    I have indeed learnt a lot from your videos - enough to make some suggestions myself :-)
    At 20:54 you can't really get any good information about the routing (and the actual problem). I would suggest clicking on particular cars/pedestrians/cyclists to learn about their destination and possible route. After looking at some of them you might get a better picture of where the problem really comes from. - Though I suspect it's just the lack of public transport capacity to get them to the other parts of Teaport. The busses cannot make up for metro or trains.
    Another thing I noticed is about the upgraded festival area: It doesn't actually change the footprint but rather the occupied area within the footprint. So it seems to get bigger but doesn't really. I noticed that with the first upgrade a few days ago and since you seemed worried here as well, I thought it's worth pointing out.
    Anyway: Thank you very much for the entertainment and education you provide!

Fixing traffic in the game really is a process of finding the source the problem and considering ways to fix it based on what is happening. Great video!

    25:45 you could just change the ferry path to go straight in between the ferry stops so they don't to the funky elbow there.
    maybe you should also put the passenger train station in its own road set back from the main road like you have for the bus station

  • @CxRooNeYxG
    @CxRooNeYxG 4 роки тому

    Ok. 2 things.
    1. The protected bike lane stops the pedestrian from having access to the road so just put the bike lane on the opposite side of the road to the station.
    2. The small roundabout near the Cargo Train Terminal has lane connections stopping them from being able to use the roundabout correctly.
    Hopefully you read this and get to fix it. Loving the series. Keep up the great work.

    Hey Biffa.
    Few things I wanted to point out to you.
    At 19:02 you disallowed Taxis instead of Trucks for the bus lane road.
    Also, if you don't want tourists to spawn their pocket cars, there's a feature in TM:PE to disallow Pedestriants from spawning pockets cars, which might help you with traffic and force tourists to use your public transport and walk more.
    Keep up the great work! :)

  • @rodrigomachado8110
    @rodrigomachado8110 4 роки тому

    Hey Biffa, not sure if you are aware of that but it is always good to keep your bus lines out of the main busy roads. As you can see in the video, your buses are responsible for holding the traffic. A good way to avoid that is to make dedicated lanes or includes exclusive road for buses. There are some bus corridors at the workshop. I would suggest creating a corridor for the lane connecting the two bus terminals. Also, keep using car restrictions to manage your traffic. I would, for instance, use it on the road in the cargo terminal to make my trucks avoid the main roundabout and go to the road.
    And I also would love to see a Dutch quartier in your city. Maybe something with Amsterdam architecture, canals, ferries, and bikes. It could be called Amsteadam (Amsterdam), Rotteadam (Rotterdam), Tea Hague (The Hague), Teal (Tiel), or Chaischerlling (Terschelling)

    I'm not sure which mod it is, probably one of the advanced public transport ones, but it lets you turn off public transport vehicle unbunching for specific stops. I found that's really useful when you have a stop close to a junction and can't (or don't want to) move it. It stops the busses from hanging around for ages at the stop and reduces how many other cars get stuck behind them.

Had some issues with vehicles exiting and rejoining a stretch of highway, but I rechecked my lane mathematics and walla! There was the issue. It just looks weird going from two lanes to one lane back to two and then three, but it works! a four lane toll both was causing the issue and throwing my numbers off.

    I noticed over the weekend that the Picker mod sets the network mode to "force ground to follow" (down arrow with line under it). Instead of drawing overpasses it raised the ground. Since then, I make a point to change the mode to 'vanilla' (circle) after selecting the road type. Also, I learned that placing an intercity bus hub right off the highway produces actual intercity bus traffic. Apparently, they don't like to venture too far into town.
    Thank you very, very much for putting together these videos. Gradually, I'm learning something. :-)

    The northern roundabout you used for preventing trucks from crossing the street when leaving the cargo train station seems to have a "no turn" (Hugo there) restriction, so adding the road won't make it work. Try checking it out.
    You could easily implement a "left one-way" near the bus station so that buses never use the roundabout. However, simply moving the stop out of the main road (by adding a parallel mini road, as you did in some other places in your city) might have a bigger impact.

