The Most Cars I've EVER seen in Cities Skylines!

[@SuperSpatman]

At 13:10, anyone that doesn't want to take the first left is stuck in the right lane. They can't move back over for any of the following junctions.

[@TheGorignak]

I noticed that too. Could be easily fixed by allowing lane change at the intersections.

[@AmazingCorn21]

That's also what I was thinking... If there's a roundabout on the other end there isn't such a big problem, but now everybody needs to take a massive detour lol

[@ahyowhatsup]

Not if the symbol from 13:05 is activated at every intersection

[@TheGorignak]

@@ahyowhatsup you are right. I didn't notice that not only did he not turn on "lane change at intersections," but he also did the force right lane to stay in right lane. Might as well turn off left turns at that point and have 2 lanes going straight.

[@Babe-vi6cv]

i kinda want a collab between biffa and rt where rt makes the worst possible city he can, and biffa tries to fix it. then rt gets to throw a meteor at it lol

[@milktar2182]

Yeah but RT is also going to curse a lot (Biffa is a child friendly channel)

[@DeisFortuna]

@@milktar2182 simple solution: Separate videos on KZbin. If they aren't in the same video, then, well, does it really matter? That way, clips from RT, where needed, can be cherry picked to not have swearing in them, and maybe it would be worth it for the stream where RT builds the city to have a family friendly version of the highlights, that just like, doesn't have any swearing clips in it.

[@CSDragon]

I think you goofed up at 13:10, there's no junctions inbetween, so people get stuck in the right lane forever

[@SeanLamb-I-Am]

There are not enough access points between the districts. It needs bridges over the highways and more ramps to connect everything.

[@ratchet1freak]

Exactly, single-entrancitis as I like to call it. Everything gets funneled into a few junctions. Fix that and you will reduce the amount of traffic on those saturated junctions immensely.

[@98dizzard]

As always

[@gwynjudd]

No it just needs more roundabouts and lane mathematics duh

[@jean-marctremblay3909]

This should be the first thing Biffa do before adjusting roundabouts and doing "lane mathematics".... it was totally obvious from the first few seconds of scrolling through the city!

[@guilhermehoescher6602]

There is something wrong in this video. With all of those problems, it's impossible for the city to grow that big. I don't whats happen before he starts the video, but something is wrong.

[@GeorgeTouliatos]

2 + 2 is 4, - 1 that's 3: quick lane maths

[@garethwilkins6744]

Quick lane maffs ='D

[@Hileeeee]

One thing that I have noticed as a recurring problem with most of these cities is that people use motorways to divide the city rather than connect it. So if someone has to drive from one district to one just the other side of the motorway from them, they have to go in the motorway rather than just driving over a bridge in a very short journey... The problem with this is that it inflates the amount of traffic going through motorway junctions, the motorways should make it easier to get from one side of the city to the other, not be necessary to travel 1 block across to get to work!

[@KX36]

Yes, this is a particularly bad city because not only do they have to take a motorway to get to another district that's only a few tiles away, but it's also a long and convoluted journey on the motorway.

[@Dappdude]

Yep I've noticed that too. On top of all you said, it makes it impossible for pedestrians to get across too, creating even more unnecessary traffic.

[@PiraticalJess]

It's as if these were submitted by Robert Moses...

[@phillcasedy2228]

10:12 Holy cow, 3 lanes filled with cars is rare, but having them stacked up like this and in 3x3 BOTH directions is a true monumental catastrophe. Shocking clemb!

[@matthewread9001]

im pretty sure it was cause the city was just gridlocked and nobody could leave the city

[@walkastray0078]

So essentially, if gamers built our road system irl, we'd have city-wide gridlocks within the hour.

[@audreyhitchens8680]

depends on the gamer. It was probably a first attempt at a city that size that resulted in that mess

[@glitzyx4x852]

A Trapdøør I need him to fix my city. The road I’m on is only a 4lane road but it’s needs to be a 6-8 lane road just for the traffic

[@Obi1kenobi10]

Walkastray007. All round a bouts. All left turns. No rights. Just long straight aways and sweeping left turns.

