This isn’t a road game, it is a development control game. Don’t block all development, just guide it. I think you should place roundabouts as soon as you get them. They do nothing while in storage and don’t help with emergency fixes due to their size requirements. Put them down as soon as you get them at potential choke points and they block development. Also run parallel roads next to each other instead of one apart so houses can’t spawn between. Make fake roundabouts using 3x3 road squares so once you get roundabouts they can fill in these spots. In the beginning congestion is ok from odd road configurations if it reduces congestion latter in the game by making it easier to build. I would call these future corridors using road bits. Road bits do nothing while in storage. So lay them out. Tear them up only when required to. Don’t hook up every house but do keep escape passages clear using road bits. Running roads along the side of rivers early on helps block development that can block bridges. And as you know, the more bridges the better! :-)

[@nicestpancake]

I fucking love the roundabouts but I am curious- Are there situations in which I should use the traffic lights? I have definitely been underutilizing them but I don't know when to use them and I don't want to have a situation that 'could have been made better if I didn't use them at all'

@@PierceCarrell yup once there's an intersection the cars will slow down regardless, so adding the traffic lights eliminates the slowing down when they have the green light

Quick tip. Each business has a one tile ring all the way around it that is a no build zone (for houses as well as businesses) so no need to block anything within a tile of a business. It's also handy for leaving one space for an emergency road if you need it. Every so often that buffer rule gets broken. A bug I'm guessing, not much you can do about it.

The map will expand quickly when you prevent space for a "Stops" to spawn. This leads to moments when you missed a newly widened area and it left enough space for a new "Stop" and you don't have enough roads to get the houses connected. So at least plan the locations you want the "Stops" to spawn by leaving the space for them to do so.

[@treymiller2275]

10:10 The story Matt is referencing isn't from a Chinese airport but rather a Japanese airport. It's called the Sanrizuka Struggle; in 1971 the Japanese government built the Tokyo Narita airport on top of existing village farmland and the land-seizure was protested by the Japanese Communist and Japanese Social Democratic parties. Five houses still exist on top of/within the airport to this day, and one still actually farms the land.
