I find that the three lane highway gets more congested as a small roundabout than a traffic light. A two lane highway with lane switching enabled at all intersections and the right hand lane for exit only works a dream in tight spaces like he has here. You have to enable lane switching because you likely don't have more nodes than intersections when you are working that small.

Lol Biffa :) I had a laugh at the 21th minute where you mention the landfill sides being to close to the highway. while before the 7th minute where there was actually no highway, they where placed actually quite right. The problem there was caused not by the land fill, but by the throughroad that you touched in minute 23:40. What also might have been verry effective is connecting that road up to th ebypass lanes you mentioned in 20:00 so that local traffic will split from through traffic. However in the end you fixed the city again. Good video agian and I enjoy looking at them.

i think the problem with this city at first is that there's like only one entrance to a HUGE part of town. That makes all your traffic (25k) go directly there which causes this heavy congestion. When I was building a city, I just put one entrance in which meant I was going to have this huge line of cars. But when I added another entrance into town the WHOLE highway cleared up. Correct me if I'm wrong. :)

Traffic so bad that the vehicles DRIVE OVER EACH OTHER?! 😆 I don't even know where to begin with this one! 😆 Did the creator have metro here? 🤔 It's obvious that more roundabouts were needed off that highway. My GPS lady called them "traffic circles" by the way. 😆 I just finished my vacation from a city in Indiana called Carmel. It has more roundabouts (or traffic circles) than any other American city. The town plans to go fully for them in the future. Keep it going, Biffa! 👍 It's the Power of the Tea! 👍😆

A single city won't be enough, and i can't even begin imagining how it could work because a real city/town doesn't exist in a vacuum, there are certain businesses and facilities nearby which you must consider, everything on Earth is one whole humanity connected, it's not discreet places.

One around the inside rail of the big area, one on the inside of the small area, and one around the outside of the entire area. By doing this, each station has a monorail coming and going from each direction without overlapping intersections.

@donavanaking

Great video! For the cargo harbor you could use a road with a median so the trucks do not cross over the road. Also, I would redo the lane mathematics for the highway interchange going into the new industry area. When the two lanes exiting the highway merge, they merge into a 1 lane road and then into the 4 lane road you built. Switching the 1 lane road to a 2 lane road would help there!

Hey Biffa, instead of sticking little roundabouts on busy intersections (like in 14:10) I find that setting up lefternmost lane on a main road to be left-turn (or viceversa on righthand drive roads) only gives better results and appeals more visually. That in connection with priority signs and few shift+S's before the junctions solves it rather nicely most of the time ;)

Suggestion for people who don't like too many roundabouts: Make a "squareabout" by using one way roads in busy areas. It's not always as effective as a "real" roundabout, but sometimes it simply looks better. Roundabouts often look like "I built this to fix a problem". Squareabouts can easily be "hidden".
@CheddarmanGeo

Yes, that's what I was talking about … at least what I WANTED to talk about … I admit, my English is very bad :) Anyway, creating kind of a "ring system" often helps a lot. Or "you can only go OFF this main road" can be a good solution, too. Sometimes roundabouts don't really meet the "style" or look a little misplaced in some areas. So if somebody doesn't want a roundabout, my suggestion is to imagine what a roundabout would do in a certain situation and trying to achieve the same effect with other techniques.

Hey Biffa, I'm a new subscriber, and I'm also a new player of Cities. I've only purchased the base game though, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in making a video where you show off the best techniques possible with the base mechanics, no mods, no DLC. It could be an interesting challenge

I've found that give way signs just don't work on busy roundabouts. Yes, the roundabout keeps moving, but the connecting roads just clog up entirely. I've just stop using the give way on the busy roads and instead just relly on the short stop the cars make before they enter it.

I set up those roundabouts i had with TM:PE but i guess it didn't save in the save file. But thank you so much for fixing my traffic :D

Another tip: don't bother with tree-lined roads in industry areas. Just wasting money, and they have no parking spaces.

Something about connecting little roads to the round-about to keep it's shape when you add/delete roads to it... Did you know, that every place you connect a road to another road it creates a new node? And nodes seem to be the only place traffic will change lanes. And something I see you do very often when correcting traffic is not following through with fixing the outcome of your changes... like forcing right-lane traffic to turn right, but the very next node you force the right-lane traffic to turn right. Meaning you're forcing traffic coming in, to immediately leave, or go off around the city to get to where they're going. If you use those little roads to connect to the round-about in between the roads you will create new nodes in between the ones you have roads attached to (if the round-about's big enough, and if 55 or bigger it sometimes has them already), giving traffic another opportunity to change lanes and get to where they're going. Something I do myself in a round-about is to control lane changing in those [in-between] nodes to only be able to change L/R one lane. It forces them to go all the way around the round-about if they came on one lane too far from their exit, and keeps them from blocking traffic with excessive/exaggerated lane-changing. I think I've done quite nicely myself with one of the first cities I built, I went back and "fixed" it when it had a population of ~45k and traffic was gridlocked at 35% or less. It now has over 100k population (closely approaching 150k) and traffic is always between 72% and 79%.... Thanks to your videos!

I've found that splitting traffic going into roundabouts helps things move too. With multiple lanes coming into a roundabout the furthest right lane I direct into the outside lane of the ring and the left lanes I direct deeper into the roundabout, splits the traffic when they want to immediately turn right vs going to another out road.

Holding shift will set the same settings along all continuing roads *UNTIL* you hit an intersection. It's very useful for longer stretches of road, less so for multi-junction roundabouts.

Biffa! On the Roundabout Mod, click the "..." next to TMPE and make sure that's configured correctly. It's confusing but it might not be configured right! I've had the same issue.

Does anyone else love when Biffa complains about something (ie landfills) being to close to a highway junction. A junction that he just put in. That wasn't there before..... "You shouldn't have this here next to this....."
