    If you take the time to fiddle with those longer roads you can make them straighter, which will save you road tiles and make things less convoluted in the long run. You also had like, five intersections that needed reworked, a special tile, or both by the end there. This isn't like Mini Metro where you hold onto your special tiles until you need them. Everything needs to be running as smoothly as soon as possible to avoid little problems turning into big problems later down the line. You definitely have a mind for this, though

    Here's some tips from watching others.
    - You may want to focus highways on middle ground areas and a little less direct as stuff gets added they become less useful and will need to be moved around.
    - When connecting a Highway to a well used main road, you should add a little turn off before connecting it in case you need to add lights, A roundabout or another highway to that area later. Just better for the long run of dense neighborhoods.
    - you can actually pre plan an area by filing out the roads so certain stuff only spawns in the general area you want it to but be careful about using too many roads and run out when you need them. This is more for when you're used to it.
    - Sometimes you really need to make the visual sacrifice and just attach the neighborhood diagonally to save space and tiles.
    In this round you should have made a central left vertical highway as well as made a horizontal highway across the map from left central to upper right across the small river.
    Gg, this was fun and kinda intense to watch, don't forget to plan to add your bypasses earlier, when it gets faster, you're gonna need them.

    When I first learned to drive, roundabouts kind of scared me, I was more looking forwards to traffic lights. But now I'm almost the opposite. I always worry so much about driving to a light crossing, and then entering when it's red, because the speed's too high, and the yellow's too short. While roundabouts are SO easy to navigate.

      @@tsm688 They're pretty simple: If you're in the roundabout, you yield for no one (Unless you're changing lane) if you're trying to get into the roundabout, you yield for everyone.
      And because of their nature they're self regulating, so they don't have the same kind of congestion issue! Unless one of the exits is like, NEVER entered from, I guess.

    I just retired from the State transportation department, and I installed some of the first roundabouts in the State. It was an uphill battle to break through the resistance, but we managed and we have a fair number in the field now. Most of mine are on local streets, although there are several on larger scale roadways as well. Unfortunately too many of the older engineers do not understand the importance of the specific design features and making sure they didn't cut corners, so to speak, was a major struggle.

In Maryland, there are roundabouts everywhere. They are required as first consideration when the State installs new traffic control measures. Florida has a lot of them as well, as does Seattle. Don't confuse roundabouts with old style traffic circles, or rotaries. They are not the same.

You have to turn right with traffic and jump 2 lanes, usually one being a fast lane, within ~300m into a u-turn lane. Which the u-turn lane merges with the opposite directions fast lane. I think they figured cars are a safer, better form of speed deterrent than a roundabout 😂
