asphalt getting placed all day in these games. Sweet vid!

[@litemanjr]

new to the series and immediately felt it looked familiar. good job on the recreation of Colorado springs.

[@finnishballmapping]

I love old historical roads that were replaced by modern highways. I always look at them in gmaps

[@Lwito]

So creative ! I love those interchanges !!

[@derrekwall226]

That second interchange feels like a war crime.🤣

[@hydronpowers9014]

Officials building an efficient, safe, reliable public transportation: The City is broke 😢 Officials building a new highway through your neighborhood: Hahaha, lanes to brrrrrrr 🤗

[@Kyplar]

Petition to turn the old bridge into a bike/pedestrian path

[@discoelephant6447]

I hope the city and the state realize their mistake with that second interchange and fix it. Whatever traffic planner designed that is too unhinged to be allowed to work again.

[@danonck]

Watching Infrastructurist create infrastructure projects is always such a joy. Even if he goes down the rabbit hole to create an absolute monstrosity of an intersection 😅

[@brendanlow586]

Here’s a few suggestions for the new highway’s name: You could try Interstate (Any odd Number)25 Riverview Parkway South or City Centre Parkway You could also make an extension to the airport in the future.

[@shimky301]

I love watching your videos and then trying out the stuff I've learnt. Brilliant!

[@shimky301]

Keep the bridge!

[@katiefrisk980]

46:21 you can't go southbound from sunnyside to heather

[@sully553]

Also can't go straight onto Heather from that main road on the left side of the screen.

[@Heittohuuli]

17:30 *Has moveIt to lower the whole highway down* "Naaaah, ill just rebuild it all over..."

[@keanusolan2844]

Mr. Mayor, it is usually such a pleasure but that second interchange is maddening to look at. May I suggest building a _single point urban interchange_ instead.

[@Skibidy_rizzler_]

He made it to be ugly

[@maj0rdave]

Infrastructurist is now an Italian urban planner... out here making spaghetti. Haha.

[@steefanvj]

I reckon this is your best video you’ve ever made…. Needs more lanes.. 😂. Seriously though, love it.

[@mcj1m_noonewillfindthis]

About keeping the bridge: I thought you would use it as one direction of the highway... It would make a lot of sense financially, as the city would only have to build a smaller bridge instead of the big new one

[@marcusbishop8936]

That bridge looks too tall considering it’s right at the end of the runway. Wouldn’t a tunnel be more suitable?

[@Merecir]

A tunnel under a river that is basically in a canyon? Hey, it is only taxpayer money, so go for it!

[@marcusbishop8936]

@@Merecir is the river that deep at that point?

[@joshktn]

maybe in the future you should try building an NFL-sized stadium/arena and surrounding park or even an Olympic Park too :)

[@arthurgichuhi]

Have you seen the roundabouts, they're a more efficient and visually appealing option than adding more lanes

[@Sam-es2gf]

That.. uhh.. bit of a mess at 40:00 could be helped a lot with a British style combination roundabout for the links/elevated highway for the majority traffic going into the city. I don't know how common they are in America, but that's what my brain goes to here!

[@Sam-es2gf]

10 minutes later, it's like watching a car crash in slow motion. my eyes!

[@RobertWidell]

I would keep the original infrastructure, both for the history, but also providing more options to get around. And it looks pretty cool too 👍

[@uodo5803]

Riverview needs a golf course

[@kubiekemeester]

It's so funny, I've just watched a video about an interchange detanglement project in Antwerp (Belgium). And now I see you creating insanly intertwined, big plate of spaghetti like, interchanges.. 😅

[@AdmiralSnoopy]

love the spaghetti road structure, hope you can detail it a bit more!

[@ana-mariabucur9608]

Can't wait for the moment you add a metro system, and also universities

[@GnarlsDarwin]

I wish Denver had that sort of urban planning. Lord Help Colorado Springs...

[@rthomp03]

There used to be an interchange in Denver nicknamed "the mousetrap" that eventually had to be completely changed due to the high rate of accidents. Perhaps you could name that new interchange something similar, and maybe in the future you could streamline it as the city grows even larger.

[@delroyclarke1989]

Love the episode, keep it up ❤

[@nicolaswhite543]

I drive thru the original spaghetti junction every day... you got some real real mad pasta going on here lol

[@georgepig7362]

Riverview finally has its very own spaghetti junction ❤❤❤

[@RWDtech]

That bridge seems insanely tall. Can any structural/civil engineers chime in here and tell us if that is realistic? Thanks!

[@blaise31]

It’s probably possible, check out the Pont de Normandie 😂

[@sol_in.victus]

I think physically it would be possibly but economically i dont think it'd be. Seems like it would be extremely expensive for what ultimately would be a medium size city

[@ollihakala710]

Infrastructurist! If you come from the new highway towards the city, or from the road from Downtown, a bit like alongside the railway, and try to go towards the airport at the weird-kind-of-a-wanna-be-roundabout, that won't be possible, because there is no roads or lanes! I'd really appreciate, if you fixed that! But anyway, again great video!! (maybe you'll continue the European city -series in the next video...?)

[@chaosmonkey187]

Love the build. You might find the road tools are more agreeable if you try using only the snapping you need at a given time. I like to use existing geometry for the first part of the road, right angle and road guidelines while finding my curves, and turn everything off when I’m clicking to complete the road.

[@jacksoncung]

Love the comment 48:10 😆 "Improved Traffic Simulation"

[@kasonpatterson7171]

I think the old bridge would be an amazing pedestrian only bridge if you convert it into a pedestrian and cyclist only bridge, similar to the purple people bridge in cincinnati ohio, that would be so cool, and it will give a chance for more park development

Hey man. Sorry i haven't been watching your videos so much lately. It's not that i don't like them. I just don't have enough time to do so. I still think that you're one of the best players of this game and that all your creations are the best in the best XD

[@benzski44]

The horrors of industrialized highway infrastructure

[@dj4aces]

Keeping the original infrastructure isn't a bad idea, as it appears to be used now for local traffic.

[@mewosh_]

Why is there a need for both "Elm Highway" and "Emerson street" bridges? I think removing one of them would allow for a better traffic flow with just a slight detour added

[@konkretnykonkret647]

Infrastructure is not only roads. I think that such a big city should have reliable and green energy. It would be nice to see a nuclear power plant cooled by one of the mountain lakes.

[@theo-avl]

at 52:15 the left turn is still needed for cars that wish to access heather highway

[@sal-the-man]

Sometimes you gotta do things for “efficiency”. So some intersections have issues like these, that’s why it’s sorta realistically a horrible intersection.

[@joshgellock]

I've liked this series, for the most part. It's been a great demonstration of what CS2 is capable of and you do a good job of showing off the incredible road and rail tools in the game. Having said that, this episode was challenging to watch. Sometimes you have to just admit things don't work and move on from the idea. It's clear that the idea you had wasn't/ isn't working. Scrap it and start over. There are way too many junction points in that setup and it would be so accidental prone, it's not even funny.

[@NithinJune]

bro you GOTTAA TEAR THAT OUT 😭😭

[@ironkza]

I'd make emerson street and elm highway ONE-WAY, Elm going to the Highway, and Emerson receiving cars from the highway... it would help that node, and you wouldn't need the lights or the crossings

You should put a slip lane in only for highway

[@RandyJGJ]

Aww Naww. Emerson and Elm should NOT be meeting there. WHAT IS HAPPENING? The intersection only tourists and visitors go through. “It’s fun to clean up the mess” but you’re not cleaning it up 😂

[@antonwulp]

So on the roundabout they give way to the ones who come of a highway. That doesn't make sense at all.
