Fixing Worlds Most Dangerous Airport in Cities Skylines!!

[@bunnywarren]

34:43 - the vehicles can't change lane where they merge into the 3+3 because it's turned off so everyone is staying in the lanes they were in from the highway and turning at the junction based on that. The obsession with dedicated turning lanes has forced people to leave the highway from the sliproad at 28:45 and 43:29 as well.

[@ShawFujikawa]

Yeah, Biffa heavily overrates dedicated turning lanes and lane mathematics. It's a very symptomatic way of trying to fix holistic problems.

[@MaartenvanHeek]

Also around 27:00, by blocking all the lane switching along an avenue: how does that work for delivery or passengers that want to go to one building, then cross over to another lane to go somewhere else?

Can't believe that was 51 mins, it flew past! Really enjoying these old city fixes, Biffa. Amazing how many comments it's generating, loving the advice from fellow Skylines players.

[@mgunter]

Seems like early Biffa thought big roads ment less traffic. too bad the game only uses two lanes. A.I. going from the left lane across 4 lanes to get in the right lane to turn.

[@Rincenso]

We all thought that when it first came out.

[@Alex-js5lg]

Hey, you can use the Traffic Manager settings to improve the AI. That'll make your traffic all stack up in one lane when the next lane is empty and goes to the same place.

[@p75369]

For roundabout lanes, you're a bit backwards: ideally, you want as many lanes as there are exits (not counting the road you enter by) and your entry road would ideally have the same number of lanes as their are exits. The idea being that you choose your lane before you enter the roundabout and you stay in it until you leave (using the spiral lane layout, not concentric circles).

[@BeckettSmeckett]

Spiral roundabouts are so annoying I hate driving on them. There's a spiral roundabout near where I live that isn't marked properly and is awful.

[@p75369]

@@BeckettSmeckett When done correctly, a spiral roundabout shouldn't hinder you as all they actually do is highlight where you should be driving anyway.

[@Thederpman4]

I've always been wondering about that because with the way Biffa builds roundabouts, the innermost lane is usually useless because you can't switch lanes in the roundabout. With the "dedicated turning lanes" and the inability to change lanes, the only useful lane is the rightmost one.

[@nickbellomo3362]

There is such a satisfying feeling to watching these cities go from a mess to perfection.

[@Timmzy27]

51 minutes!? This is going to be a multiple cups of tea episode

[@DrakeIgneelson]

I hate to backseat game with you, Biffa, but a couple tips: 1) Try playing with the road's speeds. Around 40 min mark, you're busy with an city block, and a highway is only in and out that section. Maybe if that piece had a lower maximum speed (80 or 70 iso 100 or a 2-lane highway), it could better the flow the traffic from the highway to the intersection/roundabout. 2) Some metro lines in this map is fantastic: they go from one hotspot to the other, similar to what IRL metros do. Busses can be an extension to those lines. 3, most importantly) Since this is an old map, I'm glad you've gotten better in your craft. Love seeing your work. ✨ Ok, enough backseat gaming. Do what you please with those tips! 😁

[@Hettilo]

A thing that i notice, there are no ways to go from one part of thr city to anothe wothout going on to the highway, this puts the enormous strain on those few exits

[@JMWZ_E]

33:57 Bus stops on little roads ... looks like you improvised a bus terminal in the pre-DLC almost-vanilla era. Actually a smart idea: the interdistrict bus line brings drops off people ar the dead end road bus terminal (where they can interchange to local busses) and goes directly back to the highway. What this city needs are inter-district main roads - traffic between neighbouring districts would then not go through your highway connections.

[@spaceboyxyz]

An ONE HOUR EPISODE?! Love love love

[@Dani-it5sy]

These roads looping through the mountain are fully realistic where I am on the west coast of Norway. Sometimes we have 3 loops on top of each other. Like a screw. In and out the mountain. Don't know if anyone knows of such roads in other countries.. Gets the GPS navigation completely confused that's for sure..

This actually sounds really cool! I don't suppose you have a Google maps link so we could explore it?

@@alexdavies7367 Not sure how this works I think if you paste these coordinates in Google Map it will send you there. I give you 2 places but I think there should be more.. The roads here on the west coast are insane. Really a must see once in your life. Some of these tunnels high up the mountain have doors in them that open when a car comes and close again behind you. I think its to stop huge fall winds. You know.. Cold air up will fall down from the top to the bottom of the tunnel. 60.86072333717492, 7.3034451535657405 60.4211887237805, 7.232486928725609

[@wschmrdr]

17:00 I would have thought that was a ramp where there's only right turns, as a sort of "slip lane" and then ban left turns at the spot where you can get in on the other side? I remember having some issues with that when playing a scenario (was doing it vanilla + DLC), had to convert to highway to get everything to behave.

