Hey Biffa, at the last episode of this series can you use all the mods that you usually use so we can see how much mods make a difference on traffic, beautification etc. aspect? Cheers!

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

I think we all know how much of a difference they make, that's why we usually use them all the time..

[@sala_evans]

I like this idea

[@CoronelOcioso]

Hi Biffa, man would you share the save game prior to this fix? I would really love to get my hands on it and i have a few ideas for the tram. Please, please share it on steam

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

@@CoronelOcioso Why did you reply that to this comment? o.0

[@MattR336]

Auto empty mod spoiled me a bit, got tired of stuff being full or empty until I fixed it :) The game is so much better with mods, need more New Tealand! Happy Holidays to you and your family, Biffa!

[@Riese79]

I like to See him suffer, for some reason 😆. Now imagine you have to use a Controller....

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Nooooooooooooooooooo

[@cliffweatherbee6914]

I think you should combine all of the areas where the roundabouts are into a large junction and then split them off.

[@tempprofile6715]

Traffic episodes are always the most satisfying.

[@sane9875]

Rip it up and start again Biffa!!!

[@lordzizo375]

Im not so good in building Junctions using Mods or setting Traffic Lights or Traffic Signs Highways . So if my PC would be only half way as good as ours I could send you my Citie in to Fix it you would be busy until the year ended.But sadly my PC is not so good after 100.000 Citizens my PC lacky. I always recomend a Underground Junction to fix Trafficproblems.

[@JerryChanD]

Well I was always to think Cities skyline should need a mod for applying something ULEZ or congestion charge for car user in the city make sure people not to owning a car and earning tons of our finest pound sterling as well. And by the mayor of the city, traffic problems solved and councils got their funds. 🥴

[@hquest]

Biffa: “we have a lot planned for today, we are gonna expand massively on the left hand side” Also Biffa: spends 50 minutes fixing six intersections and roundabouts 🤣

[@inyobill]

Yah, I resemble that remark. Except for me, more like 3 intersections, 2 hours.

[@Francois424]

Classic traffic fixes. Which is what brought me to Biffa's channel some 2 years ago. I love it.

[@stephenreardon2698]

And he still misses the isolated road between the removed roundabout and the ravine created in the previous earthquake

[@darcos7535]

Which could have been fixed in a few minutes if tmpe was available...

[@philipdarlington7030]

For a name for the sinkhole , how about just “The sink” So people driving by can throw teabags in the sink, at least it also would deal with trash.

[@hoganeoghan]

Instead of having two highway offramps coming from the roundabout to a 6 lane road, just connect the two highway offramps to the junction directly with no 6 lane section at all.

[@Pystro]

Or he could just have removed the stop sign where the 6-lane road met the roundabout.

[@donavanaking]

I was SCREAMING this at my screen the entire time 😭

[@dmore]

Being stuck on console vanilla, sometimes when it comes to slips roads I find if I build it initially with the basic dirt road I get a little more control. The Highway slip road automatically bends and snaps much more that the dirt road I find. Especially in tight situations like the area you were working on when the sink hole notice came in. Once I’ve built it with the dirt road I then just upgrade it to the highway ramp :)

[@TMaekler]

I think there the garbage issue has something to do with a bug in disasters. Happens every now and then after a disaster has happened. You should look that up.

[@catladylovescats2022]

Thank you for reminding me why I don't play vanilla Cities Skylines. I would add a lot more pedestrian paths and transit options. It seems like there are many personal vehicles, so adding pedestrian bridges/tunnels across the highway may help.

[@jonathanmarsh8119]

I would suggest ripping out all of that quad network highway, setup your main roads, and then redo the connections to the highway. It is over complicated and taking up a lot of space.

[@ReptilianLaserbeam]

this. thank you.

