Since this video was published, the fairly recent addition of the parking lot snapping tool mod has made the Parking Lot Roads my favorite option to use. The Node Controller Renewal mod also helps make the combinations look fantastic for most situations.

I too greatly enjoy playing with Parking AI, really simulates city planning for a HD COM area. Well, I thought you were going to convince me which parking lot road mod is better, now I really can't decide ha ha. I agree with using PLR for smaller, dense shopping areas. While BigPLR offers more flexibility, as pointed out with that triangular design. Though now with recent mods, like Intersection marking tool and Node Controller, I am curious to experiment those combined with BigPLR. Hm, I think BigPLR may be a better choice. Thanks for dropping those tips on using Move it, especially holding alt while rotating! I am finding these videos to be quite advanced in the knowledge base, which is exactly what I am looking for. There are TONS of beginner and starting tutorials, but heavy modding with realism/realistic expectations seem to be few. Cheers :)

Nice! I didn’t see that one, but I’ll try to tell people moving forward. Thanks for watching!

[@fredbeforethemast]

Yes, it can come 2x4 and then the road-facing half is standard parking and the back square is electric. I saw a video where someone might have spawned a 2x3 on the background but I’ve never tried to see if it would happen.

[@daniellxnder]

The 2x2 only provides parking for electric cars but the 2x4 comes with the additional general purpose parking space!

[@jasperism27]

The road through the parking garages are necessary to avoid cims visibly flying their cars to the spaces from the outside road. It actually happens with stock assets, just more noticeable with dedicated parking buildings.

A underground parking garage would be great too. I mean, like the Condo-buildings... just one to clip underneath.

It would be great if some could build underground parking for large buildings, hotels, etc. Most realistic especially in an IT cluster

[@markvogel5872]

[@thorn0581]

I was finally able to get the Big lots parking lot to work by watching your video while doing it. I used it to make a parking lot for my Target store but haven't noticed yet if it is getting used. The pre-made lots I have gotten from the workshop show up as park assets and they get used almost immediately Edit: once I added access roads at the bottom of the lot cars started to appear

[@YUMBL]

Turn on “realistic parking” in traffic manager for the authentic parking experience ;)

[@papercrane25]

This is very helpful. I have the parking lot roads mod and always struggle to make my lots look good/realistic especially when I try to place more than one parking lot section next to another (if that makes sense). The bigger parking lots mod might help me make the type of parking spots I need.

[@YUMBL]

[@RussellStovetop386]

Subscribed! Amazing content sir!

[@protoborg]

Actually, on the "Parking Lot Roads", the parking spaces DO snap. I have the mod and I love that they snap in place. Though, the snapping is not exactly perfect. They sometimes misalign when adding a bunch of spaces at once.

[@YUMBL]

Check the date of this video vs when that was released ;)

[@gamophyte]

Thanks for your videos, I keep learning things even thought I already knew enough lol. Is there a key combo for the rotate at center? I know you don't like key combos, me neither funny enough. But in this case of place - place - place, it could be useful.

[@pixxa37]

Lovely video, YUMBL! I was struggling with placing a parking lot, using a different pack, now I'll use this. I am having the problem of zebra crossings that appear where I join the parking lot to the normal street, this is really grating me. I wish I knew how to remove individual zebra crossings.

[@YUMBL]

Thank you! Traffic manager: president edition is the mod that can remove crosswalks. Theres another mod called “rm crossings” that works with traffic manager and removes them visually.

[@ryleyw3684]

I use the parking lot roads, but thank's to you, I made my first realistic highway on/off ramps in my city with the lanes. That node controller tool along with the road line tool is very useful

[@Amsterdam1198]

[@YUMBL]

[@spekenbonen72]

Parkinglots and advanced parking AI (from the TMPE mod) = no more folks plopping their car right in front of the building they just left (trainstations etc.) No more trafficjams because of this. So it is REALLY helpfull to add parking around certain buildings/area's

[@-etaq8474]

It would be nice if anyone can make parking lots underground, like a subway station that has both a ground building and the underground part. It would be even better if we can adjust the heights of the parking lots just like the subway overhaul system, which could also help build multiple floors of underground parking.

