Free Your Traffic Using The SPUI! - Single Point Urban Interchange - Cities: Skylines Tutorial

[@uszol80]

I will not edit my previous comment, but will write a new one. The last time I posted a comment under one of your "tutorials" I wrote in it that people like you are missing. Taking inspiration from other KZbinrs is one thing, but you also need to know how to build such an intersection, for example, and you are one of the really few who will explain how to do it. Consequently, you are not only a person who teaches, but also teaches and inspires. After watching this video, I immediately felt like playing. Unfortunately, I will not do it because today we are playing against Spain for Euro 2020.

You are the real MVP in this game. I really like how you also learn as you go and show your thought process when building these interchanges, instead of planning every detail ahead and just giving us one of those videos that seem like they came out of a robot. The way you do these make it way easier (at least for me) to really learn how to properly make them. Another great video! Keep up the amazing work!

I recently got back into CS with the announcement of CS2. I was never really a youtube watcher until Covid. I immediately subscribed after watching the first video in your interchange playlist! I know this is 2 years old, but I had to comment. You, good sir, are outstanding! These videos aren't just a fast time lapse of a build. You take the time to show how to build them, and why you are doing what you are doing. I find myself spending most of my time working on my road system more than I spend on building cities, so these videos are very inspirational to me. Also, you are just as OCD about symmetry as I am. I've seen so many sloppy builds. Yours are a breath of fresh air. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the playlist. Thanks a million for your time and effort in making these videos!

We use these on the Yellowhead in Edmonton at three locations: Wayne Gretzky Drive, 83rd Street, 97th Street. The latter two are connected to frontage roads allowing for good business access to boot. This is an excellent guide and produces an exceptional approximation of these interchanges that we have here (particularly Gretzky).

[@JoshColletta]

I grew up in Miami, and my grandparents lived in Clearwater. I couldn't have been more than three or four years old when I first became consciously aware of the fact that the interchange of Roosevelt Blvd. / E. Bay Drive and US 19 was something special, different than any other interchange I could remember encountering. The thing that fascinated me was the traffic lights mounted under the bridge for the off-ramps. I instantly fell in love with the design. It wasn't until later in life that I learned the very first interchange of the type was built just up the freeway at the interchange with Gulf-to-Bay Blvd. in 1974. I've been building them in my cities for as long as I can remember. Even later in life, I learned, at the interchange of Wendover Ave. and Holden Rd. in Greensboro, that such a thing as an *inverted* SPUI exists. ...Don't try putting one of those in a high-traffic area. Just... don't.

[@switzerstudio]

i like how you explain everything very clearly and with respect. greetings from netherlands

[@tomg9061]

I've also been finding myself realizing if I don't detail while building it never gets done. I have a number of good looking intersections that need IMT, extra decorations... so much to do so little time.

[@YUMBL]

I try to build slow so each intersection is built with a little more care.

[@Ravenousjoe]

My city has very similar intersections, and at the top of the left hand turning ramp, the inner most lane has the ability to do a turn around. Might be an easy change and will make it even more true to life even if it isn't used often.

[@TurboLife]

I was going to mention this as well!

[@MaleusMaleficarum]

I love your thought process when drawing it all out. I just make a spui but the hw overpasses instead of underpass and lemme tell ya the ramps are backing up I may just have to add the extra ramp lanes.

[@YUMBL]

An extra lane helps a lot on the exit ramps. Especially if traffic will be turning both directions at the next intersection.

[@inyobill]

@@YUMBL Of course, where you choose to put the 2 vs. 1 lane is totally dependent on which direction the bulk of traffic is going.

One "realism" thing about sinking the main highway I think is that you get landfill form there to use for the roads along the side. So it makes sense logistically as well to do it this way.

Just built this in my city, haven’t run the simulation yet but it looks great and I bet it will perform so as well. In my design, I made the highway a flyover, as it will go through my city raised, and put the intersection underneath. It works better for my road layout, but the downside is I don’t get to see the satisfying intersection!

[@YUMBL]

Thats my one issue w the underpass version. Same reason I dont like using tunnels in interchanges. Aside from realism, tunnels hide all the great work you can do! I do love an elevated highway on occasion though :)

[@augustolobo2280]

@@YUMBL To be honest, I would think this one is literally the DDI but better because it removes the conflict of cars entering the interchange before cars exiting the interchange. In this one all happens in a single spot, controled by a traffic light. I would definitely use this one instead of the classical DDI.

[@YUMBL]

Thank you! Keep in mind the SPUI is a three phase light and a DDI is a two phase light.

I was quite happy when I built my first SPUI some time ago but now I feel like demolishing and rebuilding it as I watch this video again

[@YUMBL]

Good luck!