[@chaoswarriorbr]

Yeah, 4 highways is weird, seems like a California/Texas bad solution to a non problem. It doesn't even seem to have enough traffic to justify and if it did it could be likely solved by properly reengineering the flow of goods and people through cargo trains and public transport.

[@PacificNatureTV]

@@chaoswarriorbr its a texas solution. californians would just sit in the traffic and deal with it lol

[@jefffinkbonner9551]

The quad network is basically trying to prevent horky borky lane switching and weaving with the series of on and off ramps in close proximity. IRL, they're the "collector/distributor" lanes. Obviously in real life there'd be 10X the amount of traffic flow on that freeway to deal with. It's actually a really cool design, and I can definitely see what the map designer was trying to do. The problem isn't with the quad highway system at all. It's the busy 4-way intersection between huge arterial connectors right off the roundabout. It could've been an oval-about with the existing roundabout when those arterials were laid out long ago. Blaming it all on the big quad system is just looking at a complex flow and blaming all the chaos on the most complex-looking part of it even though it's the one part that's working fine.

[@Anatol_Tobler]

31:50 for that problem you are thinking: just delete the 4way road and connect the seperate oneway roads direkt to the intersection if it is possible. that wouled help to stop at the one node.

[@teekayfourtwoone4686]

41:24 I don't think that path ever got fixed. Not a big deal. 44:02 Road never got reconnected after earthquake in earlier episode.

[@bikersi9821]

Hey Biffa, what a tricky situation you have with the traffic there on vanilla. Would it be worth reviewing your public transport in that area to reduce the number of cars going through the roundabouts and clogging them up?

[@greatatlas9494]

Wow , vanilla on console,, that’s a hard mode game , extreme Hardmode

[@ZalymBiscayn]

48:45 -- Finishes tearing out the roundabout, acknowledges that the lovers of roundabouts go absolutely nuts because of it, and immediately an earthquake warning. Coincidence? Unlikely. Biffa upset the traffic gods. :)

[@jefffinkbonner9551]

LOL I noticed that too. The time-lapse of the roundabout jump cuts to a 4-way intersection with a giant ditch next to it. Hmmmm

[@Everie]

31:46 Instead of having that little piece of road, the highway roads could connect directly into the junction. I think that could work better

[@fernan7055]

In vanilla you shouldnt use stop signa as “give way” signs in roundabouts. You should just let it run as is without stop signs

[@kalelmaul7877]

I would love to see you do the Traffic Fixing Scenario that comes with the Mass Transit DLC.

[@sea75300]

Biffa, you probably should add another tram or metro line from one side off the highway to the other. At the moment it seem like there's only the one metro line from Antarcteaca city center 🤔

[@MarcusH...]

27:05 your turn-around-about could connect into the slip lane to the highway as well so that they don't have to go all the way back and then turn around again to use the slip lane

[@corey6129]

Just circle it back around so it enters on the right side so it doesn't cross over traffic and keeps it off the round about

[@09MENIM3]

Biffa! Why are you not using the priority roads vanilla feature? I am pretty sure it can make give-way rules for roundabouts?

[@ashullu]

next time you should work on public transit and walkability so your traffic will go down

[@martinclare3114]

Biffa I love this city, seeing the problems with vanilla traffic, I have started a vanilla snow map myself inspired by AntarTEAca I’m 40000 pop behind you atm but taking all the notes for future traffic problems. Thank you

[@Solus749]

road hirarcy and give people options to get around, preferably without cars and you are golden. Think of it this way 30 people in cars means 30 trips ( 15 if 2 people in a car ) = 1 trip with a bus ( 30 people ) or half of a tram ( trams hold 60 if I recall ). To many people forgot that basic rule and try to force it with traffic manager.

[@martinclare3114]

@@Solus749 Ah yes, the simple golden rule. Oh Biffa where has it gone wrong?

