To be fair he didn't need that he completely messed up that junction no one from the wee road can cross lanes if u continue to watch the video u notice that no one uses that wee junction anymore
Are those even realistic turns? I already felt how cringe-worthy those monorails were even at the beginning. This city's designer can't even use the curve and free form tools. Ugh.
What I learnt from the game and your videos. 1) Road hierarchy. 2) Build new highway to connect all industrial area. 3) Use big roads to connect industrial area and adjacent residential area. 4) Reduce short intersections. Really help the traffic flow A LOT!
4:08 - Cars are slowing down because of a stop sign, so that TMPE setting was mostly irrelevant. Same thing in the following intersection, and also in the previous on-ramp at the cloverleaf. The vanilla Priority Road setting was probably in effect.
Risto Salonen well i allways have these issues and it’s because I need to reload the map until it works. But in my case it’s mainly because my game is highly modded.... but Sam is using mods as well so might be the same issue....
Since they're put up manually, it's probably an artifact of the save game and anyone, who uses TM:PE isn't knowing this, because you never have to deal with this, if you don't set them manually.
@@MephistoDerPudel don't think they are always added manually. I had a problem recently where I did my lane management and told them not to stop but they kept doing it anyway and it turned out there was a stop sign there, which I had to remove using the vanilla tools.
That monorail network is a bit rough, the city looks good though i think this may be one of this person's beginner cities. Always stuff to learn though, thanks for going through the steps Sam
This is a great idea for a series! You’ve said that what city planners do much of the time in real life is fix problems in existing areas. This series is a great way to highlight that and to show off some of those skills!
Some of the little aspects about the roads such as the first one you worked on can be overlooked so easily it seems. It really presses on the fact of how slowly this game is meant to be played. It's like a bonsai tree. Carefully and slowly grow your city.
Make the 'City Fix' series a thing. Traffic Manager and Network extensions mods are perfectly fine (and realistic) to use. One of the things I instantly noticed is that the highways have sharp corners instead of smooth curves. It slows down traffic and looks unrealistic (see 1:12 + 8:24 + monorail 11:44) It is simple, cheap and fast to fix with the vanilla curved road tool.
Traffic Manager mod and a few different roads and intersections are all I really use. The in-game traffic manager isn't that great. It's a shame, but TM:PE gives us what Paradox/Colossal should have already had in the game.
@@OctEddie It's just a shame too when before the Industries fix, not even a single hearse or fire truck comes out of their cemeteries or fire houses because of TMPE.
Holy shit, that river is terrifying! It flows so fast and it's so big! I think this is normal by Cities Skylines standards (I do not own or play the game), but by real life standards that is an apocalyptic maelstrom of bubbling death.
I love your videos, you're an amazing artist, making beautiful cities and small districts, and I know that you don't like critiques, but you still have a lot to learn in the game mechanics. That intersection with stop signs, man... The sign you press when editing intersections just lets cars block the intersection, but they still follow the rules with traffic lights and stop signs. This technique could do more harm in some intersections if used wrong. And also it would be better to set a higher speed limit for that bridge across the highway, 4 lane road has a limit of 50, I think, while the highway is 100. You even focused your view on that car to show how slowly it goes. xDD Please don't ban me
Yeah! Awsome to see a new video, i just did my first ever video on city skylines because of you :) Really cant wait, im so excited and thanks again for your comments to keep it up and that we can all do better! You were an inspiration!!
Keep up the good work. I seem to have created the perfect 'traffic' storm trying to emulate your city by the coast. Building the downtown first and two intersecting tram and monorail lines, however a huge commercial section and attempts at pedestrian any cycles paths have created grid lock. I have a save of the beginning of the issue I will up load it to the workshop now as Kato Star Traffic Nightmare and my attempt that has failed as Kato Star Traffic Failed. Love your work.
@@SamBur all the best Sam; I've learnt traffic manager from your vids so thanks, here is my submission: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1688308459
One more thing: if you see your traffic slowing down at a sharp turn, remove the sharp turn and replace it with a more gentle curve. I think this city could have also benefited from upgrading the cloverleaf interchanges to stack interchanges. Stacks have the highest capacity because they have the gentlest curves and minimal conflicts. (They're also pretty impressive to drive through.) A turbo interchange is also very high capacity (and looks good).
