I love how cars break the rules, just like in real life. It would be awesome if you could unlock new technology such as Bus Lane cameras to stop traffic breaking rules
The cool thing would be learning methods how to organically stop and/or punish drivers who break the rules. I propose cameras of all kinds, but my original idea was speedometer cameras in residential junctions and highway intersections.
Seeing a ton of people standing at an intersection unable to cross just makes me think of that scene from A Bug's Life where they all panicked because nobody knows how to walk around an obstacle. lmao.
@@leonardochapman4736 I was on a bus that jumped the curve at every round about because it wasn’t designed properly to fit vehicles. This was in Rotterdam and neighboring cities.
Vehicle grid lock, fine. People grid lock is a failure. People would just walk around the stuck cars. I'm working on the New Tealand map in CS1 and loving it. Just not a fan of all of the problems in CS2, you're a more patient man than I Biffa....lol.
That seems a bit op. Realistically, the camera should put the speeding resident on a wanted list. That way, if a police sees that resident driving, they get pulled over and fined.
The City of Chicago earns millions of dollars a year from Automated Speed and Red Light cameras. The City also likes to double or triple the fine if someone is late paying. And they will aggressive seek your car for towing if you have three very late tickets. It's a cash cow.
I’m so glad you have highlighted how annoying it is when cars and trucks use bus lanes, in real life I’m sure the stats are something like 1 in 1000 break the rules, wish they would just change the likely hood of people breaking the rules…
33:04 All those cars are going down that way to turn around to get onto the ring road junction near by because they can't turn left to go either direction. It's the same reason your bus line has to cross the bridge and go around the roundabout to get onto the ring road.
Your "Lane Mathematics" was an inspired discovery but I wonder that you might need to evolve a new idea to combat traffic. Driving home on the 401 in Southern Ontario, it struck me that the key to smooth traffic is stopping drivers chopping and changing between lanes. Try not to throw extra lanes at the problem but instead concentrate on making drivers change lanes as few times as possible. You can just call it what it aspires to be: "Laminar Flow". This also involves (as roads become more busy) removing buildings at or near junctions. Put parks down instead or gardens to drive up value and reduce pollution.
Yes it helps but sadly thats a driver education thing and getting people to realize that swapping to the lane marginallly faster does nothing but slow traffic down. Also your car speed isn't on and off that you can glide without breaking and feather/press the pedal for different speeds Remember an old military saying: slow is smooth smooth is fast
If we're being completely honest here, the biggest issue with Southern Ontario highways is the fact that every possible destination is a congested mess keeping everyone on the highways way longer than they should be. The actual solution would be to get more private cars off the roads, but I'm not naive enough to think that's ever going to happen, since the public transport system is a joke on a good day and the walkability isn't even worth mentioning.
Yea I feel like theres a huge problem with the parking lots. Whether they are the stand alone ones, or the ones attached to buildings, Peds will make the most ridiculous turns to get into the parking lot, no matter what. Never fails to cause backups
There was an issue with the music used, YT thought it wasn't royalty free when it was, so I had to use the YT tool to replace it and it removed my voice for a couple mins too! Thanks YT!
I love how every time biffa goes to give dedicated turns he removes the ability for them to pick the multiple lanes cause it already has a dash line for it and when he clicks to give all he's done is remove it as an option 😅
This makes it a little better but now it's either a ghost town city or chaos. I am always disappointed looking at these major cs2 cities with zero cars. I enjoyed that aspect of cs1 dealing with a busy street. Even with this mod 85% of the city is a completely empty highway with a few crazy intersections.
I was having the same problem with people using bus-only lanes, and I discovered if you read the description of the lanes it's busses, emergency vehicles, and *vehicles making a turn*. Which, I understand why, but it means you can't limit civilian traffic. Which sucks. Love the channel! Thanks for the vids.
Nice fix! But I still maintain my comment from last video about your connectivity and hierarchy. The junction where you added the slip - when you've got that many cars all heading in the same direction and jamming up, surely that suggests that you're funnelling. A couple more connections would spread the load. I think that, in turn, would have saved you a lot of headache in managing all those junctions. Then again, where's the fun in that?
I'm from the Netherlands and I love some of your phrases as I am a visual thinker😂 "Shake a stick at" "Cutting the mustard" What more funny phrases do you have?
Pedestrians at roundabouts really kill the whole purpose of the roundabout. I always get rid of the crosswalk and either make ramps or crosswalks further away from them.