[@Solus749]

@@martinclare3114 trams also have tram only roads as options and if you plan for those the tram can absorb ALOT of people. Gothenburg in sweden for example have over 160 kilometers of tram track for 9 lines ALONE. That is before we calculate 20 ish buslines, 2 ferrielines ( as gothenburg is coastal with archipelago ) and a developed bike network atop of that. Several dutch cities and copenhagen ( the danish capital ) have fully intergrated bike networks that move more people per hour than a midsizes american towns 3 1/2 lane each way road do. The average speed on those roads are 13-16 kilometers per hour thanks to traffic digestion....bikers move at about 16-17 on average if decent roadcondition. Trust me the golden rule of the less forced car traffic work....and yes this include city skylines as well. Ofc exchange any of these for subway, monorail etc if those fit better for you if you got the dlc.

[@balazskuglicz614]

I tend to put a recycling center next to most of the transfer facilities, it helps collecting trash more efficiently, and in my mind it is more realistic (in a green society) having most of the garbage recycled and then the excess “unrecyclable” trash gets transported somewhere to be dealt with…

[@niklasrudde7124]

You are having trash problems, because there are buidling in your city which cant be accessed by your garbage trucks. Thoose Buildings between the to rounfdabouts where the earthquake hit are the problem. Because the garbage trucks arent able to pathfind to those buldings they instantly despawn which creates a loop, preventing other trucks to collect the garbgabe of actually accessable buldings

[@oisnowy5368]

Isn't the big issue with that whole roundabout that there are not any other roads available to access the highway? So many vehicles are heading in that direction and choking it off because they have nowhere else to go to?

[@peronohaynada]

I learned that some traffic problems could be related to when you overload an intersection. What I mean with this is that people wants to go from A to B and viceversa, but if the same intersection also handles C to D, E to F, then we have chaos. (Of course I'm simplifying the problem). The solution is to give more options and even move some entry points to a different place

[@peronohaynada]

What I mean is that you have the city divided by the highways and the only road (as far as I could see) was the one that also serviced as an entrance to the city. Basically you have the guy that wants to go shopping blocking the lady that is transporting some goods into the city :P

[@phoenafox]

Little connector roads across the highway would help with the few cross street options available now

[@TuomasLeone]

I think two well directed metor strikes and a reconstruction project would fix what ails this junction!

[@myguyTrevorSabo]

[@Anatol_Tobler]

bad timing but you can see a problem at 47:10 a little section right beside on the left bottem has no connection to the city. Poor peoples that live ther. Much better seen at 48:04

[@stevelknievel4183]

My jaw just hit the floor. You removed a roundabout!

[@MyLegion01]

i have a suggestion if you like use all the mods you have in the final chapter of the city to fix something in there ,👍

[@axelrajr]

as an idea biffa, those four rounda-a-bouts together, a good look at about 16m46s, why not delete them all and put in a massive one way ring there? a somewhat square round-a-bout? at 18m29s, could have probably just extended that one rail tunnel for the space you needed.

[@Pawcher]

Yay! Just got off my snow shift, 7am and Biffa slides into my sub box 📦 hehe

[@asbestinuS]

41:40 can you try to come with the 2 one-way streets directly into the junction? Instead of having the 3-lane-two-way-road in between? Love the video, thank you!

Without mods it’s difficult to fix.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

It’s nice you thought of us, because while Biffa takes a holiday playing and making videos, I’m going to spend a lot of my holiday watching Biffa and working on my traffic. You’re a gem, Biffa! I hope you enjoy some lovely time off. About ripping out that interchange, I say go for it. It a hot mess an I’m sure you can do better.

[@kelsean6088]

You could put a slip lane in off of the road that comes off the highway on to the round about. The road into the little industrial area by the university comes almost all the way up, just connect it.

[@spencerrhodes3915]

I've noticed that waste transfer facilities and a few incinerators for them to empty into seems to be the best combo for handling trash

[@RMJ1984]

I wish they would do a road focused dlc, where they rework all roads, we should have more control over roads and have tram, bike lane versions etc of all the sizes from 2 to 6 and add 8 lane roads as well. The road system have always felt a bit clunky imo. Imagine place your 2-4-6-8 lane road, then select another thing to then toggle / add bus, taxi, tram, or bike lanes.