More roundabouts would fix most issues. Just use MoveIt! and make them tiny 2-lanes with directions. Simple. _(And the connections should be split to have more direct traffic flow)_
Just wanted to brag a little... Started to play C:S rather recently (this spring) and I'm 99% sure that this is the exact map I first downloaded to do my own little city fix attempt. (It didn't have the monorail, but pretty much everything else looks the same so it has to be the same map.) Didn't really do anything with it though, since I wasn't even familiar with the game yet. Been messing around with a few of my own cities, testing different things etc (a not insignificant part being trying out the tips and tricks I've seen mainly in Sam's and Biffa's videos...) Anyway, yesterday I gave this city a shot, and actually managed to bring it up to 85% traffic (from 60-65).... and _strictly_ vanilla (zero mods and DLC:s) on top of that! Not bad, me! Admittedly, it took me a bit longer... 2-2½ hours, I think? But that also included fixing some other demands, setting up a metro, getting rid of those horrible cloverleafs, etc. Thanks for the lessons, Sam!
From my experience, a well built "expressway" or highway system with tons of on and off ramps greatly helps traffic flows. Probably would have taken a lot longer, but I would've changed all the cloverleaf to turbine interchanges, then I would've built a highway around the downtown areas. Like at 9:36...where you built that on/off ramp leading to the roundabout, I would've built a three-way interchange, and than built a highway around that loops around the downtown area.
2:00: use 2-big blue grid dimeter, 2-lane Roundabouts for all interchanges, solved; for only 30K population, it is very enough for it. 2. try to build your own a simple interchange rather than the built-in Cloverleaf 3. make the buffer longer(exit ramps, local connection) between highway & local road. 4. upgrade/downgrade the lanes of the road at the built-in interchange u placed, like 3-lane>2-lane when after highway entry, 2-lane>3-lane when merging
4:40 you can hit CTRL+S to quickly link all the pairs of dots. I think it only works on bits of roads without intersections such as the one at the timestamp I indicated
4:48 They slow down because of the crossing!! I recently discovered that even if there are no people crossing, cars will still slow down. Canceling the crossing option with traffic manager will fix it and will make the traffic flow better. (Btw, Even on highways where there isn't pedestrian crossing, disabling crossing with traffic manager will make cars flow better)
I use the TMPE to ban pedestrians from crossing bigger roads, then increase the speed of roads to decrease traffic buildup on rush hours (aka the Texan solution), but before that I build a pedestrian overpass and improve mass transit first.
I'm with some places in my city that had a diamond interchange, wasn't resulting so I took one of the sided and made in a bridge, ok, that helped. What is bugging me now is the fact that I have a highway interchange and for some random reason they prefer to go for a avenue which have a high density comercial and residential zone.
Balance the high density with low density. Build round abouts and transit system. Build many road connections and pedestrian walkways. This should solve traffic problems.
Nice video trust me you don't want to see my city lol my main highways are combusted and constipated.. Think when getting at 50000 pop you should build a new highway network along with the standard highway on the map.. Otherwise when using all massive garbage collection and industry etc.. Its too much to handle when entering a city or highway on the way to your city it blocks up
What would be amazing would be letting us play along! (hear me out) Yes, I understand you've put in a download to the city and we do not need to watch the video yet! But for your ratings and our will to see the content soon as it comes out and not "forget" about it it would be amazing if you would link us to your next city in this video! Give us time to play it and once you upload we can just watch, no waiting! Love the idea for this series and I'm hoping they get more challenging - but id love to have a go too! ...Then compare solutions - no waiting, no fuss. just see the video after knowing what I did. Optimistic that this would be possible *fingers crossed*
@@SamBur Seen way too many Let's Plays where someone builds a city like this. Cringey transportation networks are the one thing that will get me to stop watching a Let's Play.
pletiplot hey hey hey. He said he would fix your traffic problem he never said he wouldn’t create a traffic problem in the process lol. I never saw him connect it back lol
TMPE is the one mod everyone should have for this game. Let's be honest, the traffic in this game is amazingly bad, agents are incompetent at getting around the city, and the way cars change lanes is just plain stupid. You really do need TMPE for all the road controls it offers.
Of course he's using mods. We all do. Even Paradox are helping people and releasing videos on mods because of the impact mods have on the game. "The future is now, old man"
I have an issue with my industrial saying not enough goods to sell (boxes with webs icon). I have tried everything that people said online and still have solved the issue. I have a population of 54k and the industrial demand was so high. I ended up building 5 industrial areas (3 small, 1 medium, and 1 large). I have 3 cargo ship docks on the map, so idk why they can't sell enough goods. They aren't requesting new businesses anymore and I heard if you build too much industrial and hardly any businesses you will encounter this problem. How do you fix it with no DLC?
