      @@jester.Gaming hello bro. I noticed something weird with vanilla cities skylines. If you build a city with only 4 lanes and 2 lanes with tight grid, it is actually better for the traffic. I have 50k pops with 81% traffic going, the only red segments are on the highway exit...
      I also use trams here and there so they does not interfere with the traffic, and it works sooooo good. Does not look aesthetic, though, it looks like san fran with bigger roads here and there loool

      Yes it traffic totally depends on roads and if you are using your roads correctly you can get 90+ percent of traffic flow. I have arou d 80thousand citizens and my traffic flow is 93 percent sometimes 95. It all depends on roads and public transport.

    • @Seriously_Unserious
      @Seriously_Unserious 3 года назад +13

      @@taimoorshah8230 Good points, however the game's auto generated lane arrows usually tend to be wonky and confuse the traffic routing AI, leading to silly things like a 3 lane road with all the traffic jammed up into a single lane that has arrows going in all directions and the other 2 lanes being ignored by the traffic, causing backups and traffic jams that should not occur if the traffic were behaving normally. TMPE allows us to take control of that and make sure the lane arrows are serving their proper functions and that the traffic can work it out and use all lanes. A 6 lane arterial road only works if the traffic actually is aware it's a 6 lane road and uses all 6 lanes. Otherwise you can end up in a candidate for a Biffa traffic fix video just from the bad lane arrows and unused lanes that triggers.

      If you loved a game definitely you will do everything you can think of within that game for a long time without ever getting bored :D
      I've also been like that for a long time with Skyrim (since release), RF Online (since 2007), DoTA2 (since dota 1 still has only 30 heroes), The Sims 4 (since Sims 1), and Stronghold Crusader (since 2004). And C:S will also definitely going to be on my longtime favorite list. Started playing this game since Q3 2018 after spending half a year watching YT videos related to C:S, and finally decided to buy the game with all of its DLCs since last year (yes, I've tried out the pirated version for 2 whole years before buying).
      Edit : I've got another game to be added to my list of All-time favorites, it's the recently being awarded as "Best Game You Suck At" in Steam, aka Nioh 2 😂💀 That game, so hard yet so addicting.

    This is a great tutorial. I imagine the junctions off of the arterial road would be even less blocked up where you could have the arterial road snaking around the downtown to then feed into different areas. In the tutorial all traffic had to go through those those 3 junctions and so traffic had to still go through there to get to the furthest end of the down town

      @jester.Gaming  3 года назад +3

      hey davefunk, thanks for the feedback and leaving a comment!

    • @jester.Gaming
      @jester.Gaming  3 года назад

      That is odd.... I find parks to be very helpful for increasing land value! The land value is also increased by service coverage (emergency, schools, garbage, death care, etc..) and decreased by pollution and lack of services. If your traffic isn't very good your service workers may not be able to reach some building. I hope this helps!

      Hi Erik, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and some advice! That's a good idea. It sounds like a combination of road hierarchy and the industrial layout that I have in a previous video that uses directional traffic to keep the traffic flowing. I might have to explore this in another video when we expand to another area.

    Great tutorial for those that need help, no doubt !
    However, you seem to rely heavely on principal arterials (arterials that meet highway(s) with service or system - like interchanges ), and you did 0 standard arterial (arterial that doesn't meet highway(s), just goes under or over).
    Looking from 16:02 , you have an arterial that just loops around to connect 2 neighboring interchanges. There are missed opportunities to create a diagoanal connection toward the top right between the 2 principal arterials, and having, on the left, the arterial from the interchange go towards " north ", while horizontal one goes " west "
    Either way, that's probably intentionnal and by design anyway that you did this. So, the end result still counts as good !