[@nanfredman1991]

Problems, right off the bat: Not enough non-highway paths between city regions! And really long, long blocks in the grid structure. Bless Biffa for working to get around that without re-designing the city. ETA - public transit didn't seem to be helping much at the start, and it's not a very walk/bike friendly city. Making walking/bike highways throughout will also take cars off the road. :)

[@spaceboyxyz]

Yeah seems like the whole city is built there, but then just ended improving... no used bus routes, subway system not complete, no shortcuts, not many ways to enter and leave... etc

[@neurofiedyamato8763]

This city did not need fixing. It was beautiful as is, every road was jam packed with cars. Its like a unique art display lol.

[@Brazio20]

18:00 well, why not 1 lane for straight and 2 lane for going right so you have enough lane for branching after that? Since the straight lane aren't bothered by any branching/merging in the middle maybe one lane is enough

[@thesteelrodent1796]

4:10 the best way to fix a cloverleaf is to rip it out and replace it with a stack, turbine, or similar. Cloverleafs are terrible, terrible intersections - and so is any variant of it that has onramps going straight into offramps - because entering and exiting traffic has to cross each other in the same spot. IRL cloverleafs are archaic remnants of the post WW2 era when the motorway network was heavily expanded, and they're one of the main causes for traffic jams and multi-car pileups just from the crossing streams of vehicles. Throughout Europe most of them are or already have been rebuilt to better separate the on- and off-ramps, with Italy having some of the most creative versions I've ever seen because they also add in toll boths

[@Gkkiux]

I recently experienced the vehicle limit as my second city was approaching 100k.

[@robodell7]

Next time you do one that is a long fix, maybe make the videos a series like part 1 through 3 or something. I would love to see all the changes instead of going from 8% to 67%.

[@devononair]

I notice a lot of people don't use any kind of bypasses. It's always good to think about how to get to the far side of the city without going through it, so having an elevated road over the city, or a highway through the middle can be really useful. You then set it up so it goes straight through with perhaps only off ramps, but no on ramps. That helps distribute traffic better so it's not all queuing up to enter the city.

[@thethyphoon.]

Biffa if you have a road piece without a Node, there is a way to force a node to appear by making it a junction and then deleting the side road. The node will stay where the junction was. ;)

[@sylvainprigent6234]

Nice video as usuall! From the start you can tell that the city lacks a few major roads to connect the different districts to each other. But you are good at fixing cities so you did a fairly good job. Of course if one is picky you could say that there were still a few things to improved still but it is hard to cover absolutely everything in a city that starts from that type of traffic problems! Keep it going it's a very good start the player should be able to improve from here

[@montyburnsgaming3609]

Sometimes if there are loads of pedestrians, it’ll block the cars turning right or left, blocking the intersecting road and clogging up the road it’s from. So I sometimes build walkway bridges above the intersection over busy crosswalks. And it helps a lot

I've noticed that the concept of on/off ramps for major roads is lost on most people. A real span of freeway may have 100 exists on it, yet people make their games with only one exit and entrance into a whole section of city.

@Biffa as we know you love making roundabouts ever thought about making your own intersections coming off the highway. As vanilla skyline ones are crap as you know.

[@MephistoDerPudel]

Afaik the lane-picking thing only works when going straight on. Which means, the option does basically nothing at a roundabout. But the lane-thing does work anyway. The most left straight lane is leading to the most left lane (which exits in the next node) and the other one is feeding the other ones. So you basically created a turbo-roundabout, where you pick your destination before entering.

[@Seriously_Unserious]

13:03 -- Biffa, Tisk, Tisk, Tisk - forcing traffic to go straight on after the first 2 intersection roads after that pick your lane intersection... not a mistake I'd have expected from you 😜 . Now all the other side streets after that have just been rendered 1/2 half capacity 1 way streets effectively as there's no possible way for anyone to reach the left turn lane to turn onto those streets due to no lane changing allowed beyond that first intersection. I found that setup kind of funny all things considered. Definitely shows even the best of us still make mistakes and can sometimes miss the obvious.

[@JustAnotherHo]

I just wish you put in the before ... AND after the transit additions. It's nice to see how many less cars, as that's kinda the theme of this video, but it would be nice to see how many more people are taking transit too. Great video as always.

I think that the reason you get vehicles overlapping is because the route that a car will take is mapped when the vehicle spawns, and it won't change if the road changes. So what you have is old traffic following the old route (this is also the cause of vehicles driving straight through the middle of roundabouts) overlapping with new traffic following the new routes.