I think most of you saw that intersection comparison video with traffic flow counter. Is there a mod for that? I really want to stress test my city's design
As a console player, I’m pretty disappointed that you didn’t do a fully vanilla solution. Seems like cheating to just use mods to cheese it, it would be infinitely more helpful to show how to solve it with things all players will be able to apply. It’s fine to fix things with mods, but if that’s the case, please put it in the title, say something like “fixing your traffic problems with TMPE” or something, because as it stands now it is incredibly misleading for a lot of players who might click on it hoping for a vanilla fix.
IMO for population under 100k it is not necessary to put more than three lanes in one direction. How is it IRL: 1) a city with population of 58k, fits in 25 squares of C:S (scale 1:1), all streets are 2lane-2way, except four 4lane-2way streets that go all the way through the city, one roundabout at the exit, 16 bus routes and cheap taxis. 2) a city with population of 400k, fits in 81 squares of C:S (scale 1:1), the most streets are 4lane-2way, seven streets are 6lane-2way streets, five roundabouts, no trams, no metro, no monorail, 105 bus routes (including trolleybuses) and cheap taxis. Both cities have no highways inside, traffic congestions occur only during rush hours.
u can fix every intersection with 3 simple rules. 1. create a roundabout with approially many lanes 2. all incomming traffic just goes in the roundabout from the inside/middle 3. all the outflowing traffic goes out only on the outside of the roundabout... literly any problem is ez solved with this
@@Schmorgus how can you merge from outer lane to inner at Arc de Triomphe roundabout? Many stupid designers made multi-lane roundabouts and don't know how to regulate those lanes, and finally just made them traffic-light controlled; then why not making them as regular intersections at first?
@@AISPs They're not following the rules of a roundabout. And then it's not a roundabout anymore. You can't blame something that works, just because you have places with stupid people or the wrong laws. :P Your thinking is flawed.
@@Schmorgus then how do you think the rules should be? regular traffic light controlled intersections are pure and simple. Also in-game roundabouts ruclips.net/video/yITr127KZtQ/видео.html
There are way too few highway connections. Also need to get rid of all the sharp angles, especially on the highway and monorails. Sharp angles slow down traffic, smooth curves let them speed along..
You should consider building one first because increasing walkability reduces the amount of people riding cars. To be honest you don't need separate bike paths, pedestrian alleys and bridges will do since bikers can also use those paths too unless you banned them from doing so by setting it on the Policies tab. I recommend the "HK pedestrian overcrossing" asset so the pedestrians aren't soaking wet in times of rain.
In the very beginning: 1. use as few roads as possible 2. Separate industry from residential and commercial 3. balance residential, commercial and industry 4. Use the city budget to lower your electricity and water costs (dont forget to turn them back up later) 5. Plan where your future highway will cut through the city. Keep that area mostly free. (you start with a Tjunction) 6. Don't build schools, police stations, fire department until you need them. (+ use the city budget) 7. As soon as you unlock taxes, increase them to 11 or 12%
I think it’s from a mod, as I have every dlc yet no six lane asymmetrical. Despite the fact that he said he’d use “all vanilla roads”. It’s fucking annoying, these RUclipsrs who play with so many mods have come to the point when they don’t even realise what’s vanilla anymore and leave actual vanilla players scratching their heads.
Its not impossible. The mods just make it easy-mode. I play without mods and sure its alot harder to get traffic to do what you want.. but it is so much more rewarding when it works
Exactly, and the fact that the video lures you in with the generalised title that implies he’ll give a vanilla solution is incredibly annoying. If he’s gonna just solve everything by cheating with mods then put it in the title!

People really need to start using the curved road tool, especially on highways. It just makes them look better
And the Move It! mod too, just to make sure they make smooth ones.
It doesn't only look better, the flow through the corner is smoother and thus faster
People also really need to stop using the vanilla cloverleaf interchange, it’s just too poo.
If I make a road it has to be smooth, otherwise I will not make that road.

IMO for population under 100k it is not necessary to put more than three lanes in one direction.
How is it IRL:
1) a city with population of 58k, fits in 25 squares of C:S (scale 1:1), all streets are 2lane-2way, except four 4lane-2way streets that go all the way through the city, one roundabout at the exit, 16 bus routes and cheap taxis.
2) a city with population of 400k, fits in 81 squares of C:S (scale 1:1), the most streets are 4lane-2way, seven streets are 6lane-2way streets, five roundabouts, no trams, no metro, no monorail, 105 bus routes (including trolleybuses) and cheap taxis.
Both cities have no highways inside, traffic congestions occur only during rush hours.
Great series
u can fix every intersection with 3 simple rules.
