Building A Sunken Highway with On- and Off-Ramps in Cities Skylines 2

[@ytdanytevero]

99% of urban planners QUIT adding one more lane before fixing traffic!!!!!🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@meijsmark]

😂 calm down man. Its just an opinion

[@imperatur]

Exactly!😂

[@sciclonic]

Depends on circumstances. If it goes through a low income neighbourhood, or a neighbourhood school or park, or a green space, add another lane, if it’s in a rich neighbourhood or a beautiful concrete metropolis, stop adding lanes!!!

THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING

[@aphredofobic]

I live a couple blocks from a highway but it’s the only walkable neighborhood in my city so it’s worth the sacrifice. There is a constant noise but more like white noise and you can only really hear it when you’re outside. It’s not that noticeable once you get use to it 😅 but the dust is annoying, the outside of my house is always covered in a thin layer of dirt

[@AkSeL_Water]

i dont understand how such wonderful ideas can come to mind. it turns out to be a mega aesthetic town

[@harpermonohan]

3:32 😳😳 CROSS BRONX EXPRESSWAY⁉️‼️ Bro’s setting himself up for an eternity of traffic

Oh yes😍

[@ancova1183]

It's not a city without a traffic jam.

[@jasper329]

Can you give us a full map overview? With all these episodes, I cant keep up with the position of each tile. I basically have no idea of how the city looks like. Great episode though! Keep it up

[@imperatur]

I think you see it while we‘re flying in and out😄

[@jasper329]

@ Could you potentially create a short giving a minute flyover of the city?

[@i_need_a_dakimakura]

​@@imperatur I'd like to see the map of metro in the city, when it sill be +- ready

[@LucidGhostYT]

The techno club reminds me of a club (well, more of a music venue) in Dallas that used to be called The Church. It was in a run-down industrial park south of downtown, and man some of the BEST raves and shows I've ever been to were there. My favorite show was Infected Mushroom way back in 2010. Bringing back good memories man.

[@grmnlxndr]

Nice build, love the series! Hey, can't you put some kind of park hidden inside of the nightclub and play around with the invisible paths so people can actually enter the building? If that works, it will be great :D

[@NikolasBeige]

One section of this highway looks exactly like a highway in my neighbourhood in Tallinn, Estonia. This highway is called Laagna tee located in Lasnamäe where they shot the Hollywood's blockbuster Tenet 😁

[@ancova1183]

Love the technopunk and grunge build. That music genre has such a history in Germany. It makes the city feel alive. Makes me wonder if the city ever went through an era of economic downturn. Maybe, like Detroit, if it's an American city. Or perhaps, it's owned by a chill German dude who doesn't care about the music's reputation. Maybe they're in a punk war with another punk bar; and both are trying to define the punk genre. BTW, that really happened in LA's Chinatown in the 1970s... Madame Wong vs the Hong Kong Low.

[@saki4031]

Hi Imperatur and happy new year. The club is a great ad to the map but it feel a bit empty. Sully made custom plopable NPC for his LA series. Maybe you could grab it and put them in the courtyard and at the entrance. It would be so nice. Continue your work with passion as you do :)

[@imperatur]

Yeah but at daytime it doesn’t really make sense most of the time to have people there😌

[@saki4031]

@@imperatur some techno clubs are open the whole weekend and it's not strange for some people to go during the day🙃.

[@johnzara3131]

Loving the video! That techno club is awesome. If you ever in Brazil, would love to take you to some see our techno culture.

[@imperatur]

Omg i have to visit brazil!!

[@samuel_18.07]

Was ich sehr cool finden würde, wenn du auch mal größere Parks, vorallem in der Nähe der City Hall, bauen könntest. Ich stell mir die vielen Grünflächen in Washington DC sehr passend für so eine Stadt vor. Eine großen, sehr detailreichen Park wäre akutell vielleicht schwierig zu bauen, sähe aber sehr gut aus!

[@elliem.8537]

I live about 1000ft from a major highway. All of the freeways in my state have huge walls that really muffle the noise. The space next to the highway is all green with plants and trees to help reduce pollution. I can hear a faint constant rush outside, but it's not a bad noise. It sounds like the waves, from where I grew up. Being inside my house, with all the doors and windows closed, you can't hear anything at all.

[@theburntcookieshub5803]

I'm a country boy who lives 200ft from our main rail line; Mrs, nor I, really notice tge noise or simply enjoy the trains going by.

[@mausebiker123]

I love those little high detailed bits with a story!

[@ItsnotaRuse]

It's always fascinating and insightful watching your videos and builds. Thanks so much for doing and posting these! You're definitely an inspiration.

