Of all the creators, we know imperatur is going come in clutch with all this amazing network building ❤ so much easier now not having to flood with sewage first 😂

[@1080GBA]

real

[@AndresMartinez-sp6jb]

Still he's going to flood somewhere somehow for a good reason 😆

[@EricErs22]

Would like proper walls, not these streets "missused"

[@imperatur]

Hahah true, i will miss the poop flooding🫠😂

[@berglh]

​@@imperaturdo you need to miss it though? I know it was the trick for quay walls, but nothing stopping you working it in a guide for old times sake 😅

[@ShootingDrive]

Trying to do these myself on vanilla CS2 makes me realize how much I've taken for granted all the road building mods in CS1 lol

[@FaCkEmOuT]

Or Developers do nothing and dont take this in new Game. Feel pain , pay more.

[@EV6CrashCam]

@@FaCkEmOuTno, road building is still way better than vanilla cs1… if youve tried making a smooth off ramp in vanilla cs1 vs cs2, you would see how much easier it is in cs2. definitely gonna need a mod like move it so i can adjust elevations of nodes and segments after placement tho

[@ashleighevie]

Having to relearn everything has been really tricky, especially getting roads to look nice

[@FreakAzoiyd]

Road tools are quite a let down in CS2. When the ground is uneven your elevation changes all the time when you move the mouse, plus when you elevate up or down the x and y positions jumps around. Tunnel entrances usually look terrible or they are completely glitched.

[@firasalmeshari4851]

I find this much more fun, more realistic to build.

[@bossfight6125]

2 days in and we’re already looking at proper tutorials from one of Cities skylines’ biggest creators👍👍👍

[@nicolasbilal8769]

Dude, thank you for this tutorial, please give us more. I love this so much and it was so easy for me to do. I’ve never made such a beautiful looking highway ever in city skylines. So happy I tried this.

[@lumityforce]

I’m so jealous of you imperature, I have to wait until spring of 2024 to play this game.

[@servenomasters4523]

It is rather dumb. I was so sad when I found out. I was ready to install it the other day.

[@K-SHABAB]

isn't is already available on pc steam

[@lumityforce]

@@K-SHABAB I play on console

[@K-SHABAB]

@@lumityforce oh ok my bad❤️

[@twocflyer7520]

Cannot wait for more. These were what I was waiting for. And they are finally here!!! I request a diverging diamond system interchange and a single point service interchange.

[@subliminalgravy1549]

Actually amazing dude. Can't wait to see what you create as time goes on. Even when I'm not playing I always click, if nothing else to feel inferior 😂 Love to see you take a crack at some cool transport hubs and designs! Cheers as always my guy

[@Hitonsight6]

Just did this for my very first actual city. Hopefully the city works out. Took me a little while but Im getting better. Thank you!

[@eliasadam2345]

Game is not even a week old and he's already mastered the game and giving tutorials, nice.

[@Bambi298_LP]

I'm loving this video😍 Really easy to understand with a really cool and good looking result. I'm also loving the songs you used. My favorite is "Bother me" by Hallman!

[@pedromanuelpujolstejedal5766]

Thank you for your tutorials! I am looking forward for more

[@NSeaBear]

I did this. It took me so much time and the water became a problem. But the end result is great! Thank you!

[@LynKazoyuu]

Took me like 40mins but i finally got it, works awesome thanks!

[@parallax_review]

Thank you so much, it worked flawlessly! Can't wait to see what you come up with next

[@imperatur]

Have you already built it?:)

[@parallax_review]

@@imperatur Yes, it works like a charm and I think I also got a better grasp of the road tools after following your instructions

[@marcmartinez7346]

very good tutorial!! it toke me more than 15-20 mins but cause im not that pro 🙃, but i love it! thanks very much!!

[@presto569]

upgrading the road so it has an acceleration lane, and matches perfectly into the road is a really good idea!

[@Pablitodb]

I was waiting for the GREAT tutorials on Cities Skylines 2

[@st.lutiana714]

This is what I looking for, Thanks!

[@redmoth9436]

thanks, i will copy this for sure, you are the best in this game

[@imguynoodle]

Loving the content my man, keep it up.

[@MrDavidsual]

Genius, thanks for sharing

[@robertbaker4186]

I knew it wouldn't be long, keep the content coming

[@vandit187]

So clean. So beautiful. ❤

[@davidoliva1036]

Its so f*cking creative how people like you are given a few options and go outside the streamline giving them an extra turn to its uses and end developing such artfull structures like this one.