Great video! I've been tinkering with my traffic, which is fine 80% of the time but during rush hour some parts of my city just kind of collapse. Getting better after every iteration. Thanks for the inspiration!
Where you removed the roundabout on the 6-6 junction and added the slip road, you should remove the pedestrian crossings leading to the island the slip road created. There's nowhere for anyone to go there except right back across the street.
About 13:26 while you are working on that Stroad. If you make back entrances to the parking or flip the buildings around. The Biffa I watch would be able to eliminate the traffic that way. There is a lot of crossing there over.
Like you say Biffa, the one size fits all repair isn’t here so you need to learn. Your video on traffic management with traffic lights vs roundabouts is a thing. 👍🏻
in my limited experience, a draw-your-own roundabout works better with lane tool since they're all junctions to the game, loved the video! thanks for figuring out how all these mods actually work and what they actually do!!
I wonder if an underpass function will ever make its way into the game, so cims walk underground to cross roundabouts? So you don't always have to build footbridges to keep cims off the roads when crossing.
It's pretty telling looking at how much the traffic relies on despawning cars. They either couldn't get traffic to work without despawning things so often, or didn't even try because they already had this as a solution. In the end it makes the game more shallow because it will just delete stuck cars instead of asking the player to fix bad road layouts. Not that the devs even added the required tools to fix these things, because once again we need the traffic manager mod to do that for them. For which you now also need a paradox account.
its really weird that youre allowing cars to pull u-turns or swap lanes while inside the turning movement. Both of those are big get you a fine activities here and for good reason in most cases
It definitely feels that when it's perfected, the despawn mod will be useful for people who like to play like you do - as I mentioned on the video from the other day, it's clear that despawning needs to happen as the vehicle AI isn't good enough by itself, but at least the mod lets you tailor it to your own preferences.
Reminds me of a real life event. There was a big event in a big sports hall and people are driving in and out from there all day causing traffic jams on one specific red-light crossing. What people should have done is to stay put one their places until traffic cleared but what they did was to go into the intersection because they had green light and got stuck in the middle. When lights switched again cars from the other directions could not move at all. I see this in City Skylines as well, cars drive forward because there is a space to drive not thinking about the overall consequences of the intersection.
The buslane being turned into a one-way instead is a perfect example of the preferred path. You often see this for walkways or paths where the designer plans it one way, but the people actually walking choose the more efficient route instead. You can find 100s of photos of concrete pathways with almost no wear or tear and then right next to it a patch of dirt where it's clear 100s of people walk across it. The knee-jerk reaction by some is to punish those not using the laid out path, but the more modern approach would be accepting that people are right.
When I saw this video, I thought I was being trolled with those traffic problems at the start. I'm currently having the same problems in professional traffic modelling software.
Retrofitting an entire city for this mod sure looks daunting, good content tho! 😅 But this mod rly looks like something that should've been accommodated for since day1 for any non-content creators
Think you need to re learn your left and rights haha , on one traffic light they was all turning right and you kept saying left and a few other times 😂
to be fair he is British and they drive on the other side of the road. So his left turns(in RL) are the easy safe ones that are the right turns in game
@32:41 you should make that 2 dedicated turning lanes with one ongoing, there is a large amount of that traffic coming off the round about that is trying to turn at that intersection, so only having 1 turn lane is going to cause it to back up all the time.
Imagine driving home from work and being behind a car that engine stalled near a roundabout, only for an unseen deity to literally delete it from existence
5:10 lmao this reminded me of a game we had on our school computers. You had to walk from school to home but if you jaywalked you got hit by a car (lame safety lesson). But what we figured out is that if you stand on a crosswalk for to long the cars will start blocking each other until the whole map was jammed. And then you could walk wherever you want becouse there is no more cars to run you over (gigachad walkable anti-car city design leason)
I think there should be some pedestrian intersections that you can select and drop into place in the same way that the motorway intersections can be added. A choice of even 4 or 5 of the more common types would be great. Some underpasses and pedestrian bridges. Would save so much effort with trying to squeeze them in yourself.
