Using SEGREGATION to beat high scores in All Quiet Roads!

All Quiet Roads 4743 is a game heavily inspired by Mini Metro and Mini Motorways, developed by a single person, but brimming with addictive and fun gameplay! As I was a highway engineer for a decade, it seemed like a great game for me to try out and see how it compares to real life! This is part 3 where I use segregation to beat high scores and discover the secret of why AQR 4743 uses that number!

About All Quiet Roads 4743:
Build roads between various neighborhoods. Congested roads turn amber and then red as traffic slows down. Build more roads. Add cloverleafs, ferries, bridges, and tunnels, getting all your vehicular traffic to where it needs to go.
A vehicle trip is completed when a vehicle reaches its desired destination. Each completed trip adds to your raw score. The raw score is the count of the number of vehicle trips completed. Additionally, your All Quiet Roads score ( AQR ) updates to your current raw score only if there are no roads currently in a red warning state. Your raw score will continue accumulating but it will not become an AQR score until the moment when no roads are red. Red roads can be noisy as motorists honk their horns. All the roads are all quiet only when no roads are red.
All Quiet Roads 4743 is somewhat unique in allowing players to manage traffic on roads that turn red, just like realtime maps we use on real world roads. Red roads are dangerous, because as traffic backs up it will eventually cause neighborhoods to become jammed. When the neighborhood can no longer hold any more newly spawning vehicles the game is over.

Segregation IS the key. All the circles and triangles need to be segregated into neighborhoods (using cloverleafs), with each neighborhood going to all 5 semi-unique destinations. The more neighborhoods you make, the longer you'll last

you need to give more alternate options since everyone is going onto 1 central highway which causes problems late game

[@ejvaz13]

I wonder if halfway through the game you could delete the whole layout and redo the whole map now that you know what buildings are where. Then you could make a giant round about to divert traffic. Would also be cool if they added a city planner icon that lets you move an item like the airport or stadium to a different part of the map.

[@allquietroads4800]

I like the city planner idea. Something related, in a whole different game mode, is currently under development.

[@Number_055]

That could work. Almost like the two stages of Factorio gameplay. Your first factory is a terrible mess whose only purpose is to help you accumulate resources, and your second factory is a beautiful well oiled machine.

[@felipeitoanuatti]

Since RCE was playing the Rio level and since he mentioned that in some countries the drivers in the circulatory bit of the roundabout give way to who’s coming in, I’ll add that here in Brazil there are some roundabouts with traffic lights to regulate who gives way to whom. Obviously, this completely defeats the point of the roundabout.

[@josiasroig8622]

TODAS as rotatórias de São Luís são assim, basicamente. Quer dizer, quase todas. As que ainda ficaram estão sendo retiradas e substituídas por cruzamentos com alças de retorno mas afastadas, fora que tem uma rotatória que é em cima de um túnel e embaixo de um viaduto (mesmo assim tem um congestionamento horroroso).

[@argh523]

A lot of people call those "traffic circles", and only use "roundabout" for the free flowing kind

More priority needs to be given to the rare locations like the school, hospital and airports. Less priority should be given to circles and triangles since there all over the map.

[@aquatus1]

In all these traffic games, I have occasionally found it useful to (if the game allows) just delete all the roads and recreate everything from scratch. At that point, things like segregation and problem points suddenly become much more easy to implement (or, at least, to identify).

[@FaNT1m]

I feel like you could make good use of Ferry Terminals by making routes to unique/rare locations like the airport and stadium

[@alexpym8216]

that wouldn't work, the airport and stadiums are the most demanded buildings

[@Johnyisme]

No raise deserved!