1. create a roundabout with approially many lanes
2. all incomming traffic just goes in the roundabout from the inside/middle
3. all the outflowing traffic goes out only on the outside of the roundabout...
literly any problem is ez solved with this
*cries in console edition*
Roundabouts are overrated unless you carefully set up lanes using mod
Carefully? xD You just go with realism and it's easy.
Roundabouts are best way possible for traffic flow and minimize accidents.
@@Schmorgus how can you merge from outer lane to inner at Arc de Triomphe roundabout? Many stupid designers made multi-lane roundabouts and don't know how to regulate those lanes, and finally just made them traffic-light controlled; then why not making them as regular intersections at first?
@@Schmorgus also check this stuck roundabout caught by google maps www.google.com/maps/@39.9396168,116.4266871,120m/data=!3m1!1e3
@@AISPs They're not following the rules of a roundabout. And then it's not a roundabout anymore. You can't blame something that works, just because you have places with stupid people or the wrong laws. :P Your thinking is flawed.
@@Schmorgus then how do you think the rules should be? regular traffic light controlled intersections are pure and simple. Also in-game roundabouts ruclips.net/video/yITr127KZtQ/видео.html
There are way too few highway connections. Also need to get rid of all the sharp angles, especially on the highway and monorails. Sharp angles slow down traffic, smooth curves let them speed along..
What about the garbage trucks and their access ?
What is the link for your Steam account, Sam? I really have so many traffic problems and zoning problems on my city called Arlton City.
Great video!
So... my city has no pedestrian or bike networks... would that be the kind of city you'd treat?
You should consider building one first because increasing walkability reduces the amount of people riding cars. To be honest you don't need separate bike paths, pedestrian alleys and bridges will do since bikers can also use those paths too unless you banned them from doing so by setting it on the Policies tab. I recommend the "HK pedestrian overcrossing" asset so the pedestrians aren't soaking wet in times of rain.
What object are you using for the 4 lane 1 way?
Network Extensions 2 from the Steam workshop. I do recommend it.
EDIT: maybe it is part of the Mass Transit DLC as well
@@michielvoetberg4634 The one he used in the video was from the Network Extensions mod.
Can you make a video about what to do when start a new city pls?
In the very beginning:
1. use as few roads as possible
2. Separate industry from residential and commercial
3. balance residential, commercial and industry
4. Use the city budget to lower your electricity and water costs (dont forget to turn them back up later)
5. Plan where your future highway will cut through the city. Keep that area mostly free. (you start with a Tjunction)
6. Don't build schools, police stations, fire department until you need them. (+ use the city budget)
7. As soon as you unlock taxes, increase them to 11 or 12%
You should disable automatic vanilla traffic lights so cars don't lag on junctions.
I dont have the 6 lane(2+4), where can I find it ?
I think it’s from a mod, as I have every dlc yet no six lane asymmetrical. Despite the fact that he said he’d use “all vanilla roads”. It’s fucking annoying, these RUclipsrs who play with so many mods have come to the point when they don’t even realise what’s vanilla anymore and leave actual vanilla players scratching their heads.
I also sujust a main road that doesn't connect with every road
I also sujest that you fix your spelling, Nicola Tesla.
You're an amazing designer.
How about you try fixing things without using mods >_>
Because that would be kinda impossible you use these mods because they are very helpful -.-
Its not impossible. The mods just make it easy-mode. I play without mods and sure its alot harder to get traffic to do what you want.. but it is so much more rewarding when it works
@@SnipersLaww and that's when they're not hiding/making bigger problems that'll bite you later...
@@TinyAlison Watch t4rget's vids and tell me again about impossibilities
is this springdale pa?
Why do you never create public transport when doing a city fix?
In germany we have 5 highway lanes going to one lane... (near construction sites)
I drove from the Netherlands to czech republic a few years ago. We counted 21 construction sites
See the thing is he used that traffic mod but I'm on console and I cant get them so I dont know how to fix the traffic
Exactly, and the fact that the video lures you in with the generalised title that implies he’ll give a vanilla solution is incredibly annoying. If he’s gonna just solve everything by cheating with mods then put it in the title!
3:35 what is this mode?
You should turn off mods. More realistic
The real fix is to add more highway intersections. The one in the video is obviously overburdened
Could you tell me, what mod are you using? please I've got steam legal game, Thank you
I think the solution is the American one. MORE LANES!!!!
No first build more apartment complex and housing development first then 5 years later add more lanes
From what I remember 4 lane highway wasn't vanilla.....
Anyway you can do it with 3 lanes
상범김
It is, it’s from one of the DLC’s
@@jgripen969 The one he used was from the Network Extensions mod
XtremeGamer221
Alright, well you get a 4 lane highway from one of the DLC’s