That gave me a better understanding of what was involved in each DLC, why it was important, and how it could affect my cities. Then I looked at mods and assets to address things I felt were missing. It also has allowed me to play the game for a long time and still enjoy it.

    Two things that immensely help with traffic. Underground "back door" roads that connect your industrial areas and cargo terminals to your commercial zones (use TMPE to ban private cars)
    Use "short cuts" of Bus only roads to take buses and service vehicles out of intersections (use TMPE to ban private cars)
    Also Bus lanes on roads are WAY more valuable in avoiding traffic blocking than bike lanes.

    The lane restrictions on the roundabout next to the freight station are preventing people from turning right onto the national road to get out of the area. It's forcing them to stay on the roundabout.
    Also, I would provide a highway connection from the other side of the intercity bus terminal so intercity buses have an express route to the terminal from the highway. Intercity buses always use the highway to the closest possible ramp to the intercity bus terminal. They will avoid using city streets as much as possible. That same express route might also help with the cars from the passenger train station who want to go further into the city.

    I reckon you would go about this completely differently now with everything you've learnt since. Drawing in more roads and having bus stations in those locations is just a temporary fix it feels. A redesign with a dedicated transport hub in the centre with everyone going out from it rather than taking one key route feels the better option...

    Some personal fixes for this video about how to fix the fixes.
    1) Problem is at 13:44 round - about, right side. Red line and green light forces every single car to to straight forward instead of giving those cars the option to take the newly placed road!!!
    2) Second problem is at 16:34 The arrow on the right top side , is going up, in a bus road. So cars might go on the bus road??? In reality cars that has never driven that area before tend to make that mistake. :-)
    3) 19:03 Top section, trucks are allowed, but the bottom section is not???
    4) Suggestion to fix the issue at 22:43 : Make a separate road, one way, with no protected bicycle road in which the people from the train station go to, where they all can jump in their car. This won't cause a traffic jam as it's on a separate road, one way.

    You've got some lane connectors blocking trucks from exiting that little roundabout by the cargo thing you were looking at

    1 - Great vid as always but...
    2 - I'm sure I'm.not the first to mention that you miss-clicked the traffic restrictions on the bus "cut through"
    3 - That was possibly the weirdest way to "fix" the ferrys
    4 - You don't need the "stay in lane" on traditional roundabouts, there's not many nodes anyway so it just messes things up. There's only really a point to using them if you're making turbo roundabouts (which aren't really roundabouts)
    5 - I use the "better parking" option, and that seems to stop Cims taking their car out if their pockets if it becomes a problem.

    I find that if you have traffic bunching up behind buses, you can use traffic manager to create a bus lane there and force all the other traffic onto the other lane. My buses drive pretty much entirely on bus lanes.
    Also, for the intercity bus hub, I have a bus-only direct link to the highway to keep them out of the city.

  • @iman.a.t
    @iman.a.t 4 роки тому

    I would suggest extending the road by the bus station further towards the highway slip lane. It will divert the traffic from the main roads and also can be used as an express route for the new bus route.

    Hi Biffa i have 2 tips for you, I think they should help you and your traffic :)
    You should have cars going in the "cargo station"roundabout but becouse you made with traffic manager it says no lane change and if you add any new road you need to change manually the roundabout becouse the traffic manager don't allow them to get of from the ring. This is the same problame what you have in the previus video.
    An another tip: You have 2 bus stop near the univercity you should take on out so they don't ned to do an extra circle at the "traffic of the hell" road

  • @770tim
    @770tim 4 роки тому

    you could also use timed traffic lights, I found out something cool, maybe you knew this before but if you press on a node to make it timed traffic light but you hold shift it will make it an automatic advanced timed traffic light with turns and better pedestrian. Has made my industrial and city area with the buses more manageable.

  • @scottcarriere8931
    @scottcarriere8931 4 роки тому +9

    13:44 you have them set-up so they can't turn in the round-a-bought. Strait lines through the turn? they can't turn? Lines go strait across the right side?