[@Cuguron1]

For the traffic lights i would suggest P1 straight + left from one side P2 straight + left other side P3 both left from the highway. The advantage from my perspective would be that all 4 lanes from one side will move at the same time and any last minute lane changes that will occure irl will be between moving lanes. Moving in and out between moving and not moving lanes is extremly dangerous! Plus only P3 cars will move from both side without any "hard" separation witch will reduce the risk of frontal collisions.

[@YUMBL]

You’re right! For reasons you may not even know. In my experience once you use node controller all the arrows become straight. The light loses the ability to use a left arrow anyways. You’ll see the way you described is how mine is actually set up at the beginning of the video.

[@Mango.Bandicoot]

I've been watching your videos and I'm sure I'll never be able to make a city look as good as yours. However, there is one of these but in reverse in the city I work in. The highway goes over the interchange. It works very well, not confusing at all, and it gets traffic where it needs to go.

[@YUMBL]

Yes! People say how confusing this seems, but its fine when youre in it

[@RustyWalker]

I can't wait for my attempt that I'll refer to loosely as, "Mash all the connecting roads in the middle in a big mess and wonder why traffic flow is 1%" It's like food that always looks prettier on the box than when you actually cook it yourself.

[@WatchingTrainsGoBy-PassingTime]

I want to see this become the standard in real life. Less confusing for people than a diverging diamond. Clean and efficient. Putting a single intersection in the center instead of doing what we do IRL by having an intersection on both sides of the highway so close together eliminated a lot of issues. Sometimes simple is best when the design is right. And it actually looks nice thanks to the sweeping curves.

[@YUMBL]

Agreed! And thank you :)

[@weirdalfan1980]

I have both Yumbl's steam intersection. SPUI and ParClo, the ParClo works alot better. The SPUI all traffic fighting each other in one point, Parclo, if u make all off ramp right turns, NO ONE will fight each other. I use the Parclo more because it works well in heavy traffic area, like Downtown

[@YUMBL]

Did you set up the SPUI with a traffic light as intended?

[@Warren_L.]

I agree with weirdalfan (and not just because I'm a Weird Al fan). I may be an oddball (been one my whole life!), but I've experienced SPUIs in Cities and in real life, and I find them very inefficient. The ParClo, DCMI or Turbine work much better in Cities, in my experience.

[@YUMBL]

Parclo’s are better, but they take up much more space. Dcmi’s are great too. Turbines are a system interchange, so theyre not for getting on or off the highway.

[@weirdalfan1980]

@@YUMBL SPUI is okay for lighter area, like feeding into a low rez. But I had a SPUI 2 times, traffic went nuts going into downtown that has 30000 workers. So I had to do Parclos instead. SPUI works but not for feeding 30000 workers going downtown.

There are a bunch of these where I live (Vancouver, WA) and they're neat. I recently started putting some in my city where I was using DDIs. I feel like the DDI does flow a bit better, but they're a colossal PITA to build, and require more space. The last SPUI I built took all of 10 minutes, is very compact, and has better walkability. So I'm a fan now.

[@YUMBL]

Id say a DDI is better in terms of flow, but a SPUI generally gets it done

[@JETZcorp]

@@YUMBL That's what I've found too. A DDI flows a little better in exchange for a lot of fiddly work and is really awkward to do things like add trams later. I have 4 or 5 in my city and I'm just done building them. At this point if a SPUI can't handle it, I'm going straight to a freaking turbine, lol.

[@TeamRAR]

The only SPUI in Metro Detroit is actually underneath the freeway. The freeway has a suspension bridge. The off ramps open up to 4 lanes to split into two 2-lane segments for turning. The road underneath was formerly an 8 lane divided highway, reduced to 6 through lanes here. I believe this interchange replaced a cloverleaf. I-94 at US-24 in Taylor, MI.

[@YUMBL]

Nice! I would assert that this is better than a cloverleaf (depending on a lot of things mainly that I hate cloverleafs.)

[@moosemanuk]

[@YUMBL]

I tend to agree! It also doesn’t take up much space. Parclo is better, but also bigger.

[@ArchTeryx00]

Interesting SPUI story. I originally came from Columbus, OH, and one of our most infamous interchanges was Sawmill Road (an arterial road) and I-270, the city's Beltway. It was a bastard PARCLO that had no fewer than *three* traffic lights, connected the city with the fastest growing suburb (Delaware), and was an utter disaster during rush hour or if there was ANY accident along I-270. So what did they do? They tore down the PARCLO in stages and built a classic SPUI instead! Suddenly, three traffic lights became *one* giant traffic light. It uses three phases, just like your interchange. And the amount of traffic it pushed was easily triple what the old PARCLO could handle. Even during rush hour, traffic jams on Sawmill became a thing of the past. All because of a better interchange design. :-)

[@matsv201]

Standard hight is 4.5 meters, most overpases is built 4.8m to have spare space. The road thickness is usually around 1.5 meters for highway overpases (but can easialy be 3 meters for river crossings or longer spans). So typically the difframce in hight would be 6.3 meters. This number is usally keped as low as possible, becuse there is a limited highway ramp angle, making it even a bit higher increase the cost of the ramp quite significantly.