[@Madnessnunky]

I believe the solution once you hit that unfixable congestion point is to step back and re-evaluate the network as a whole and try to redesign it from a more logical perspective. The airport and stadium were your main congestions, so having more than one route dedicated to them would have been a major step towards fixing it. All of your highways stopped working when their demand became too high, then everything else clogged up at the same time. More entrances, less intersections. In essence, it's a fractal funnel. Start with as many arms as you can from the core areas and move to slower routes as you spiderweb out. Two or three highways with minimal intersections and localized roads to "hotspots", like a square to circle road with no through lines. One dedicated cloverleaf highway to the school with one or two smaller entrances for the lower "local" demand. Using roundabouts only on local/low demand areas would help.

[@nolanryan2234]

He needs to use the damn bulldozer to delete an airport, or stadium and it will clear up as well. Didn’t even use the bulldozer

[@MichaelOnines]

@@nolanryan2234 There was only one airport and stadium on the map and you can't bulldoze unique items. There has to be a matching shape in the city to bulldoze something.

In germany we have 2 types of roundabouts, 1 where incoming people have to wait and 1 where the people in the roundabout have to wait. The second type is pretty rare tho and is probably caused by historical development and not modern planing

blitz wants war i think, he called you a real civil architect i can barely say the name

[@sneakysoviet9]

One thing I've noticed is that it seems as though roundabouts cause more problems then they solve when the majority of your traffic at a junction is turning left, rather than going straight or right. They also seem to suffer more when they have more joining roads. As some other people have pointed out, it may be better to just wipe the map clean of roads after a while and rebuild your network, to more thoroughly implement segregated traffic. For instance, the airport seems to be a unique location, meaning you want a good number of connections to it, but also no through traffic if it can be avoided. Reducing the number of junctions you have in general would also probably help, as junctions always slow down traffic flow.

[@-private8214]

14:38 great, now tom scott is gonna show up to make a video about the shortest highways

[@diegorondelli9379]

@RealCivilEngineer In italy we have some roundabout where people inside have to give way to people entering the roundabout, ant they works just fine. They are used where one major road is crossing a smaller road. In this way the majority of the traffic just go straight without give way to anybody, and how needs to turn left or right can, or join the major road, can do it thorugh the roundabout

[@eg_manifest510]

I'd make a joke of the title, but I think we've extracted all possible funniness from it by now, so I'm just gonna comment for the algorithm

[@jak3ild270]

0:19 no wait that’s still just Mini Motorways, you should have said “it’s like Mini Motorways but you have to engineer the noise away and there’s TIE fighters”

[@Dragongaga]

So in my country, roundabouts have normal traffic rules, so you have to give way to the one coming from the right, which is any car entering a roundabout (because they're counter-clockwise), but every roundabout except for one specific one in Vienna has give way signs at every entry so people tend to believe that cars inside the roundabout have the right of way, but they don't

[@ckEagle165]

Hey Matt, at 12:00 you mention how other countries have roundabouts where the people in the circle have to give way to people entering. Is that a roundabout, or is it a 'traffic circle?' Because when "roundabouts" were introduced to us here in the USA, it wasn't actually roundabouts, but traffic circles, and that's why Americans don't think roundabouts work, nor do most of us like them (I'm not one of those who don't like them FYI, I prefer them over four ways with lights).

[@Ophelios]

I love how you're using real life engineer degree stuff I don't know what they give on basic video games.

[@MrSimpsondennis]

if the people on the roundabout have to give way, it's not a roundabout, it's a rotunda

[@hanchen267]

Here’s a suggestion Turn everything into road pieces and cover the entire map with road just like what you did in mini motorways

[@BritishTrainspotting]

if every junction was a cloverleaf this could be interesting to watch, but very expensive to do

[@hanchen267]

But the cars dont slow down when they're at a junction and since they can take whatever route they want since the whole map is all roads there should be no problems

[@MrDevilsThumb]

Regarding the roundabouts. In Germany (and probably many European countries) left has to give the way to right, which means that in a simple roundabout without any traffic signs, the cars on the roundabout would have to give way to the incoming cars. However I have never seen a roundabout without traffic signs that make the incoming traffic wait. So actually I stopped looking at those signs.

[@nathanmwiinga8130]

So cool that there exists a game based on graph theory!
