0:10 now that is a tourist if I've ever seen one. 12:14 Combining the crossing with the underground pathway could have been cool. Not sure how realistic it is but after you placed a second path I would certainly just connect them underground. Love how the new estate turned out. Still no shops or watering holes though. I'm a bit torn whether I'd prefer the roofs to be the same hight or not.

[@sssdddkkksss]

Because the motorway is in a ditch, you should make a very very small section of it a tunnel, and have a green overpass that connects the two sides.

[@rhodridavies9426]

Hey Biffa. The new area only has one entrance to it. This would be a safety concern. I would suggest adding a second connection to the collector.

[@mies1mies]

please can you build a erea for recidential were you only place the zone and not thuse the buildings your self .( thus let the game disite witch buildings to build from all the british buildings you have)

[@Illkiron]

I love the UK series! Just one suggestion: the ped paths between the blocks are never going to get used because they don't connect anything.

[@Valthalin]

The obvious solution to much of the traffic problems is to have a road(s) connecting the main areas on one side of the highway to the other side that is NOT also serving as highway access. That dual purpose is a nightmare for those trying to enter or exit the highway. You see this especially in larger cities all the time. I do this in my cities as a matter of course and can actually avoid mass transit use until around 75k population or there about in a typical build. (I do use bike lanes and plenty of pedestrian/cycle access however, and cargo terminals for the Industry DLCs)

[@e1123581321345589144]

23:21 I've noticed that myself in some of my games, they don't want to grow until there's other buildings nearby. I'm guessing it's a land value thing, but never took the time to look into it. Adding a park usually triggers the growth for me.

[@marchutch]

Hey Biffa. Thanks for cheering me up all the way through lockdown and beyond. Have a cup of tea (a pint??!?) 😱 on me fella. All the best.

[@nicktrains2234]

For the interchange, two roundabouts would be more realistic than lights and a junction

[@steveghawtin]

The mix of types of estates fits because the city would have expanded field by field. The land owners would have sold off each field to a developer who would have filled that field. Then a year or so later sold the field next to it to a different developer and so on.

[@benilt1]

I think you should add buses to go to the area, or even the metro

[@donnamorrell1895]

Wow, the new little estate reminds me of a "Gated Community" loving the look, fits great with the rest of city, Always look forward to seeing another episode of "Blightea on the Wold", thanks Biffa for another entertaining and inspirational video.

[@Beachdudeca]

I plan my highway & rail lines 1st . It’s easier to plan how to move vehicles, passenger & freight trains , and then determine the location of utilities and the various districts

I'd like to see a estate where its a real mix of different house types also throwing the odd different one in the existing estates would look good too

[@shaunsworld430]

Great video as always, love the terrace houses you used in the new abbey estate! I just really can’t think of anywhere with that style house that would have the road going along the back/between those style houses ??? Also the back gardens would be 50~100% bigger then they are at the moment

[@BryanFritchie]

I don't know about in the UK, but in the US you'd never have a neighborhood with only one road going in and out. If something ever happened to block it, everybody's trapped.

[@brendotheoffendo]

"Pretty bad to end the highway" Tell that to those who built nearly every Freeway,Motorway in New South Wales. The F1 Freeway came out onto a main highway Pennant Hills Road, it is now the M1 Motorway and has a tunnel extension. The same entry/exit remains. The M2 comes out onto a main highway Winsdor Road which now connects to the end of the M7 Motorway loop. Same entry,exit remains. The F4, once ended on a main highway The Great Western Highway./at Prospect. Entry/Exit is now occupied by RMS and Freeway was extended into Parramatta and became the M4 Motorway. It ended on a main highway. The Great Western Highway, Parramatta Road. The same entry/exit still remain. It has now been extended with tunnels and links to connect up with Sydney's other Motorways. I think there is only one Freeway left in Sydney. The F3. The rest have become tolled Motorways.

[@frenchfriar]

Biffa, all that talk about setting out pubs and shops so you wouldn't forget to put them out and then...you don't put them out! All those lovely new homes need a local pub nearby.