[@HiiroRocker101]

There's an SPUI in Clarksville, TN at Wilma Rudolph Blvd and 101st Airborne Division Parkway, but its single point is on the ground, underneath 101st rather than over it, like you have in your version. Essentially there's significantly less bridge involved.

It's weird being alive during the process of road constructing and rmember what it was like before and after but I remember there was an intersection I'd use when I was young and the traffic was always backed up. It wasnt until later that I remembered how bad the traffic was. But the town finally decides to replace it with a diverging diamond and the first time i was on it i was thinking how in the hell is this better. There are too many signs and markers and dots and lights. I didnt realize until 4 years later that traffic had virtually disappeared and the road was almost always a smooth ride. I think it's because of that I'll never forget a diverging diamond when I see one and why I smile whenever someone gets audible frustrated by one.

At 11:00 I like covering that slope fill bit with a concrete quay. Makes it look neat imo

[@lenasuwo8408]

12:55 ive been thinking about that and you did just that

[@YUMBL]

;)

This guy is on another level.

The BoB Ross of Cities Skylines is back !!!

[@YUMBL]

The joy of infrastructure :)

[@jmurray2018]

@@YUMBL You got it in one ☝️ (technically in 4 - words that is) Oh btw as not everyone has or watches twitch it would be a good idea to show case one of your cities that exemplifies all the techniques you’ve have shown, I know the viewing audience seem to grow on let’s play’s my buddies Overcharged Egg and Simitar can testify to that, keep up your great work and I’ll try and keep an eye out for when you create a golf course 😉

[@YUMBL]

Excellent ideas! Except for the golf course.

[@turkeyman1123]

man, this is one of those things where I love looking at it in game, and I can clearly see how efficient it is, but boy would I hate having to drive on it myself.

[@YUMBL]

Its not the sort of thing that you know you’re in. Theres one near me. Used it dozens of times without k owing before playing Cities.

[@turkeyman1123]

Perhaps, I personally just dislike intersections with more than 4 directions as well as intersections with 45 degree angles both of which are rare in my area. Both make me feel considerably less safe when driving through them, so If I saw this sort of thing i would probably not be a happy camper, lol

[@YUMBL]

It feels just like a diamond. You follow your sign to the exit, and go left or right. You dont even really see the other directions when you’re in it.

[@JobaerArman]

loving this series. but skipping the interchange marking part makes me a bit sad. really love to watch the marking part. I really love the way you make all the details and explain them. please include the marking part in your newer videos. thank you so much. keep up the good work.

[@YUMBL]

Thank you! I would but It takes too long.

[@TheSpyGorillas]

i use this in my city and its great! many thanks! great vid :)

[@YUMBL]

Thank you :)

[@5blocksmc979]

In the diamond interchange, I use traffic lights commonly, but I sometimes use stop signs for very low traffic

[@skulcandykid]

You give me a tickling feeling to play Cities: Skylines with full autism every time i see one of your video's! Subscribed and waiting for the next video!

[@YUMBL]

Thanks a lot! :)

[@LarrySkylines]

I have built a couple SPUIs in my current city (and more parclos) and downloaded your intersections from the workshop. I’ll plop yours in empty space nearby as a guide and build my own, but mine never look as good as yours. The SPUIs handle traffic very well

[@YUMBL]

Thank you very much! :)

[@NicoWagner89]

We just had construction finish up on a DDI (Diverging Diamond Interchange) here in Phoenix and it works great but now I wish we had one of these instead.

[@YUMBL]

They both have advantages and drawbacks, but i think theyre similar in ways once installed. Both are better than a diamond.

[@lukes1330]

Exit 57 on the pacific motorway at 0xenford Queensland Australia is one of those.

[@pccerk]

Truly awesome demonstration. I love it. Have you thought about (or done one elsewhere) a variation that uses a 'contra-flow' concept where left-turn traffic is diverted to the left of the oncoming traffic before the intersection .. ?

[@YUMBL]

I havent yet. Maybe one day!

[@Kvalun]

can't seem to figure out how the roads in you video looks so much better than they do in my game. they have a much better contrast than mine does

[@YUMBL]

I have a video called “dark roads” that explains it

[@ShawnMSmith1]

Just another comment for the algy. Keep up the good work!

[@YUMBL]

Thank you! :)
