Omg THANK YOU for telling us what the sensors look like. There is an intersection by me that whenever I stop at it, it for some reason never sets off the sensor and I’m stuck there for ages. I’ve even had drivers behind me yell at me because I apparently wasn’t far enough forward (though I was at the stop line so idk how that makes sense). I am definitely going to look for these mystical squares tomorrow. Cheers
@@461weavile If they ever set up temporary lights those can be activated by light. Flash your high beams at them at night before even coming up to the line it will start the timer for it to flip.
They are sometimes calibrated wrong or broken. They are basically big coils that generate a weak magnetic field and they need a certain change in the magnetic field to trigger a signal change. So if your vehicle is too small for the sensor to trigger (often the case for a scooter/motorbike or bicycle) it won't. You can call your local council, or whoever is in charge to change the sensitivity.
A potential solution to some of the issues with collisions on the 2nd level was to set the lights back further on the road so there was some additional time for traffic to clear the intersection.
@12:40 you can just move the lights back 1 square mate. That'd be equivalent to just adding some microtiming between them. Phasing is the same, but acceleration for 1 square gives the purples enough time to clear then.
😂 the two orange cars at 1:01:43 just driving right against each other instead of one giving way is hilarious. Just sharing the lane and somehow not messing the whole traffic up
@@aethertoast4320 I assumed that it's also common knowledge in Michigan that you drive on the left in Great Britain, among other places. Therefore, everything is "the other way around" than in countries with right-hand traffic (like the US)
Isn't he doing the roundabout the other way round? Here in the Netherlands we drive the roundabout anti-clockwise, like he did here. But we ride right hand side. It would be more logic if the Bri'ish would go clockwise.
Hi, American watcher here. I had to google what exactly a trapezium was. I guessed it was something similar to a trapezoid, but thanks for teaching me a new word RCE!
The issue with most intersections in the game is that there’s no yellow light. The lights change from green to red in an instant giving the cars no time to react, that’s why there’s so many cars running the lights.
When I went out on my scooter in nyc today, my eyes saw the traffic like this game! It’s marvelous when the hustle and bustle have flow. I think this content may have changed me forever RCE. ✌🏾❤️👾
Interestingly, we have a few "roundabouts" like this in our city, where only the opposite sides can enter at the same time, controlled by traffic lights. However, these are accompanied by even more traffic lights on the circuit itself, so when the cars get green to enter, the ones on the circuit get red to let them pass. It feels a bit ridiculous, instead of 4 lights you have 8, and on a left turn you may have to stop twice (we drive on the right).
Giga: the main difference was that directly adjacent lanes got the same phase, which spreads the green lights farther, so you got cars coming from 2 directions at the same time rather than 4, and also they already are on different lanes so they utilize the center lanes better, overall resulting in a lot less conflicts. The arrows were actually the same, it was all the traffic lights.
8:00 also works for when your buddy is following a bit behind you cause the lights not only switch sooner they also (might) stay green for a bit longer...
There was a left turn id always take to get to my old house and late at night the light of the road i was turning onto would only change to green if a car was on the sensor so i would have a tiny bit o fun getting in the wrong lane if there wasnt a car there to make the light change for the road i just got off of and make those who were behind me have to stop for no one 😂
hello matt, i know you wont see this but i want you to know that your videos are the only thing that makes me push through this hard time iam going through that would have caused me to do something with myself without your videos. thank you so much and i really love your videos especially the simulator ones
It's genuinely terrifying out here I was a delivery driver for a bit (in the US, I'm from the us) there were a lot of roundabouts in my delivery zone. The amount of times I almost got t-boned by someone flying on or stuck behind a car that came to a full stop at every entrance is crazy, I couldn't tell you because I don't know. It's more common for the person not to know how to use a roundabout than to!! It's absolute buffoonery, I have no reasons or excuses for it to be as common as it is. There are signs, there are arrows.. I learned it in drivers ed, granted not everyone goes to drivers ed but again, there are signs and arrows
thanks for helping me sleep 3 times! Not that youre boring or the video is bad, but idk i just fall asleep watching your vids lol. otherwise i stare at the ceiling
12:20 Just move the trafic lights one to the left. They then need to travel as much as the purple to the junction point, which buys the purple car slightly more time.
I love the editor's work on your videos, and I think it would be hilarious if you played Killing Room, Which would allow your editors via means of a code, to have control over the help (and harm) done to you during a run.
53:05 i think you can add additional shortcut roads for yellow and green cars to left and right incoming traffic, so they will skip whole hamburger roundabout and gain even more points. Also shortcuts can be done with zigzag, to make cars slow down less.
They've all but replaced the inductive loop sensors here in some states and swapped in cameras that use an algo to recognize traffic. If the sun is blinding it or sub par lighting it'll default to a normal timed loop sans sensors.
There's no way this was uploaded 3 Hours ago. Unless you have a twin brother or I am going absolutely insane, but I swear on my very existence I have WATCHED you play this game before and I had to stop at 3:13 because I remembered the next 15 seconds CRYSTAL CLEAR before you even said them. I'm like oh yeah I've seen this before, scroll down, and my eyes read "3 Hours ago"......excuse me no, I've seen this MONTHS ago? 😂 Did I just universe merge?
Square about you can add some roads back further to start pulling cars that need to go left so they don’t have to wait to merge on the square about. Hope that make sense
Because of Matt I constantly will see things that don’t work and will say to myself, “architect” or “what a stupid piece of architecture”. I’m ok with that but I wish my other friends would know the sensible and understandable hate for architects. 😂😂
Disclaimer, Americans DO have roundabouts and that IS what we call them, although they are all carnage and most cities are just grid disasters, but WE DO KNOW WHAT ROUNDABOUTS ARE
Im only 13 minutes in and I saw a way to do the second level better. You might figure it out later in the vid but I wanted to write it so I dont forget. Since there arent yellow lights to stop traffic early before the other light turns green then you should move the traffic light back 1 square from the intersection. Love your videos! #RightsideIStheRIGHTside
if you extended your extra lane on the squareabout and added an option to turn right or left, it’s would’ve worked as a real, 2 lane round about. edit: also what this game needs is yellow lights so cars will slow and stop just before other lights turn green instead of them going full speed up until the light is red
Hahaha, as a UK resident, the roundabouts going the wrong way was seriously messing with my brain. I was shouting at the screen! Haha. Glad you figured it out eventually.
19:29 I know most Americans have no clue what a roundabout is but if you ever go to Arizona you can go half a mile (or kilometer) without a roundabout jutting in the straightest of t junctions
i got a brain error with the roundabout, saying its left handed driving, then proceeds to make a right hand drive roundabout, ofc it blocks it up XD you need to make a lefthanded roundabout for left hand drive XD
Easy 5600 points in simplici-t if you add second road on the bottom, and even easier 20000 points in priorities if you put lights on two lane road 1 block earlier
14:49 I love that he, after saying the brits are correct, builds a right hand traffic roundabout.
I only came to the comments to see if anyone else picked up on that 😂
i keep saying that he's becoming more and more of an architect
his "hello my fellow engineers!" always makes my day
without "my"
For real it always cheers me up😂
What if I’m not an engineer tho 😔✊
Same
as an engineer, it makes me very happy