[@sokrusound]

I think it happens because the cars coming to the roundabout are aiming for a different lane than the cars that are already in the roundabout. Sometimes doing some hugo-there forcing helps with the game logic, if I remember correctly.

[@PerfectAlibi1]

[@bethyngalw]

I love this map, it's beautiful, and it's clear you felt a good flush of nostalgia looking at this city again. It was really enjoyable to watch. Just a heads-up, at 28:50 by setting a dedicated turning lane without providing a node to switch, you're forcing everybody that comes on at the previous junction to go off the highway. Same at 43:26 and 46:27. You were so careful all the way through to check that, isn't it frustrating after all that when you miss some, huh?!

[@ashleyn.9166]

Woo! PNW representing! Hello from PDX.

[@fahmirblx]

A bit of suggestion with your airport: 1. Use the mod "Airport Roads" and extend the runway to twice the length of its current length. Extend it towards inland, not towards offshore. 2. Extend the taxiway to get to the extended end. 3. Change the planes's approach path into the airport (IIRC there's a mod for it). Make it approach headibg towards the sea (IRL wind blows inland & pilots take advantage of "Headwind" (wind blowing towards the aircraft fron the front to the back; wind blowing into the sides is called "Crosswind") to slow down to land. 4. Optional but if you want somw realism, use the "Better Planes Pack" to get real-life airliners. There's tons of 'sub-packs' available, one which has all old airliners, another one with medium-haul jets & one has all-jumbos & superjumbos.

[@eduardomossinato1089]

you should improve your subway, buses and trams system, and then more people may use public transportation instead of private cars

If you want a hilly map next, my partner creates maps using graphic design programs to create a heatmap, which I then edit in the map editor to make them playable. I have yet to upload any as I mostly just use them myself but we have made several hilly styles, one of which I am playing now and really loving, it just needs a small tweak which is being fixed. I will probably upload it to the workshop within a month. I'm terrible with names though so I will think about a good one shortly.

When Biffa forces the lane joining the freeway back off the freeway at the next node I lol. Did two of them in this one lad. But, wow big project. I really enjoyed having a look at your early city and big fix was impressive!

[@Grumpy_old_Boot]

@24:51 minutes in, Biffa says that you should have one more lane on the roundabout, than the lanes coming in. I disagree, I think you should have one lane per exit ! *_And that is because the game will try to put a car one lane out, for each exit it has to pass._* - Cars that need the first exit, will be in the outmost lane. - Cars that need the second exit, will be in the second outmost lane until the first exit, and then switch to the outermost lane when it passes that, and exit out on the second exit. - Cars that need the third exit, will be in the third outermost lane until the first exit, and then switch to the second outermost lane when it passes that until the second exit, and then switch to the outermost lane when it passes that, and finally exit out on the third exit. Thus, in a roundabout, with 4 connected roads, one will be an entrance and 3 will be exits, and you will need 3 lanes for optimal transfer. Also, the connected roads, should have "pick a lane" option on the connecting roads, so they can pick the optimal lane.

Gotta admit tho... When re-opening very old cities we did half a decade ago... These cities had lots of personality, we may not know what we were doing as much as we do today, but that translated into us doing 'whatever works' with the limited vanilla items and very very few mods. I feel my new cities may be more sanitized traffic-wise and definitely better planned overall... But they feel like they have less personality... Well until I hit over 75-100k in my case. I think that's why I spend so many hours (maybe a hundred? ) trying to fix my first city and boy, yours looks easy by comparison =)

[@ratchet1freak]

that center skyscraper area really needs ways to cross the highway that is making it an island. That should fix a lot of the traffic I think. The only way in and out of that thing was the one highway access.

[@ShawFujikawa]

I reckon 90% of traffic problems in Cities: Skylines could be boiled down to either excessive traffic lights or over-capacity roundabouts and cloverleafs. EDIT: Biffa, at that highway T-junction you started fixing at 31:11 you're preventing anyone coming on from the highway from changing lanes at all as you've disallowed lane changing at the junction between the highway and the 6-lane road. Notice how nobody is changing lanes any more at all.

[@peewypeabody4284]

43:26 Biffa! Mate! Those two junctions are too close together! Thanks to Hugo, everyone coming from the off ramp is forced to take the road into the city.

At 24:05, that junction had traffic lights on the slip road, you could have turned off the traffic lights, changed the lane to turn right and disable the left turn because it appears to be a filter road to bypass the traffic light junction and that would have fixed it.