[@goodysist]

nice one! Great work.

[@wisconsinbound2123]

Great video thanks

[@bucketmcpretty9786]

this is one of the things I was most looking forward to in CS2

[@Rodiandrea]

Great build!

[@CrossriderBankai23]

Nice, now I want to see a sunken highway with maxed lanes, full of overpass, in the middle of the city with high density of traffic, I remember there's a video on KZbin, someone used the old mods to do smooth angles, overpass, now it's a lot easier on CS2, I forgot the name, but it's a highway with lots of lanes, and overpass or lanes doing everywhere, this could be satisfying to see 😊

[@gabiballetje]

Exactly what i was planning on doing, and this time it's a bit easier than with CS1. And better looking. Can't wait for a TMPE mod though, still some improvements to be had.

[@Sanathas2604]

Another masterpiece! Hail the Imperatur!

[@Emperor-Blitz]

i did it, it's pretty cool perhaps some optimization but thank you very much

[@marcuselectrified6439]

Holy Moly amazing job

[@cryptohondarghini7282]

simply lovely😄

[@Lebowski_89]

It looks perfect, ill try to build this highway in my city

[@josephhodge7343]

That is awesome

[@jasonarthurs3885]

Not surprising to see Imperatur out of the gate two days after release: Legend.

[@gp5313]

This is so perfect

[@chinolewin3335]

i am going to be using this !!

[@motiongamerz824]

Waiting for cs 1 vanilla series it's best ever city in yt... Ilove it.. iam huge of yours....

[@Mr.Gamer-FC20]

Good job 👍

[@creamage.]

thank you my friend

[@Delenter]

That looks really cool, I would like to see it with more traffic running though it and see how it fairs though.

[@algiers_mapping221]

Finaly the lagendary serie start😭😭❤️❤️❤️🤝👑

[@Muzzup]

Bro that's is remarkably genius work !

[@imperatur]

Thanks man I really appreciate it

[@bullet5817]

Gerne mehr!

[@muslimmasud2908]

okeee let's gooo... awesome

[@tireks4853]

f...master, you are genius. More intersections from you :)

[@Wasbever_14]

Nice !!

[@Jessie_Pinkman_]

More CS2 tutorials please!? I tried to build a highly with a sunken railway earlier but it was rubbish 😢😅

[@alejandroaa6518]

Love your content, I've learnt a lot with your videos. Is there any way when we place a road at the seaside that we can only see the road concrete? In some parts, land stays there and I can't remove it...

[@iurigoes]

Nice, i will download on the workshop now! , ups damm

[@gersonmorales4567]

Eres el mejor man, saludos desde España

[@AbuzerKadayif]

We definitely need the Road Fine Tool. Hope they'd come up with nice news about mods.

[@stunnasaad]

a texas style freeway with frontage road access. Just need the Texas U-turns and businesses plopped on the side.

[@Baltecc]

@imperatur Is 8 m depth the minimum possible depth or would e.g. 6 m depth also work so that the bridges can run over them and the ascents and descents still fit into the respective areas (cells between the crossings)?

[@DM-fe2bc]

I'm just gonna wait until we can have more control over the cut and fill and be able to force elevations. Too frustrating. Definitely appreciate this tutorial though. You made it look so easy.

[@5blocksmc979]

the classic wide freeway going through the city

[@bigg2507]

Great video. Just ignore all the winning children and their comments really appreciate your videos. CS2 is an excellent game and is only going to get better.

[@sherrisville]

Really hope we get a copy/paste and save template feature soon

[@ThE4EvRPs3GaMeR]

Does having a sunken highway do anything for noise pollution or is it purely aesthetics. I'm asking because I just got this game as my introduction to a city builder. Was curious if its a feature or not. If you mentioned it in the video I'm sorry, I must have missed that part. BTW we have a highway just like this by my house and I always thought it was cool especially when the shrubbery grows in during the seasons.

[@Shaquille0624]

This man built any Midwest city freeway. Didn’t know CS2 could do thst

[@Nnnevermore]

Its a great design! However, it can create serious traffic with those crossroads.

