Hey Biffa, some nice little tricks you might not know yet: 1. You can move things even outside the tiles you have bought with "Move it". Would have helped in 9:38 2. When you want to delete some roads without destroying nearby houses, just keep clicking and holding the left mouse button and keep hovering over the streets you want to get rid of. Even if you hover over houses they will not be deleted! This works the other way around also. Want to delete houses without destroying the roads, press left click and hold it and hover over these houses. Roads will not be destroyed if you keep holding the left mouse button :) You are doing a great job btw. Am watching your shows since years! Keep on like that! :)

When you alternate the roads to eliminate often junctions, don't forget to put the pedestrian paths at the end of these dead-end roads that do not reach the main streets. That way even if the vehicles have to have a longer routes, pedestrians do not suffer from the path of travel.

[@realfrantheman]

I would love a complete metro overhaul, completely demolish it and start over with something super fancy and efficient :)

[@Tchelow]

People usually underestimate the power of pedestrian pathways. They can help a lot with traffic. ☺️

Cyclists seem to have unlimited range. I've spotted them routing from one side of the map to the other.

[@namelessfellow]

Yeah, no need for buses, really -- they'll happily walk to the bigger transit hubs.

[@dallasx1044]

@@namelessfellow Pretty much, although in my experience with cities sometimes Cims want to go a long ass way from a metro and they can't be assed to walk it, so buses are somewhat useful albeit inefficient in cities with good design and planning

[@greenjaydee]

5:55 - "carefully not delete any of the houses" - if you delete a piece of road and hold the mouse left click down, it'll only delete road from there. Same for paths etc. Top tip :)

The Highway bypass doesn't even need to be flattened... the bumpiness gives it a unique ride and gives your privates a fright (I know from experience of hilly roads) Ofc, its up to you, but good to have a mix and not have everything flat though

[@dondiezel]

Love how you added walking paths. please grow this city some more.

[@SiqueScarface]

To be honest: On the Eastern side, I would just have ripped out all motorways and have them set up anew, a motorway crossing and then one motorway end splitting off at a large roundabout into the city.

[@jeffrywilson7202]

I love that you've revisited these old cities and are using the lane mathematics other simple building practices you've learned to improve the city without using a lot of the mods, which would be the easy thing to do. At least I don't think you're using mods.

[@alienamzal477]

Id say this city needs an overrhaul to its full transit system, including the buses so that they can act like collectors for the metro. The trams still seem to do a good job tho Edit; someone had mentioned overhauing the metro below, I was replying to them, but decided to put this comment out here so its more likely you would see this

[@Shatterverse]

As a Chicago native, I can tell you that you absolutely want bypass highways. Chicago and is the freight hub of the US and the region gets just STUPID amounts of traffic in, out, and within, and around. It's enough that besides the city/suburbs looking like half of a orb spider web, we've got _several_ highways nearby whose primary job is to facilitate avoiding the actual city itself.

[@GodSaveTheUnitedStates]

Still not sure why you didn't just put in the freeway along the northern coast of the river. Seemed like there was a ton of space for a bypass? Either way, I'm loving watching your videos. I joined watching in the city before teaville, and can't wait to watch you fix that one!

[@pauldee1577]

It baffles me that people don't think of the possibility that traffic will simply pass through someone's city on a highway to get through to the other side. That would be the MAIN purpose of a freeway crossing a real city unless maybe it's the main city in the whole region.

[@XxMMXIIxX]

That's why I started building express toll bybasses. From one edge of the map to the other, you can travel at indefinite speeds if you pay the toll going in. No city access.

[@Stevoherve]

Hey Biffa, FYI if you use touch it on the cargo station track that you set up the one way system you can actually swap it to dual one way track for double cargo logistics.

[@lrg162]

Using underground roads running between your industrial areas and commercial areas, creating a "back door" between them can vastly improve traffic flow - particularly if you use TMPE and set restrictions on the roads - No private cars for "industrial" roads, and no trucks for "residential" roads. Checking and changing speed limits on roads can also hugely change traffic flow - cims will prefer to use a faster road, even it's "technically" longer, so you can alter traffic routes without changing road types or adding new roads. Using Bus Only roads can hugely increase city service efficiency and range, particularly if you use TMPE to set the restrictions.

[@thesheq5023]

18:50 you should make the trains two lane one way into the cargo station and use tmpe to stop them from switching. It’s rail mathematics haha

[@sangarios]

let's have some meteors, let's have some fires! bring us the armageddon, oh lord biffa!

[@regal_7877]

I'm wondering what the performance impact of TM:PE is on that city? Because it seems that you've used a lot of little lane customizations. Do you mind telling me your system specs and roughly how the performance was after fixing the traffic? just so I can gauge what TM:PE would do to my gameplay?

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Pc spec on channel about page 👍

[@oogajiggawooga]

Your metro could have gone under the water but you just need to start it deepening earlier. I usualy do the shortest lengths allowing 3 pg-downs to sink 6-9 levels down which is usually enough to go below the water

[@mv6041]

2:07 I first heard "I nice natural highway" :D

[@weirdalfan1980]

That is like the city I am doing, it has 2 highways, but it has 1 connection, I connect one via nation road 4 lane, everyone uses that to by pass one side of map to another. When I bought the squares, I make a bypass freeway over the bay and a loop to the other side, and everyone bypassed my city, my traffic cleared nicely. And make it tough the rail connection is only 2 and it goes to an abandon lumber site,

Hey Biffa, the pedestrian bridge builder mod also allows you to build a bridge over a road. You dont have to put it in manually

[@juanjodpr]

Yeah, they have the H shape. I usually use them with big long six-lane 2 ways roads without intersections on them, to help the pedestrians to cross easily from one side to the other. I do this because I don't know how to use the crossings mod, so for me the pedestrian mod is very useful for the roundabouts and the main roads just pressing CTRL + B.

[@georgigeorgiev8751]

I don't even play that game. It's so incredibly satisfying to watch things that didn't work start working again/