Not sure if it'll be the same where you are, but where I live, some of the sensors are in the road and some are on the lights.

Did... Did Matts Squareabout adopt RHD rotation for a LHD system?
Though so too
Yeah, I was confused as to why he decided to do that at first.
That's what we call a brainfart
Glad I wasn't the only one telling at him
Oh yes he did
A potential solution to some of the issues with collisions on the 2nd level was to set the lights back further on the road so there was some additional time for traffic to clear the intersection.
Yeah, that in theory should resolve most if not all of the collisions.
Or overlapping the red lights one tick like on the actual roads lol
or just bringing all the roads together into one intersection in the middle and then splitting back off on the other side
8:45 "you dont get any bonus for being under budget, its just about traffic flows"
Sounds like the government
I'm only 6 minutes in but I just wanted to say I love how whenever you complete a level you still try to make it even better before moving on.
The dev finally released version 1.0!
You should try it with the new traffic AI and the new levels.
@12:40 you can just move the lights back 1 square mate. That'd be equivalent to just adding some microtiming between them. Phasing is the same, but acceleration for 1 square gives the purples enough time to clear then.

Also at 1:00:15 green and orange side-by-side.
16:02 What roundabout in England flows anti-clockwise? Even as an American, I know this design is all wrong.
seriously makes me think if he even is an engineer or just an architect in disguise.
Looking for this comment while waiting for his oh-moment
I don't know about England, but in Michigan I live by a counterclockwise roundabout.
@@aethertoast4320 I assumed that it's also common knowledge in Michigan that you drive on the left in Great Britain, among other places. Therefore, everything is "the other way around" than in countries with right-hand traffic (like the US)

Yup. Some brainfarts.
In Britain we do go round clockwise, Matt just attempted to appease everyone else.
"Add more lanes!" The LA solution, I see
Hi, American watcher here. I had to google what exactly a trapezium was. I guessed it was something similar to a trapezoid, but thanks for teaching me a new word RCE!
watching you highlight the "superiority" of left-hand drive, only to immediately try to build a roundabout for right-hand drive, was painful XD
I have already seen this video! :( Which is odd, because the title does not label it as such.
It's Monday...
it get's me every time he does a mega edit. i hate that it's not properly labeled as such.
@@FabiVoltair You know when Monday is though, right?
I think cause the title said "Completes" its a complication of past videos. Threw me off too, i swore i saw these before as well heh

22:40 you should also make a bypass for turning left, essentially removing 1/3 of the trafic
or maybe its 1/4
Squarabout: ITS GOING THE WRONG WAY!

