Something that might help is to turn on Automatic Tolls policy. You'll make less money from tolls but the trucks can go through the toll booth without stopping so you'll make more money by them getting to the destination faster and not clogging the roads

Interesting fact: Anchorage is the busiest cargo airport in the world. It can service Asia, Europe and the America all at the same time. In fact it became the busiest airport in the world in 2020. And as climate change melts the polar ice caps more it is going to be vital for cargo ships too.

[@jesielcruz3412]

[@wild_lee_coyote]

Anchorage was one of the top passenger hubs back in like the 90’s. Russia restricted a lot of commercial traffic, so a Europe to Asia fight was quicker through Anchorage than south across India. Also you airlines didn’t have the legs that they do now so a New York to Japan had to have a layover and the best was Anchorage. The most modern planes can now make that flight nonstop, but for cargo flights they would have to decrease the cargo they could carry. So Anchorage is better for cargo flight. When Covid hit and passenger traffic took a nose dive, cargo traffic was still going strong. It’s still one of the busiest and will be for a long time, is the logistics more than the popularity of the city.

[@person3triple0]

RE: Incoming trucks. PLEASE use lane math and the lane tool, it will help greatly with dividing traffic through the airport. Also considering you have three 'lanes' (entrances) you might do better if you just disconnect them? that way trucks can't go in one entrance and end up at a different terminal.

Your "efficient roads" are not very efficient. You need to change the lane count between on and off ramps to force the traffic to move over, otherwise you'll always have a massive traffic jam in the right lane, and if your offramp goes into a two-lane road, then the ramp should also be two lanes

[@FMuscleZ28]

What about banning trucks from going into the cargo airport and only using trains from local industry cargo rail stations to deliver to the airport? Disconnect the airport completely from the road network and let the airport/train station's own vehicles do the relay. (and build required services directly onto airport land)

[@Luredreier]

Don't disconnect it, but ban heavy traffic to it. It might need workers etc after all.

When making roads that merge or split, consider matching the number of lanes. So if you have a two lane road and one lane enters it you should have three lanes after the merger if possible, and if you have three lanes and one splits of then you should have two after the split on the main road.

[@justinmclean5778]

[@sgarr17]

From my experience with a big and busy industrial area and a cargo airport close by, you will never get the traffic to split evenly amongst your cargo stands. But I found a decent compromise by having my highway off ramps lead directly to different cargo airplane stands (with like 8 units of the cargo road). So, a main highway from the industry area leads to a seven-way split, each of which again splits into two, for a total of 14 cargo plane stands. Only about 5/6 actually get used, but at least it spreads the traffic out a lot, and it's interesting to look at. Until someone makes a mod which encourages the AI to go to different cargo stands, I think the best idea is to just use the Rebalanced Industries mod to greatly reduce the amount of cargo trucks used by industry buildings (it's a genuine godsend, but I understand wanting to figure it out), and try to reduce the crossing traffic and slow areas on the cargo roads.

[@z-tonicemporium4994]

For the delivery plains have them on their own yard with only roads to exit. Have more space in-between ur export areas. Dont have all ur export plains storage commected together. Meaning if it uses one of the tolls to enter its only going to go to that one export storage. It stopes them from trying to go to the same storage but using different tolls. Ur taxie ways are to close and interconected. Give them a bit more space. Think of the plains as cars. Need increase capacity to more volume. Ur only using a single taxie lane for a very very heavy volume of plains. For ur size of storage yard. U need a exit taxi lane dedicated to its only takeoff runway.

you should have the tollbooths vertically next to eachother and have one road split into three before the booths and then have 3 seperate roads after the booths each going to an isolated part with planes. this way distance is equal and not every car can go to one plane... love your video's!

[@misatzu]

24:18 Yeeeaaahhh ... almost impossible if you aren't utilizing significantly more than 2 brain cells 😏 Ironically, this would work easiest with your earlier setup having the accessway at one end: Let's say this whole side of the airport has a length of 100% and for the sake of simplicity there are only 3 entrances at 0%/50%/100%. To get to the 1st entrance, you go 50% away from the access point, fold the road in the middle, go back to the 1st entrance and reach it after a total road length of 100%. To get to the 2nd entrance, you go 75% and then fold the road, go another 25% back to the 2nd entrance, et voilà: 100%. To get to the 3rd entrance ... well, that should be obvious enough. If the traffic distribution still isn't even, simply adjust the folding points accordingly. Rocket science!!! 🥳 (hope you get the reference to your Falcon 9 Heavy reference lol) 24:13 No, you did not. Not really. 😛

Collab with biffa to teach kibs the secrets of traffic?

[@Baleur]

Sadly you cant solve traffic in this game, ever. Because of the fundamental way they coded the traffic, is stupid as hell. Trucks dont sample the traffic density along the path, so dont choose a less trafficated route. Nor do they overtake each other in seperate lanes, but just pile in a single lane. The only way to halfway fix this is to enable Advanced AI in Traffic President (the mod), but that comes with huge preformance issues. Its pretty much why i stopped playing 4 years ago. Once you reach 100-200k citizens, you realize how broken the fundamental simulation is.

[@drtaru]

If the trucks AI hasn’t selected a left route and the light is green to go left it will just sit there and wait until it turns to the direction it already wants to go. This would make things worse.

[@capitalinventor4823]

I'd suggest to try adding more aircraft stands (or whatever the spots are called where the planes stop to unload/load the cargo) and add a bit more space between them. With the current setup about half the stands have planes before planes start waiting on the taxiway. There is plenty of demand at the airport to handle many more planes. If you brought the taxiway further away from the stands then you would be able to add space between the current stands and add some more stands to the end of the rows. There is plenty of space to do this. For the trucks the choking point is where the four lanes goes down to two right before it turns to the airport roads. How about having the four lanes coming from the toll booth each go to a separate single lane and the single lanes spreads the vehicles out along the back road (where each of the toll booths lead to)? If you wanted to have each of the lanes end at a row of aircraft stands this would allow you to add another row of stands. This change would replace the four toll booths and trying to get the vehicles to spread out into the four of these. The vehicles may stay in one or two lanes before the toll booth and end up in one or two of the single lanes afterward but it would be interesting to find out.
