Traffic lights are super useful! They're like mini roundabouts that fit in places were a roundabout wouldnt fit! Also pretty good when you got like a bunch of houses merging into a single road, you can like split the houses in two groups and make them join in a junction into a single road with a traffic light, and trust me it reaaally speeds things too over each car having to wait for the other to cross.
@@stephenclark9917 It works, but the game rubber-bands now. It generates a defined amount of passengers per tick, so if you block more buildings from spawning the defined amount of passengers just spawn in an existing building, eventually leading to the point where they spawn too fast to be picked up, no matter how many houses you have connected to the network.
You really need to aggregate all the driveways onto a single cul-de-sac whenever possible. Also, those blue houses on the left were ripe for motorway-ing to speed up their access, delete a tunnel, and get a bunch of space back to reorganize the upper left quadrant entirely.
@@brucegoatly I noticed that. And he did some really bizarre things at the beginning. Like the tunnel through the mountain on the left, instead of just swapping some roads around. I don't remember the exact roads, I just know and remember that I thought he made it a lot harder on himself, it seemed to me.
You should check out cinematic mode which came with this update, it allows you to view your commuters journeys, and no changes happen when you are in cinematic mode so you don't have to panic about a house suddenly appearing at a bad place!
The developers are from NZ and also drive on the left. They've said multiple times they want to do an update where you can select your driving side but nothing yet unfortunately!
@@elsa7998 Ooh I look forward to that. Probably wouldn't make much difference, but it could also make a lot of difference and add to the challenge (or make some maps a lot easier)
I don't know that might be a map where it could be better to let the colors intermingle... in fact maybe that's what the devs are trying to force you to do, because the way everything was spawning made it very difficult to keep them separate. something else I was wondering: what if you use the motorways the same as real life, as a mass transport (all colors intermingled) to connect hubs together? I never got around to playing this one, although I did play AQR
Don’t know if this will help, but buildings don’t spawn where roads are built. Sometimes when I play I use my extra road tiles temporarily to block off areas of the map so that new buildings don’t spawn there (until I need the tiles back)
This map is a tough one, but I used the same technique I used with Mexico City; Fill the narrow pass with roads to keep it clear and line all mountain edges with roads.
Ah, but the replay value of Mini Motorways is that the more you play, the more you begin to spot the patterns of what colours spawn where. The idea is that the more you play (and fail) the more you learn, and the better you become 😁
@@alexritchie4586 Well, I find the late game more interesting. I'm also interested if I could have done better with that particular spawn order. A replay has a different one and always a super slow start.
Yeah, to sate my curiosity I looked up Cairns on a map, and it's not exactly like Mount Whitfield is in the city centre. It's barely in the city at all.
The forst blue house and shop, just takw the reds around the blue and make the blue go straight and then the yellow wouldn't have spawned their either... 😂
I think that Matt should take another look at Infinite Craft, there've been a few updates since last time. Oh and human + hard hat + wrench = engineer.
as someone from England, if I got annoyed at everyone that mispronounces or just makes up new "english" words entirely I would never be calm again. dialects exist ;)
@@Techy93 But "Cairns" is not a dialect thing. Matt literally just pronounced it wrong. And the worst thing is, he listened to the correct pronunciation and STILL did it wrong. If you go to a different country and any local tells you how to pronounce the names of their towns and cities, you don't just make up your own pronunciation for shits and giggles because "dialect". You say it how the locals say it, because that's how it's supposed to be pronounced. Americans with Melbourne are the worst, but if you dared to pronounce Arkansas or something differently, they'd lose their f-ing shit.
Saw this video. Opened my game. This level was not there and there was no update available to get this level. Bummer. I wanted to play. Seems the update is just for steam and not for Switch. Dang

Better to not even have an intersection
Roundabouts fall off lategame, while traffic lights stay consistent. They also switch intellegently, instead of operating on a cycle.
@ARandomTrout356No
I always find the game over state of "your city shut down" because one single store didn't get enough traffic so funny
I expected city riots that martial law had to be declared to stop unruly, impatient citizens
Your voice sounds diffrent today
Thought the same thing... figured he's sick. Sounds like his nose is stuffed up.
I checked twice wether I really was on his channel xD
playing upside down... XD
VERY VERY different
Yea it sounds like his nose is blocked
Remember when you could spam road pieces to stop buildings appearing in certain locations?
Still works last time I played
Played this morning. Still can.
It still works ofc. The game won’t just delete your roads.
@@stephenclark9917 It works, but the game rubber-bands now.

