Yeah, he actually made things worse by forcing a load of traffic in to that area for them to just turn around and come back. Hence the massive queue at the first junction coming back out :/
And usually he's such an advocate of "sometimes you improve traffic by removing lanes". That bypass caused problems on the ramp off AND the ramp on. Sometimes people get locked in and don't notice the obvious - including the experts. Remember this next time you listen to any politicians or studio executives.
31:12 Actually pedestrians can’t cross over to the other side because highway roads don’t have sidewalks...RIGHT ON a pedestrian bridge is so in need! Personally i love the nature researchers path the most, and then city park path the second
Every time in cities: skylines, me to myself: "deeeeeedicated turning lanes, you're gonna give waaaay, you can move through, you can move through, no stopping on the roundabout!" Thanks biffa, my cities have improved so much :)
I do appreciate how much I have learned about managing my own cities traffic watching your videos. Just the other day I was appreciating how much I see at the start of your traffic fixing videos. It's honestly amazing how big a city can get with despawning turned on - even with some totally wonky road networks.
I appreciate how much work just goes into these fixes. I was able to fix my very first city, iwth around 80K Pop after like 2 sessions with over 6-8 hours each. It is crazy, that the traffic tend to fill up new problem areas, as you fixed many others. So, my traffic started to rach the 80% mark, just before it started to drop down again for several times. I recon it had something to do with the limit of cars in game. But what can I say: I would say that I graduated from Hugo There Insitute for people who can't do traffic well. Thank you Biffa, for your way to explain things! It did help me a great deal!
Biffa since I started watching your video series all the traffic in my cities have been averaging between 75 and 80% and it's been well worth it using your techniques and I thank you for that and I continue watching your shows because I find them very enjoyable. Also as I said in the past you're like an artist when working and creating your own cities. Keep up the good work that you do and God bless you to you and your entire family we are a good soul man and the world needs more people like you.
Thats why so much traffic is having to go around the roundabout, through the ore area (9:45), over the small single track bridge, so they can get into the correct lane to go left onto the highway.
at 12:20 the junction coming off of the roundabout people are stuck in lanes, if you come from the roundabout you can only go north on the motorway and if you come over the flyover then you can only go south there is no option to go the other ways
One small tip I didn't notice you talk about in this video is, when giving cars multiple options to get to where their going. Increasing the speed limits of a road will entice cars to take that route over slower roads.
true. And you can force free a lane so theres room for others to turn into it on roundabouts or other roads by putting in a left turn only arrow when there's nothing to turn left into.
29:40 the blue van entering the roundabout from the left: Look kids! Big Ben! Parliament!.. Big Ben! Parliament! I just.. can't.. get.. [right]. (National Lampoon's European Vacation reference when the Griswalds are stuck on the roundabout unable to merge left.)
As someone who lives on the coast, you can always tell by someone's coastal city whether they live on the coast or not just by their city design. Anybody who lives on the coast will cringe at houses and buildings being CLOSE to the beach, never mind on it, even if it doesn't really matter in-game. Are there no tides in this city? No storms?
When I think too deeply about city skylines people: When the cars disappear and no people are to be seen what happens to them? All the cars Biffa have caused to despawn, there must be thousands of missing people!
14:17 - every single truck coming from the city is going through the industry because the exit of the overly sized roundabout has been forced for trucks to exit the left lane... That was probably the biggest issue in that industry area. You always want to be careful when forcing lanes in an intersection, because before you know it there is no extra node for them to swap lanes and then they NEED to take massive detour.
12:10 You keep doing the same mistake: People coming off the roundabout are all forced to go in one direction on the highway Just give them the possibility to choose which lane to take
Yes! He is way too in love with forcing people to stay in lanes and keeps forcing them to take exits or stay on freeways at junctions. Biffa needs to have a Hugo intervention.
@@j012410 He fixed one area later, meanwhile he ignored several other areas and all of his last few videos are filled with him overusing hugo. Watch Biffa more consistently then make that comment.
FPS Booster and regular cleaning of your road network using the Ghost Node Removal Tool is the best way to keep the load down on your CPU once you get to large cities.