37:37 he has finally discovered the American art of just adding more lanes
I swear u have played this before
This is a compilation of every videos
On Mondays, he sometimes uploads a compilation of older vids, which is why this one is over an hour long, compared to his usual 20-30 minute ones.
Forgot it was mega edit Monday
The ‘squareabout’ going the wrong way round made my brain spazz out. 😂
Driving on the left side of the road sucks so hard that even a british civil engineer defaults to making roundabouts the right way lmao.

Could you do a 2-way roundabout? Maybe Clockwise, Counter Clockwise, Clockwise?
This is what i needed
I also make a playlist last week of this 😭😭
"the more you know" graphic had me laughing so hard

Right Hand sided Roundabout in a left hand drive environment. i like it xD

52:42 definitely a BMW driver 😂
51:55 you’ve engineered too good.
16:10 a yellow and a red car shared the road on the squares left road🤣
In my head the whole video: roundabout roundabout roundabout.... 😂😂
Forgot it's the long video 😂 perfect, no sleep needed
Thank you these types of building Road videos help put me to sleep
Tangled: "i wonder if this is gonna be a spaghetti junction"
Fun fact: there is a junction in Atlanta called Spaghetti Junction.
My girlfriend and I got mini-motorways, because you played it, but it was the wrong game 😅 This is much more relaxing
That Sensor Story will give u some extra Likes i'guess :D
Driving in the left is correct🇬🇧🇦🇺
I enjoy your videos a lot, even as an electrician for industrial engineering
Watching this makes me just want to play the game and see if my solution would have been better (or work at all) :D
saw this game on steam, immediatelly knew this video was coming
They've all but replaced the inductive loop sensors here in some states and swapped in cameras that use an algo to recognize traffic. If the sun is blinding it or sub par lighting it'll default to a normal timed loop sans sensors.
They should label the lights so it easier the differentiate
39:30 the traffic lights should move anticlockwhise, so the cars from the other line don't block the ongoing cars
On the squareabout, you should've added an outside road to connect the roads that are next to each other.
I love reruns
Brag about "correct" side of driving then proceeds to make right hand roundabout. XXD
making a merge lane for left turning cars could solve a lot of the issues. left turners stuck behind straight through cars could relieve some traffic.

I KNEW CAR SENSORS WERE REAL, MY PARENTS TOLD ME I WAS CRAZY FOR NOOOOTICING
Screams of left hand drive as the superior engineering system. Immediately engineers a right hand drive roundabout...
On priorities, I'd go 3s left, 2s bottom, 1s all-red, repeat, and the two crossings offset by 1 sec as in the high score.
Im only 13 minutes in and I saw a way to do the second level better. You might figure it out later in the vid but I wanted to write it so I dont forget. Since there arent yellow lights to stop traffic early before the other light turns green then you should move the traffic light back 1 square from the intersection.

Am I the only one who heard you say red car and blue car and immediately thought I'd the old milky way advert?
Maybe try some filter lanes for the first exit on the square-abouts?
Spam double tap the screen to rewind ten seconds at the very start and it sounds like Seth Rogan laughing
if you extended your extra lane on the squareabout and added an option to turn right or left, it’s would’ve worked as a real, 2 lane round about.
edit: also what this game needs is yellow lights so cars will slow and stop just before other lights turn green instead of them going full speed up until the light is red
10:30 I would bring the 2 bottom to top ones to the middle and make the lights of both be in sink and unable to be hit
If only I learned the traffic secret when it wasn't winter.
A bit disappointing that RCE didn’t realize that level 2 can be done with no crossovers.
w h a t
since watching RCE my first thought for any traffic problem is roundabout .... you trained your viewers well mate
so, 1st level, id love to see if you can add overlapping time for the two top, and more overall time for the bottom? I'd expect it to do better
Gotta try it too❤
Too much traffic? ADD MORE LANES! Also, MAKE LEFT TURN LANES!
Hahaha, as a UK resident, the roundabouts going the wrong way was seriously messing with my brain. I was shouting at the screen! Haha. Glad you figured it out eventually.
Dejavu i feel like iv seen this 😮
Yeah, he definitely has episodes of this from a year ago.
Dont know, when Matt played this game last time, but there was larger update and changed some maps, so.. he could do it all over again!
19:29 I know most Americans have no clue what a roundabout is but if you ever go to Arizona you can go half a mile (or kilometer) without a roundabout jutting in the straightest of t junctions
Can we get stopped driving like an architect bumper stickers?
I think putting the lights back from the junction by a square would have fixed a lot of issues.
Put the traffic lights further back from the junctions to avoid crashes.
i got a brain error with the roundabout, saying its left handed driving, then proceeds to make a right hand drive roundabout, ofc it blocks it up XD
you need to make a lefthanded roundabout for left hand drive XD

who knew dev patel was so good at traffic engineering

"Hellooo fellow engineers" 🗣️🔥
Acceleration times are quicker in game because there is no distracted drivers or hesitation to see if someone is gonna run the light.