Matt ignoring two yellow houses and complaining he doesn't have enough yellow houses.
Architect Matt strikes again

0:11 Man I really thought finally something about Austria ffs
😅
i though it just a rule of internet, always confuse people with austria and australia
Cheers to all my Austrian Buddys 🤝🏻
Why is your voice different to do?
The developer has made a crucial mistake!!! They drive on the left-hand side in Australia 😆
true
The developers are from NZ and also drive on the left. They've said multiple times they want to do an update where you can select your driving side but nothing yet unfortunately!
@@elsa7998 Ooh I look forward to that. Probably wouldn't make much difference, but it could also make a lot of difference and add to the challenge (or make some maps a lot easier)
I found Matt through this game and its still one of my favourites! Got the whole series because of his playthroughs :D
Same here
I’m glad to know we are an unofficial club now
6:55 buddy what?
He said, better off.
I don't get what else you would be hearing.
He said what he said 😂😂😂

I never got around to playing this one, although I did play AQR
That's exactly what I was thinking, at least about the motorways intermingling. Seems like it was the only way to fix things here.
If this is Cairns, why is it right hand traffic?
As someone who grew up in Cairns that's sums up the driver's behaviour there
cairns, USA
@@DominoMinis 😂
People can't drive in Cairns anyway :P
Its tsv
4:07 jiggerypokery= a bit of muckin around with it til she's fixed
Any reason why the cars are driving on the wrong side of the road? :/ This is Australia, not America. :/
Turn your monitor upside down! 😉
@@RealCivilEngineerGaming🤬🤬
I was gonna say that too.. but ofc why didn't we think of upside down monitors. That's definitely engineering :P
@@nataliebrown1647 Because rotation doesn't change handedness... a "solution" only an architect could love.
That's diabolical. 💀
Don’t know if this will help, but buildings don’t spawn where roads are built. Sometimes when I play I use my extra road tiles temporarily to block off areas of the map so that new buildings don’t spawn there (until I need the tiles back)
1:00 lmfao upside down shopping bags
epicccc
Lol nice intro Matt 😂❤ 0:03
This map is a tough one, but I used the same technique I used with Mexico City; Fill the narrow pass with roads to keep it clear and line all mountain edges with roads.
As an Aussie, I don't know whether that intro or the pronunciation of Cairns hurts more
Still calls the location pins "upside-down shopping bags". Gotta love it.
Minimotorways is back!!!!!
10:59 that’s what she said, hahahahahah- guy from the office
When I’m feeling not good mentally I watch your videos, they usually help a lot actually, thanks RCE.
As a Cairns local I support your accent, and did anyone else notice the "completely flips" in the title as an upside down Australia reference
Not only your Australian editor will kill you, your Austrian viewers (me) will also do that.
question: is traffic in Australia left sided? if so, i find it sad they didn't do the australia map like that, would've been cool to see
@@Jaiden_DEit is right sided
wel... NOT true😉🤣
We march at dawn. Also the way he pronounced Cairns brought me physical pain
I read it as Australian viewers 😂
im so happy mini motorways are back!! ❤
Oooh I hear the voice and I sympathise as me too currently in bed watching this where I'm having to rest hope you feel better soon 😊
As an Australian, I have never once heard the term jiggery pokery as a reference for apple pie. I think you need to question your sources.
@@DangerPen Me either. It's definitely to fiddle around with a thing until it's right/fixed/the way you want.
Matt still not getting that the "upside-down shopping bags" are just map pins
Pls more infraspace. I miss you making the strongest shape from roads 😢
It's always a good day when the RCE posts, especially with me being off work with an arm injury earning no money :')
I wish this game had "go 5 minutes back" on game over.
Ah, but the replay value of Mini Motorways is that the more you play, the more you begin to spot the patterns of what colours spawn where. The idea is that the more you play (and fail) the more you learn, and the better you become 😁
@@alexritchie4586 Well, I find the late game more interesting. I'm also interested if I could have done better with that particular spawn order. A replay has a different one and always a super slow start.
do you have a new mic or is your voice bit different? (no not the intro). Sounds different. Bit deeper idk
Think I had a cold!