The cargo train station has a lot of superfluous roads, when there is already a perfectly good square-a-bout for Cims to use to get anywhere they want to go! XD
I think City Planner Plays mentioned in the comments on his latest entry that he switched with ImperialJedi. I guess it makes sense to put the famous city fixer further towards the end in the final round.
one way i love to help traffic start moving along, is the front point of the traffic jam i will change the lane direction away from the direction the are getting stuck. this forces them to bypass and find another route. this is just temporary fix to help things move along while you try to fix areas that are affected down the line. also deleting a few cars that are in the way will help the cars behind move
Here are some traffic tipps from myself: roundabouts max 4 connections in. Never force them through choke points always give several entry and exits. When you make a road for traffic going through a populated area you can put in right turn only one way roads, they'll allow people to leave the connector without blocking it, ensure to block turning left wherever it would be possible. In city centers at traffic lights take away the zebra crossings and force them to use a pedestrian bridge or tunnel, that way cars don't have to stop. Don't put bus stops in busy areas, put them near but not on them as busses can clog your lanes completely. Don't concentrate industry. Also don't build a cargo hub/train harbor if it would mean it's the best way for all your industry to export because then they'll all go there. Always give other industrial areas more options. You can experiment with heavy traffic only roads connecting industrial and import areas with your commercial zones and then ban these trucks from the other faster regular roads. To keep commutes short build commercial and residential areas spread out and close to each other instead of having just one very busy city center. You can of course also do what real cities do and ban all cars from your shopping streets. Also design your roads to accommodate faster bicycle and pedestrian paths. Some pedestrian and bicycle paths will be the fastest way to get around and would be super busy.
I love when you ban the left turns and force them to go around the roundabout! That cuts down on a lot of traffic because everybody doesn’t have to cross over each other.
For areas with much storage you can use roads with median in order to stop the "criss crossing". Just make sure to have somewhere to turn around (e.g. roundabout).
One of the things I have learned is you can neutralize a lane in an industry area by taking the lane and removing all arrows (no turning or going straight allowed). The lane is then only used by traffic that will visit the industry- sort of like a shoulder or breakdown lane. Works great, and traffic keeps flowing. It is actually a good use of the 6 lane two way or 3 lane one way road, allowing two travel lanes and one lane dedicated to stopped trucks.
29:38 kinda love that old lady in the blue compact car coming in from the "east". Just going round and round... Isn't lane switching inside a roundabout an advantage? Looks like she's blocked by all the heavy traffic coming through. Either the roundabout is too small for three lanes or there is something horky and/or borky going on?! Love aaaall your videos Biffa!
3:25 The phase pattern on that timed signal seems backwards. Usually you want the leading left to allow all the right turners to finish up instead of them leading. I know you're not in the business of creating interchanges or signal patterns, but that's something seen in many areas that use that three phase setup.
Where are all the pedestrians and cyclists? Nowhere because there are highways crisscrossing everywhere and highway roundabouts breaking up connections for everyone. LET PEOPLE WALK. First, build out all the pedestrian and bike infrastructure, and only then worry about cars and transit. Just because cars are big and noticeable, it doesn't mean that they're the biggest problem. The lack of alternatives is.
At 7:24 that bridge on the right is absolutely gagging for a motorway-style roundabout junction or just a slip road so some of the traffic can bypass making three right turns via that super-busy roundabout that was causing you headaches the whole way through this video.
I noticed that you can use the speed limit to trick the AI of the veicols not to use certain roads as a cut trough, and if you limit the speed in the roundabout you can increase the car flow, I know is counter intuitive, but it works.
I have some problems with language as I'm not an English speaker....can anybody explain to me what does "despawning" means and how this affects the traffic? I quit not understand what this is doing to the vehicles. Thanks!
Four months late, but "spawning" or "to spawn" something in a video game is when something is created (example: vehicles in Cities Skylines). "Despawning" or "to despawn" something is to remove something in a game. In this case, with despawning vehicles can randomly be deleted especially if there is traffic jams. With despawning turned off vehicles can't disappear so you get bigger realistic traffic jams.
@@missunnaturally just to add to this, with the real time mod you get more traffic at specific times (start and end of work, football games) and less at other times (middle of the night for example). for people who enjoy the traffic side of things.
Hi Biffa. I liked what you did on restricting the left turn on some of the busy roads so they had to go to the nearby roundabout. Those conflicting movements are the ones that affect traffic in real life. Admiring your work! Regards
At 29:30 you have the lane changing restrictions so strict that cars have to do an extra full circle around the roundabout just to go straight. You should go and fix that ASAP!