[@ZalymBiscayn]

Hopefully, the devs of the sequel will have a serious sit-down about road networks.

[@jefffinkbonner9551]

Another nice feature would be to allow zoning that's set back from the road so that the buildings are connected yet there's room to eventually widen the road without having to immanent domain demolish all of them. Also, allowing some buildings to go up without a road access, especially things like metro stations that just need pedestrian access. Mixed zoning and medium density would also help a lot too.

[@ZalymBiscayn]

@@jefffinkbonner9551 Absolutely!

[@kaltaron1284]

Seems to me like roundabouts will work better in vanilla if you split the roads because you don't have access to giveway signs but only stop signs. If you have the space and traffic is heavy enough to warrant it of course.

[@Tony_Regime]

@Biffa Plays Indie Games 40:20 instead of changing the length of the 6 lane road, why not have the 2 lane motorway all the way from the roundabout straight into the junction? that would get rid of the awkward stopping where the 2 lane motorway joins the 6 lane road. you could upgrade the end of the 2 lane motorway to 3 lanes just before the junction. and you could have a 2 lane motorway straight from the junction to the roundabout

[@nitzanmedina2453]

[@vscagliusi]

wow that's tough, i'd say just rip that whole thing out and build a new more logical and aesthetic pleasing one. great job tho

[@GrimDeathCry]

adding recycling centers to some waste transfer will help it and adding 3 incinerators in 3 locations that way it your trash wont build up as much

[@onemanzu]

The questionable round about with the water tower in the middle, the one we spent the most time looking at, can you move the on ramp back on to the highway to the other side? It’d mean less traffic crowding that small little area. You wouldn’t have boulevard, on ramp, off ramp all in a tight cluster.

[@ybennehoff]

To help solve the traffic try getting rid of the connection between the roundabout and the four-way stop (used to be a roundabout). You have two parallel arterials that should be able to handle the traffic but it looks like the vanilla AI is routing the roundabout traffic to the four-way stop instead of spreading it into the neighborhood further south.

[@elektrotehnik94]

This.

[@RMJ1984]

I wonder if he has forgotten than in vanilla you can use zones to ban certain traffic like heavy traffic etc, that way you can force them to take another route.

[@paulrichards2493]

where you have those two roundabouts close to each other, turn into a oblong roundabout?

[@danielwilson6323]

As someone who only plays vanilla: traffic lights are basically only used for esthetic appeal because a free-for-all is 99% of the time going to cause less backup (unless there's a large amount of pedestrian traffic, in which case having stop lights helps separate the movements of the cars from constant crossing and can sometimes improve flow). Stop signs are only useful in a situation where there is VERY little traffic trying to enter from that direction because with any sort of volume, stop signs also cause huge backup. They can be useful though to prevent cars from immediately entering a high priority movement and disrupting the flow of traffic if that's becoming an issue at a particular junction.

[@gallendugall8913]

A wonderful thing happened last week. My town got our first roundabout. Unfortunately the people here do not understand roundabouts and so they're treating it like a four way stop with a bit in the middle. I have been trying to educate people, but they seem very opposed to learning the joys of roundabouts. It is a bitter sweet time.

Wasn't it so that the waste processing unit won't work without waste collecting. The collectors will collect but not dispose of it, the procesing unit will dispose but won't collect. Haven't played in a while myself so can't remember for sure, should say so in the building description.

[@MajorHickE]

The processing plant is supposed to collect the garbage from the collection sites, but it's only got so many trucks. I've noticed that the incineration process can't keep up with the garbage a city produces, so while its got a ton of storage capacity, your processing plants will eventually back up because they can only burn so much at once. I've had the best results by pairing them with a couple recycling centers, since those can help with trash collection and distribute some raw materials to nearby industry.