Jiggery-Pokery = Apple Pie?
Whoever did your google search must be related to an Architect.
There an achievement in gridroad to complete a level with a score of 0. You should do that.
You've not played Reykjavik. I got over 3000 on that map, first try. I'd be interested to see how well you do, since you are Motorway Matt.
Matt was really turning into an architect
Too many people too close together, not realistic to cairns
(I grew up there)
Yeah, to sate my curiosity I looked up Cairns on a map, and it's not exactly like Mount Whitfield is in the city centre. It's barely in the city at all.
Merry Bridgemas everyone 🎉🎉🎉
Merry Bridgemas 🎆 🌉 🎆
The forst blue house and shop, just takw the reds around the blue and make the blue go straight and then the yellow wouldn't have spawned their either... 😂
0:12 that's Austria Matt!
I bought this game because of your videos and it's pretty tough to be honest!
6:57 What did he saaaaaaaayyyy?
He is wild for saying that
He said, better off.
As a German I found you Australian accent pretty good ^^
YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ITS BACK YESSSSSS YESSSS YESSS ITS BACK MY LIFE IS COMPLETE YESSSSSSSSSS
Fresh content on a Monday? Are you okay?
Well tbf he does have normal vid for Monday once in a while
21:26
Cool, Orbital potato made a guest appearance.
Matt’s round roundabout obsession fails him 😂😂
Love you, Matt!
Cars are driving on the wrong side of the road
Matt not knowing the difference between Australia And Austria 0:13
This is a nice mega edit Monday!
this truly flipped my motorway
GG! Thta's a rather good score for a map of that difficulty!
WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD!!
😢
Yes mini motorways. HES BACK!!!
My dad asked me “why are you watching someone else’s play a game if you can play it” ☠️
I can finally play this game for three months for free with Apple arcade
This is my comfort channel
TIL that houses are a color pool. I had always assumed that each house was going to a specific business.
I think that Matt should take another look at Infinite Craft, there've been a few updates since last time. Oh and human + hard hat + wrench = engineer.
they should add right of way intersection marker. make 1 road priority and other have to slow down and stop
I am in Australia too
kinda sad tbh that the maps set in Australia uk and japan dont have the driving side changed
New content!
2:56 seperating colours
perfect placement of shops and houses
5:49 the closest you get to a very nice number
Is no one going to talk about te fact that they sow us a map of Austria instead of Australia which are 2 completely different countries 😂
I think that was the joke
Nice video on Syawrotom Inim
Also, can you put a traffic light on a roundabout?
I think the architects poisoned Matt, there is no other explanation for his voice and energy😂
GRIDROAD just got an overhaul too, just so ya know
Noone actually noticing the editor putting FREAKING AUSTRIA in at the beginning?!?
Jeeezus xD
As someone from Australia, this video makes me slightly annoyed. It's the way mat butchered all of the name of Cairns
as someone from England, if I got annoyed at everyone that mispronounces or just makes up new "english" words entirely I would never be calm again. dialects exist ;)

Do Reykjavik next pls
Did I buy this game after watching every video in the mini-motoways playlist? Yes. Yes I did.
7:26 how the f does it look like a giraffe 😂
Mini motorways: the only roadwork that doesn’t take five decades😂
I just can't find anything about apple pie when googling jiggery pokery. Am I living in a different universe than Matt?
Urban dictionary is the source!
i love the edits!
I love your editors sense of humor lol
Padie is heavily involved in this episode he chose where to put the houses and stores that's why Matt keeps saying paws paws paws
This new mic is wilddddd
Hi from Cairns! I'm Supprised to see it in a game 😂
For second I thought it was another monday video
I think he did a good job
The road work is so unrealistic as it would take 3 years to finish a single job not 1 day
3:10 or make the red road co around the blue market?
Top 0.1% of Real Civil Engineer fan here 🥳. At least this os what YT told me. 😆
2 beans went on a holiday and they both ended up in cairns
Nah, isn't carnage, is cairnsage
Liebe an den Cutter
Why are the cars driving on the right in Australia?!
I know the guys that made this game, might try and get a job there once I finish Uni
I love motorways
Probably the best Australian accent I’ve ever heard
Is the update not out yet?
Hi
10 seconds in. We need to get the boot