I remember doing that playing sim city on the Super Nintendo as a kid. Fixing up cities is so satisfying even today, and now I can just watch Biffa do it when I don’t have the mental energy to do it myself lol
So calming and satisfying to see you play , build and fix cities.. you ever thought about creating a series on Transport Fever 2?? Would really love to see your creativity on that 🙂🙂
I only just started playing this again, after four years away, and I know you are 'The Expert' when it comes to these kinds of problems, but if you don't mind me saying so, I think maybe you've become so dependent on your traffic manager that you have forgotten some of the basics. The last two videos I saw very simple road-fixes (add an extra access road) that would have solved a problem way simpler than all your intersection tweaks. In both cases, the builder had traffic doing these wasteful loops around everything. Also, classic mistake - leaving one one or two ways in and out of the city via highways. I use LOTS of ramps, so trucks don't get bottle-necked going through one spot. They jump-off the highway at the most convenient point.
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines Don't get me wrong, I've found your 'traffic mathematics' videos invaluable. That why I subscribed just before the above message. And I DO get that you are just trying to 'repair' someone else's city, but in some of these, the 'spaghetti monster' is just too out-of-control. Cheers.
Can you have a look at my city, it's called Crawley and based in the south of the UK, has a number of really bad roundabouts which I think you could work wonders with! haha
I think he has a form to ask if you want your city fixed. I’m not sure where it is tho. Maybe in his channels about section or in the description of the video. I can’t be bothered to checl
@@Harlz2807 I was being silly, Crawley is a real place in the South UK which has some really bad roundabouts that I sometimes worry about if I will survive going round lol
If using highway roads for roundabouts, reduce the speed limit on them to match the roads coming on, or be slightly lower. Gives traffic coming on more time to get on.
Get rid of the roundabout bypass lane at the start and could have saved ten mins, also near cargo hub road network was too confused should have took all roads out and started again. Good old biffa loves a hugo there and dedicated turning lane :-)
I think that sometimes in a roundabout there should be 2 turning lanes and 1/2 straight lane rather than 1 turning lane and 2 straight lanes when 6(3-3)lane roads (or similar) are being connected in a roundabout.
I got a neat idea of a video I'd like you to do. It would seam like common sense "why not have all roads 6 lanes and you would never have traffic?" A video showing a sample city with 6 lanes roads everywhere with massive traffic. Then going through and doing your magic and showing how proper 2 Lane roads fixes the problem. I swear city planners should be required to be experts in this game to graduate.
11:50 Interesting 2+1 should be 3, yet the road used is a 2 lane road and neither of the oncoming traffic can switch to the exit they wish. They are pretty much forced to stick to where they are. I personally would have upgraded that to a 3 lane and the one below it as well. This to make sure traffic would flow a but better and a bit faster. Even better, I would have completely redone that mess as it makes no sense. Too many roads, not a single one really doing what it should be doing ending up becoming a pain.

No, especially if you have a large amount of traffic already inside the rotary; you want that bypass so you don't end up with polar gridlock.

For areas with much storage you can use roads with median in order to stop the "criss crossing". Just make sure to have somewhere to turn around (e.g. roundabout).
Well at least this video didn't start with the city on fire. Also, can you give us a nod to which music you use in your videos.
This public transport usage is really bad. 4000 per week in a 300,000 people city. This is about 2%. Should be at least 10%
One of the things I have learned is you can neutralize a lane in an industry area by taking the lane and removing all arrows (no turning or going straight allowed).

Always pleasing to see traffic in the industry area magically disappear.
Nice fix ☺️
lol XD 29:40 the little blue car keeps going round and round :D
Biffa's fixes really got him in a spin XD
Follow the blue car 29:41
Yep
If we all follow the blue car that's gonna be one very busy roundabout very soon :D
Anyone else make rushed cities so the traffic is bad so they can fix it? Just me?
Also great video as always :)
I remember doing that playing sim city on the Super Nintendo as a kid. Fixing up cities is so satisfying even today, and now I can just watch Biffa do it when I don’t have the mental energy to do it myself lol
I don't need to rush my cities to get to fix my cities :D
me... wants to send in a city at some point to see it getting fixed...
also me... plays in hard mode always fixing if it gets below 80% ... -.-"
Use your skills for evil, and create an unfixable mess of spaghetti junctions to drive him mad. Punintended
Could send in a city as a feature request?
Or if your trains get out of whack.
Or if you want a certain area detailed!
@@GoodFunIndustries my trains are never out of whack, trains are my speciality ;)
@@raistormrs Heck yes! Just in game, or out as well?