[@JaCrispy3060]

We definitely need an easier way to do this lol, like just a dedicated quay road with ground on one side

[@davidgilbert2932]

Can you do something similar with the concrete paths and turn them into quays? I found that also works like the streets so you don't have to always use streets. It doesn't have to be a highway, See if you can do one near the water to make it look like a waterside quay.

[@poketo6727]

I just can’t wait to see what people can do with mods

[@bieuw5304]

Neaaat’ 👍

[@GerardLP95]

Te amo Sr Imperatur :* (besito en la frente)

[@hafidzgi]

I can't believe we're back to "how to build basic* thing in CS" kind of tutorial again, it's been a hell of a ride. *with mods obviously

[@TheGovernanceNavigator]

Couldnt you use the two road side by side tool, and set the elevation to that position that is just before a tunnel, I.E making it a trench?

[@cynricsaxon2945]

Will be fun once we can Do DDI's or DLT interchanges

[@B.E.89]

Looks exactly like berlin stadtautobahn :D

[@AlkaloidMushrooms]

mouse sensivity? dpi? i was argue a things xD good job :)

[@sajisama24]

Man the new road tools are INCREDIBLE. The difference between CS 1 and 2 is night and day.

[@test-tl8dt]

i cant believe im playing vanilla when i build roads in this game

[@TdaYAADMAN]

Infrastruktur meister

[@aeroprince]

Looks like the signalling needs some work. When coming off the ramp, the parallel road also gets green at the same time and it causes conflict and congestion in dense areas. I wouldn't probably use this through a high density downtown.

[@LaurensPP]

I like this, but it does indicate that the road tool, although still an improvement compared to Vanilla CS1, falls short. It should not be such a convoluted process to build a relatively simple sunken highway. That has been my main gripe with CS as a series. It's all very convoluted and hardly streamlined.

[@justicealistair7774]

Saving for later when it drops on PS5.

[@matsv201]

Wouldn´t it make more sense just use the parralel road tool, increase the distance to what ever needed and just draw two parallel roads?

[@faustinpippin9208]

i wonder if we can build actual underground parking garages that fit under any building, or will it be just a building that sores cars under ground level...

[@jamesdl5495]

👍👍👍

[@mikieangel77]

you are a monster

[@Hitonsight6]

How did u do the 5 lane roads from the 6 lane bridges, I see its 3 lanes to turn then 3 lanes again on the other side to turn but its 2 lane going into it. I cant figure that out.

[@Hitonsight6]

figured it out! LOL

[@eMatt69]

Thank God we have mods for this, now! 😅

[@jamesmmcgill]

It would be spectacular if someone make a Koyaanisqatsi-styled video using Cities Skylines II.

[@chaibnederling2524]

👍

[@wakcedout]

This would work to simulate a downtown highway near me, but an end that’s tricky would be where a subway line goes above ground and down the middle of the highway. Don’t think skylines gives options to make those connection styles.

[@adampaniagua151]

Give it some time. When assets and mod support are official in the game. We will have more of a variety of stations to choose from

[@dominics.9613]

Does this also work in CS1, wanted to build one last city before I switch

[@nunornmeneses]

top

[@SkankHunt8008]

What is sound pollution like? Does it work as a natural highway barrier?

[@asantaraliner]

Unfortunately there's no Toll Gate or Toll Booth in CS2. I always use them in CS1 because in my country all the highways are Toll Roads.

[@alvisenicoletti2927]

How do you make sure both highways are equally spaced from the walls?

[@skymanlee]

Very interesting, but not sure how much traffic it could handle.

[@DoctorChelo]

Can you show how to build a 3-way and 4-way intersections?

[@coheneastman6523]

I feel like grid building and precise building it super hard in cs2

[@xevilhomer1167]

Please, this exact tutorial but dock/port by water. Making both inward and outward turns as I've found them to behave differently.😩

[@Hypersky75]

Décarie à Montréal!

[@1DontNoclip]

I wish we could add barriers between the 2 carriageways as not having a divider sounds dangerous

[@bonsly2470]

The game does allow you to add sound barriers to the sides of highways, I'm however unsure if there's enough clearance between the two highway for said sound barrier to fit. But if there is enough clearance, then there you go.

[@johnshutich5177]

My only suggestion is to make it 144m by 80m then you can do a highway with a space of 1 and the ramps are not such a tight fit.

[@john_miller_]

Did you activate TAA? Does not look like