[@aijacha]

23:11 wait a minute! Is this one of those new pedestrian roads? 🤔 That looks so cool! (Ooh, I guess not, but it kinda looks like)

[@Pystro]

It's called bike and pedestrian path or something like that. Has been around for quite a while.

[@lajawi.]

Could you try and make a diamond highway intersection in your world? They look great!

[@lordrork5884]

To me, the motorway junction near the newest estate should be a sausage-about (grade-separated junction?), not the current give way setup. Give way junctions seem fine for low traffic volume, but for a major junction like that, it feels like the wrong choice.

[@white-dragon4424]

5:37 I'd build roundabouts on either side of that overpass rather than have traffic lights.

[@Elistone]

The motorway seems to be very sloped towards the end of it. Fixing the slopes over there would help some of the uneven terrain

pffft in the UK telling pedestrians you can't cross over a road junction you'll still get people doing it. Also would be good to see some road signs at the larger roundabouts to tell you whats at the end of each exit.

[@memediatek]

Buildings will grow when there is a reason too in an area. I usually place a school or metro to start it

[@stanisawwardak558]

I think next update should be electricity. Like you would have different voltage lines and stations in between. You would have to plan your grid efficiently. I'm not a big fan of electricity magically jumping from house to house over half of the city and I think it would be a cool addition to the game. Love you videos and looking forward to third episode of the new series.

[@richardboult2187]

I spotted a mod somewhere that automatically adds electricity connection with every road. Saves putting temporary power lines.

[@NerdyNanaSimulations]

if you had fixed the commercial demand and added in some parks and services first the demand for residential probably would have gone up... just saying. Great video, blessings.

That “small” roundabout is actually huge when you compare it to the motorway junction. I think it would be much smaller, like the kind where you barely turn, and it’s just a white lump on paint in the middle! Also I’ve noticed when you’re doing your housing estates, you never put in any corner shops. I feel like at least one of those corner houses would be a wee corner shop for the milk and papers!

If you think about those roundabouts, they're basically just a give way on some roads, especially when there's a road going straight.

Given you seem to be putting all the housing estates south of the motorway, you should balance it out with more small (little) isolated cottage villages in the north. You know, church, cricket pitch, duck pond and one big pub. At the moment you only have one.

[@paulknight5018]

The new DLC when it arrives (any idea when?) will be perfect to go back and redo the roads in the Medieval section, also proper no pedestrian high streets! An area like this could have parking in one area and walking paths to houses only as that is fairly common on some estates.

[@magicalmac7505]

Love these new buildings but I don't think these people would want to live in a ditch. Realistically there would be a lot of flooding and swamping in this new area, as well as people complaining about having a large hill / wall, making them feel like they're stuck in a place like Wayward Pines, as the view from their front yard. As much as I love how much you've respected the topography in this build, I think a a good bit of terraforming is needed for the highway, the through road, and/or the land in the neighborhoods. Or you could change the roads to bridges

[@Sam_888]

"Is this New Tealand?" cracked me up way more than it should have

I wonder if it would be more efficient to have the 2 roads alongside the Wold as one ways, so when they meet your 2 perpendicular big roads it would be like a parclo interchange

You can still make the connection function as a Parclo. Or even as a full cloverleaf, if you restrict the turns off and onto the ramps to only the closest lanes of the canal roads.

[@gurge4420]

23:30 That's because houses move in quicker where there are other buildings close to them. They didn't move in at first, because you had no other buildings in the area.

[@MattyAdamCarver]

Just a couple of British suggestions from a seaside dwelling Englishman... 1) fish&chip shops. 2) a theme park or fair. 3) a caravan/lodge site for holidays. 4) I know you haven’t got any mass water yet, but maybe a lakeside leisure area, or even a beachfront/seaside. What could be more British than a bucket and spade! 5) a couple more supermarkets! My town isn’t the biggest and we have an Asda, Tesco, Lidl, 2 Morrison’s, 2 Aldi’s. All your content is good, but I am loving the British build style! So many of the estates you build remind me of my very own hometown and all it’s different areas/styles. Keep up the awesome work!