@@GoodFunIndustries just in this game. but there have to be a lot of enthusiasts judging by all the train stuff in the workshop :)
Biffa's cit planning course should be taught in unis.
That's the same map as Teaport, isn't it?
Yes it is!
So calming and satisfying to see you play , build and fix cities.. you ever thought about creating a series on Transport Fever 2?? Would really love to see your creativity on that 🙂🙂
Pizza and biffa? Great lunchtime
I only just started playing this again, after four years away, and I know you are 'The Expert' when it comes to these kinds of problems, but if you don't mind me saying so, I think maybe you've become so dependent on your traffic manager that you have forgotten some of the basics. The last two videos I saw very simple road-fixes (add an extra access road) that would have solved a problem way simpler than all your intersection tweaks. In both cases, the builder had traffic doing these wasteful loops around everything. Also, classic mistake - leaving one one or two ways in and out of the city via highways. I use LOTS of ramps, so trucks don't get bottle-necked going through one spot. They jump-off the highway at the most convenient point.
I try and do different things in each video to keep things fresh 👍
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines Don't get me wrong, I've found your 'traffic mathematics' videos invaluable. That why I subscribed just before the above message. And I DO get that you are just trying to 'repair' someone else's city, but in some of these, the 'spaghetti monster' is just too out-of-control. Cheers.
I dont play or own the game, but i do enjoy listening to you fixing peoples cities
29:32 the blue truck takes a 360 to get over the roundabout.. and the blue car afterwards needs a 720 :D
I appreciate the concluding remarks that you made at the end during the cinematic‘s.
I bet this city has a port that imports tea.
Its the same map as teaport so, it must have that
No ports at all :’( its blasphemy
Can you have a look at my city, it's called Crawley and based in the south of the UK, has a number of really bad roundabouts which I think you could work wonders with! haha
I think he has a form to ask if you want your city fixed. I’m not sure where it is tho. Maybe in his channels about section or in the description of the video. I can’t be bothered to checl
@@Harlz2807 I was being silly, Crawley is a real place in the South UK which has some really bad roundabouts that I sometimes worry about if I will survive going round lol
Say what you want, but Biffas videos are quite therapeutic to watch and risten too whdle making dinner.
29:40 That blue car just drove around the roundabout twice!
If using highway roads for roundabouts, reduce the speed limit on them to match the roads coming on, or be slightly lower. Gives traffic coming on more time to get on.
Get rid of the roundabout bypass lane at the start and could have saved ten mins, also near cargo hub road network was too confused should have took all roads out and started again. Good old biffa loves a hugo there and dedicated turning lane :-)

Can you do a Fix my City with Real cities? Do it so we can see what could be improved in our cities!!!
Yeah, especially Aarhus highway in Denmark.
I think that sometimes in a roundabout there should be 2 turning lanes and 1/2 straight lane rather than 1 turning lane and 2 straight lanes when 6(3-3)lane roads (or similar) are being connected in a roundabout.
I got a neat idea of a video I'd like you to do.
It would seam like common sense "why not have all roads 6 lanes and you would never have traffic?"
A video showing a sample city with 6 lanes roads everywhere with massive traffic. Then going through and doing your magic and showing how proper 2 Lane roads fixes the problem.
I swear city planners should be required to be experts in this game to graduate.
12:07 Can you delete the roundabout bypass lane? Seems to create two unnecessary junctions (diverge and merge)
29:41 the blue car that doesn't want to leave the roundabout!
28:40 .... that sounds like the start of Money Magic!
Whenever i see junctions on two or more joining fast roads, i think elevated roundabout or flyover.
Hey biffa! Nice video! For some reason yt waited 5 month to show it in my feed!
You did a great job with this fix! One day I'll own all dlc and try it my own way!
11:50 Interesting 2+1 should be 3, yet the road used is a 2 lane road and neither of the oncoming traffic can switch to the exit they wish. They are pretty much forced to stick to where they are. I personally would have upgraded that to a 3 lane and the one below it as well. This to make sure traffic would flow a but better and a bit faster.
Even better, I would have completely redone that mess as it makes no sense. Too many roads, not a single one really doing what it should be doing ending up becoming a pain.
Imagine a face off between biffa and Josh from let's game it out where Biffa tries to fix a city and Josh tries to destroy it
IMPECCABLE TIMING! Online school just got over!
29:40 around, around we go . Where we spot no ones knows , but mommy I am getting car sick 😂🤣😂🤣
