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.

[@Kishanth.J]

@@legenderlyepic5000 passenger airport, yes but cargo airport no.

[@jesielcruz3412]

It was for a day

[@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.

[@Indeed_Szymo19pl]

for the problem with traffic on highways you can enable lane changing option in traffic manager options, but it can sometimes ruin everything so tweak it a little bit.

[@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.

14:30 it actually is not a luxury as Airports are required to have a firefighter department, in case a plane crashes, so basically every other airport you run currently is more or less illegal

[@thesteelrodent1796]

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

[@ImmortalAbsol]

Is there a mod that randomises the destination for the trucks when more than one exists? Like for the airports and train stations?

[@TXPhoenix79]

10:30 You could just have one way tracks leading into the station there by designating the station as an export only to airplane station.

[@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.

[@FMuscleZ28]

There're other options, paths, metro, train etc.

I believe Biffa has commented on one of his videos saying that “please no”.

[@siuski765]

If this is possible, you should build a small airport near the Uptown Snobsbury for rich people only [I guess you can just make the tickets more expensive or sth] and build an Aviation Museum there, maybe near the cliff. Oh, that would be so cool. Also came up with a name for it: Snobby Airs

[@tonycastro-ramirez659]

[@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.

[@jabcmw1]

Biffa would disagree

[@lonelyPorterCH]

Those landing and takeoffs really do look funky^^

[@justinmclean5778]

Make tunnels for roads instead of bridges under taxiways. So its less of an eye sore

[@Luredreier]

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.

[@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.

[@sjbclaeys]

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!

[@JP-ef4oo]

You can also add the train-stations on a separate road network(within the airport) where they do not interfere with the other traffic and the cargo trucks can not use that station

[@Torgonius]

It's not a traffic jam. Those trucks are part of the Digital Freedom Convoy!

[@CrazyLikeStein]

I can’t remember what airport it was I was at but I remember taxi-ing over a road. Like the whole plan was just rolling on a specific bridge that had a tunnel underneath it for cars.

[@XanderCrews4Prez]

WHY IS THIS THE MOST SATISFYING THING IN MY LIFE

[@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.

[@spoon5063]

In this DLC it's like you either build a huge mega airport for everything, or are forced to make an unrealistic amount of tiny airports everywhere.

this game really needs a mod that makes the traffic cleverer. there's a bird app in this game, so there's probably a radio that announces traffic jams. want it to be immersive, make it a feature of an industry. this is kinda the only thing that holds me back playing this more. there has to be a way to make this more dynamic.

You have a highway which draws traffic from multiple different branches, and to thin that traffic out you'll need more branches, not a funnel. I would suggest a separate turn off for each entrance to the cargo hub

[@Eanruig]

Hi Kibz - I like the new episode. Maybe you could divide the trucks equally with traffic lights? Is it possible to make the lights like 10 seconds only left, then 10 seconds only straight and then 10 seconds only right?

[@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.

[@ShowXTech]

You could try to separate the Airport into like three sections, like 6 parking spaces per runway.