[@flepgg]

The roundabound you removed at the end was a good call, you can even remove that road coming from the other roundabound and let the traffic from that road to get deeper on their own collector if they want to cross to that side of the map/city, you are adding to many connections too close to the highway between these big city blocks/area. If you make the traffic to get out of the highway to the area collector and force them to go way deeper on that area to then cross to another big area/collector, it will work better

[@raistormrs]

[@poulernstseehusen458]

what is your favorite tea ? My is lemon or chai tea

[@edwardmiessner6502]

Hey Biffa, I'm viewing this on phone and don't have the capability to take a screenshot but I would replace the remaining roundabouts with timed traffic lights (this town is proving Yumbl right) and build direct connectors from the highway's side-roads to the airport roadway and eliminate its end roundabout. There's plenty of space to build the them in the present interchange.

[@tonyschulz3558]

The issue with the roundabout building up may be resolved by removing that tiny bit of 4 lane road and just running the roundabout connections straight from the intersection (big one closest to Borky park). It may not actually work but it’s a suggestion to help aid the flow of traffic. Vanilla Skylines sucks balls big time. Glad you’re able to stay relatively on top of it all

[@ingibjorgorsteinsdottir1468]

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

This is why I don't tend to watch vanilla serieses, it's so frustrating having to fight the game to do even the simplest things and being forced to use the "poor man's giveways" as you said 😂😂 (really The Lazy Man's give way, since using them everywhere represents we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas, but it's all the game gives you, so again like you said, welcome to vanilla..)

[@chaoswarriorbr]

Yeah, roundabouts aren't a all around solution! 🤣 Besides having 2 roundabouts on each side of the highway with a normal road connecting them definitely can cause issues. Too much traffic can be pulled then squeezed in a 60km/h road with bad access angle. Either pull all roundabouts and do proper divided highway lane distribution (implying there isn't too much traffic for few connections anyway) or rework the area with either fewer round abouts with proper highway ramps divided in and out or at least connect everyone with only fast highway ramp connections.

[@gahlster]

45:20 Nanananana stopsign, stopsign, stopsign, stopsign! 48:50 Maybe make a Jughandle? A highway 1-lane ramp that grows above(or below) the intersection. Maybe you can make the road from the roundabout a bit slower because if the Jughandle is longer but will take less time to travel the traffic would chose it before the intersection, right? Would be a lot easier in modded since then you could just forbid left turn in the intersection.

[@patrikhjorth3291]

"Goldwoman Estates" makes me think of the song "Gold Dust Woman" by Fleetwood Mac (also covered by Hole). I dunno if that's intentional though.

[@samuelsimbulan6432]

Crazy Idea... instead of 4 roundabouts managing all of the traffic, what if you build 1 giant roundabout in the underpass? Kinda like one of those roundabout highway junctions you used to make but bigger? Love the series.

[@ashlyy1341]

pure dumbells struggle, like any roundabout service interchange, when there's too high a volume of traffic. however, i think there's a parclo/dumbell hybrid that works nicely (whether it's buildable in vanilla idk) skipping the roundabout for that highway traffic would've worked if it was turning right instead of left (so bringing it out just in front of the roundabout instead of the other side of the road). also, the 4-way junction that replaced the other roundabout could have a grade-separated left turn added since most of the traffic from that direction wanted to turn left and that's what was causing the roundabout to back up

[@stephenreardon2698]

May I put in a Xmas request on behalf of the townsfolk. A tramlink from the existing network to the university arena area. A dedicated tramway over, or more realistically under, the motorway to the earthquake ravine which you were going to turn into a memorial park, then through the side streets of the newer suburbs & over the other motorway before finishing off by the Arena or the shopping centre. They'll love you for it, especially when they win. Merry Xmas & a happy New Year