  • @tri99er_
    @tri99er_ 4 роки тому

    I think the road directly near your intercity bus stop could be made to just allow buses and taxis. Because you really don't need every car turning around in there and blocking buses. You can then just add a turnaround road on the sliproad you added.

  • @chancedb42

    Biffa in traffic manager there's an option that says stay in lane in roundabout, when you don't have a road coming into a node on the roundabout it puts the lane connectors at the node, which don't get removed when you later on add the road coming in to the roundabout. You've done this with the small roundabout at the cargo terminal, that's why the cargo trucks didn't turn right and continue onto the new road under the train tracks

  • @lucasgonzales4260
    @lucasgonzales4260 4 роки тому

    I'd recommend the Set of Roads for Turbo Roundabouts by BlueHawk. They have no zoning on them by default, look nice, you have options for 2, 3, and 4 lanes, and there is a 3-lane variant with bike lanes. Honestly, I don't really use anything else for my roundabouts these days.
    & You've got to watch them existing roundabouts when you're adding new roads to them. That one up by the cargo railway has lane connectors that prevent cars from turning off.

    The trafic issue could also be helped if you look at the trucks. Lots of them what to move towards the highway. There is only one highway ramp on. Maybe if you add a second one in the north.
    That could relieve the main road a bit.

  • @AppieD10
    @AppieD10 4 роки тому

    The yellow busline is now going through a large part of your city, while you can also make them use the highway, it may be longer (that's why the game chooses the other route), but also faster (because of higher speed limit) and doesn't cause as much traffic in your inner city (especially when using as much as 20 busses)

    @OldManBadly 4 роки тому

    For the round about, I think you miss the real key: where people want to go. Most of the traffic coming in wants to go straight out the other end and off to the highway. For me, the real solution on this one would be much more of an overpass / underpass to allow them to keep going in an orderly fashion without slowing down at all. The traffic circle is perhaps visually more appealing but it adds significantly to slowing down, waiting your turn, speeding up, trying to merge, when the what is really needed is nothing more than a straight through lane.

  • @JMWZ_E
    @JMWZ_E 4 роки тому

    8:25 "Let's not forget out little connection ..." - wouldn't similar connections to the other areas close to the roundabout also make sense?
    16:51 Weird little detour for the blue line. Maybe it already unwinds if you put the university bus stop on the other side of the road.
    Do you remember those slip lanes to leave the highway? Could be time to replace them with proper highway connections to exit AND enter.

  • @sedmihradska

    Hi Biffa, I really enjoy your green city build.
    However, could you maybe do an episode or two of the environmentally worst build that people still want to move in? (Oil industry, ore industry, no bikes etc.)
    It would be very interesting.
    Anyway, I always look forward to your videos, thank you for them. :-)

  • @SIG442
    @SIG442 4 роки тому

    You could try dedicated bus lanes and a separate lane for other traffic, Of course not for the entire stretch of road but just enough to give busses and other traffic the space they need. it seems to work for me.
    13:45 Already see the problem at this point. They can not take the new road because you have those lines on the roundabout stopping them from taking the exit. Take those out and it should work fine.
    16:48 Let's see if Biffa noticed the bus line issue in this shot...

    Two questions:
    1. At the spot with the train and bus stops across from each other, wouldn't it help traffic if you added a pedestrian bridge/tunnel connecting the two stations directly?
    2. Are those quay sections pedestrian-friendly? If so, why not connect them to the ped/bike paths next to them?

    16:47 you should remove the bus stop right before they turn right onto the bus lane. it'll force them to turn left, take a stop then circle back onto the same road and make a right turn then a bus stop before getting onto the main road. it's an unnecessary stop.

  • @teekayfourtwoone4686

    For the buses, in Seattle we have an underground transit tunnel that only allows public transit to go through it so they don't clog up the surface streets. Maybe some of the buses could go under the roundabout with an underground stop?