[@YUMBL]

That would he great! There are underground parking lots in the workshop, but they aren’t great imo

[@WatchingTrainsGoBy-PassingTime]

If you click on the parking lot at 17:00 and use the mirror function with move it, then click in the road at the end of the parking lot that is literally a midpoint the same way you clicked the road to center the parking spots, you can perfectly place the second set of parking spaces with no fidgeting at all. I actually like parking lots for the realism and aesthetic. ALSO, if you turn on PARKING AI, be careful because they don't just drive around endlessly if you are lacking for parking spaces but often become confused and stuck, blocking traffic while searching for parking. Another tips is if you're building a lot you can put down the 8x2 or other sets of spaces, then drag the end of the road to meet the end of spaces instead of trying to draw exact road length.

[@sentientbowtie5773]

Great video, love the content. I’m wondering about something - you said near the end that some of your roads are from Network Extensions 2, but I’ve heard that mod can cause lots of issues with other mods. How well does it work for you? Would you recommend using it?

[@YUMBL]

It works fine for me. Never had a problem personally. They do take up a lot of space though.

[@ozansengul6015]

Great work, man! Found your channel today, and still going through all the videos. I was curious, though, is there any way to see all your mods? My Cities mods are mostly breaking my game in some ways, probably because of compatibility problems. Thanks in advance, keep up the great work!

Why didn't I know about you 6 months ago so I could have been lazy and didn't have to figure all of this out for myself, you make really good tutorials. But I would like to add a tip to the parking roads, you kinda sniffed on it. It works really well to place the parking spaces and then use move-it, select all in "one row" and then use the line up tool and then rotate to object and click a road and they will fit in perfectly. Then repeat that on each row of parking spaces you have built. :)

[@MrVeeBlog]

Nicely done. I am very rudimentary with creating parking spaces. This will give me more options. BTW, if you have a PC tutorial for roads that I can use to keep my buildings from having parking or driveways cars seem to drive up an invisible road to park would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

[@YUMBL]

Thank you! I agree with you about the way cars path to parking. Unfortunately there is no solution that I’m aware of. Check out any elevated parking to observe its brokeness (ie a parking garage)

It's not that I don't like parking lots. I do think that what's cool about a simulation is the opportunity to play with new ideas for designing cities in a sustainable way. The doctrinaire assertion that if you don't have miles and miles of parking your city isn't realistic simply reinforces all our current unsustainable practices.

[@YUMBL]

Parking lots are a great option in a city. Almost as great an option as eliminating them. But the real beauty is that we each get to play however we want :)

[@XDRosenheim]

As a European, this many parking lots, just hurts my eyes.

[@johnterpack3940]

I'm curious as to what happens if you lay down the filler roads without leaving space for the parking spots. Will vehicles drive everywhere, or still follow invisible lanes? I'm wanting to make warehouses and factories more realistic by having actual unloading areas behind them. These are typically just open patches of asphalt, which makes parking lot roads perfect for laying them out. It's easy enough to move the spawn points to get truck to go where I want. It's mostly a matter of what route they follow to get there.

[@potatojoe3449]

Don't know if somebody already mentioned it but there is a snapping mod for Parking Lot Roads in the workshop

[@afffenarsch1]

Why is it necessary to build so much parking, streets and cars? Will the game work too, if I would build a lot of parks (you know the green thing), and only a minimum amount of cars and parking? Instead public transport, trams, train and so on? This game looks like a lot of fun, but not with a car centered city. What do you think?

[@YUMBL]

This is just for people who WANT to build parking :)

[@afffenarsch1]

​@@YUMBL Thx for the answer. And is it even possible to succeed in the game without building infrastructure for cars? I know aou need some basic streets for public busses though.