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

One example of a sunken freeway in the US is US 75/Central Expwy in Dallas.

[@KelTV1323]

I know exactly where your talking about.. Shoutout from Texas

[@bazzakrak]

Ahhh, thank you kind sir, for giving me ( and most likely others ) a great video to sit down and watch while munching on my dinner.

[@rwddesign879]

Great stuff, as always! Love watching the builds, especially anything multi-tiered. Might already exist, but is there any chance at some image galleries of the builds? Some really nice stuff here, would love to add to an inspiration folder to go through more easily :)

[@tompagels2957]

Real MVP for Building a Techno Club!! 😂 amazing i love it. Wish i could create the Club of my dreams

[@tommeakin1732]

If you're a techno lover, why not drop some into your "I'm-building-not-talking" playlists?

[@Saurion1]

Sunken highways are not that bad in regards to noise. Especially if they have trees and/or noise barriers around it. At grade and elevated highways are a lot noisier.

[@stephenv9346]

I just bought the game and have experienced some really frustrating crashes where I lost all of my progress after hours of work. Aside from that, which usually makes me need to step away for the day, its been fun. Happy New Year

[@noahscats4907]

Id love to see you try out a diverging diamond intersection (DDI) soon since they are becoming popular in America around interstates.

[@jessemagal]

Great work as always Imperatur. Can we get a video on your visual mods and settings

[@imperatur]

Yes i can do one :) but i wont promise a soon release date😅

[@trumpwasbetter]

Im near an interstate 1 mile. No road noise for me. However it's in the county not the city. City looks great love the inspiration.

[@danmontour8584]

this sunken highway ressemble a lot the decarie ighway in montreal, maybe it was your inspiration...good video

[@theevilmoppet]

My city, Chicago, has mainly trenched highways. I like them better than elevated highways for sure, and in Chicago specifically they often have metro in the middle, which is kinda interesting. Chicago has less highways than most US cities, all that got built in the city itself for the most part is a spoke coming south, a spoke coming southwest, a spoke coming west, and a spoke coming northwest, all leading into a stretch of highway that skirts the west of downtown. It's more than I'd like, but they're better than they could have ended up. There's also a highway up and down the lakefront, which is egregious and the bane of my life. I live right next to it, and even though I'm directly on an underpass, I still rarely use the lakefront amenities primarily because walking under a highway is so unpleasant even for a beach 5 minutes away. The south, west, and northwest-radiating highways have metro down the middle, and while it's better than not having those sections of metro at all they are easily the nastiest and least pleasant stations in the system.

[@divo3587]

8:33 Yes that kind of thing exists for example in Poland we have SKM - Szybka Kolej Miejska (Fast Urban Railway) SKA - Szybka Kolej Aglomeracyjna (Basically the same)

[@josebaez7116]

I am a mile from the highway. I grew up with it so the sounds actually help me sleep. It’s awkward when it’s quiet.

[@ForeverNERVOUSZan]

agree about techno club/raves! no better place to be

[@imperatur]

Agreee!:)

[@tigonologdring9189]

More great stuff Imperatur! Just wish those end-of-platform janks were smoother by default for those metro stations (at least if you use node manipulation mode in MoveIt you can smooth them out a bit).

[@OGLozer]

i live next to the 405 in LA. It sounds like a breeze or a constant crashing of ocean waves with periodic loud screams of motorcycles and muzzle enhanced cars. Less than a km away

[@Ni3k_070]

3:55 I live about 100 meters away from one of the busiest highways in the Netherlands. Tbh it isn't that bad, we have sound barriers around the highway and after 15 years of living here I barely here anything. You get used to it I guess! And to solve the pollution; we have an air freshener constantly running in the house. So that problem got fixed in about 100 bucks :-)

[@Sean_Strojan]

Good shit as always! Do you have any plans for an airport in the near future!?

[@ffergg9932]

I live right next to the cross bronx and its hell. every damn time of the night even at 2am theres a chance there will be heavy traffic. god forbid the lower level on the bridge to new jersey is closed. theyre thinking of adding 1 more lane, other plans are calling to cover the entire thing with a park. the absolute poor planning it took to create the expressway and the mowing down of poor neighborhoods culminated in a situation where theres literally no other main way through or around the city if youre travelling on i-95

[@gp5313]

Beautiful

[@marctardif9756]

Just like the Decarie Highway (Quebec Autoroute 15) in Montreal :)

[@desto13c]

Living in a flat beside a small city road and it is already dust hell here. I can't imagine living beside a highway.

12:30 that cul-de-sac shouldn't have direct access to that main road, that'll funnel traffic thru the residential area