The mod is looking great, but what I'm looking forward to seeing you try out is the street designer mod that lets you design the streets any way you want with any type of lane, any type of median etc in any order.
as a vanilla player I cry with my junctions even with the despawning thing on because vanila itself has almost no lane mathematics I can have 1 lane or 3 lane highways, that’s it. No assimetrical roads also.
something that should help a lot, if you have right side driving, dont put on high traffic areas a turn to the left if the street is two ways. why? because the cars would get in front of traffic (also that would cause accidents irl)
I’m new to this game I watched kibitz recently (2021 series) and found you today and oh boy you and kibitz are so different in fixing traffic (my English is not good sorry if I make a mistake)
Since you can, maybe remove the u-turns on the strode and any other high traffic intersections. Also, the roundabout near the edge of the map might be salvageable by nudging the roads entering the roundabout since the lanes slightly overlap
Only in Biffa's cities would you have no traffic lights - no wonder its so chaotic, yet at same time can have less traffic if it works smoothly. I for one would prefer traffic lights as it makes the game more realistic, yet have some areas with no traffic lights - and mesh both ways together around the city
Something something, the only solution to traffic is providing viable alternatives to driving.. really hope they get that bikes update implemented soon (no I haven't heard anything), it would help a lot with all this..
I just spend 4h fixing my city with the despawn mod. Lane mathematics really becomes important if you use this and the traffic tool is a must. There is one important nuisance i noted: Many nodes, especially if you change the road types, have u turn on them, even when there is a solid line. 🤬 I added a feature request to remove all u-turns 😅
The mahoosive queue of people isn't down to poor city planning, it's the line of people queueing up waiting patiently for you to do a Timberborn livestream.. 🧐
Flashback to that time RTGame broke the game so bad he achieved 100% traffic flow in a sponsored tournament. They had to check his save file to make sure he wasn't cheating, and confirmed that he just broke the calculation or something. Poor Biffa, though. Iirc, he got last place that round with like 20% traffic flow.
I agree. (1) Cars shouldn't block intersections (don't block the box) (2) they should obey the rules of the roundabouts - yield to traffic already in the roundabout and (3) pedestrians should be able to walk in between the blocked cars like in real life.
This is the most American city I've seen you build yet 😅 ✅ stroads ✅ suburban sprawl ✅ six-lane pedestrian crossings with no refuge or traffic lights (aka the kill zone) ✅ solution to all traffic: "just one more lane bro"
Biffa come to California and fix our cities! you are the only one who can! You alone have mastered the ways of the right-hand roadway as if born to them! Biffa Al Gaib!
Great to see the "fix the traffic" coming back to the game. But I have visual problems following what you're doing some of the time. I was wondering about speed, seemed to me like these 6 lane roads probably make the traffic faster, which means it gets to the next blockade quicker. If the speed were more sensible on smaller roads, would it make a difference?
I did notice that when you're adding lane directions, you're allowing people to make to make U-turns in the middle of an intersection. That shouldn't be happening. That's what roundabouts are for. By not allowing citizens to freely make U-turns where they shouldn't, it should help with freeing up unnecessary traffic congestion.
I have now tried the mod, my CPU didn't melt, though I ended up canning my poorly designed city and starting a new one with more public transport options early on.
I'm really struggling as a new player to CS2, I seem to just struggle constantly with making money. I'd love to see a beginner guide from you, I think you'd have some really good insights and experience.
Maybe use modes like Cities Skylines 1 that you used in a way that shows where each car is going and something else maybe make a highway to the outside of the city from the back near an industrial area and thank you very much for the videos⬅⬅⬅⬆⬆⬆
With regards to mods, it might not be a bad idea to post a follow-up video with recommended mods (traffic mods, better bulldozer, etc) post-patch. There's a ton of them out there, after all, with more showing up by the day.
What we do need in CS2 is a TPME mod like in CS1! It would help sooo much with timed lights! ...and all the options we had. I'll try the "No despawn traffic" mod in my city! (I'll expect chaos and stupidity for a 100k pop. 😅😆)

Definitely needs to have a bridge over or tunnel under. Or it defeats the whole point of a round about by making cars in the circle stop

Roundabouts absolutely should have ped crossings in urban areas. The issue here is that the roundabout us not fit for the purpose

I just spend 4h fixing my city with the despawn mod. Lane mathematics really becomes important if you use this and the traffic tool is a must.
There is one important nuisance i noted: Many nodes, especially if you change the road types, have u turn on them, even when there is a solid line. 🤬
I added a feature request to remove all u-turns 😅
The mahoosive queue of people isn't down to poor city planning, it's the line of people queueing up waiting patiently for you to do a Timberborn livestream.. 🧐
😅
you can set the traffic light mod to automatically set lights to split phasing with turning on red and ped phase in the settings
Flashback to that time RTGame broke the game so bad he achieved 100% traffic flow in a sponsored tournament. They had to check his save file to make sure he wasn't cheating, and confirmed that he just broke the calculation or something.
Poor Biffa, though. Iirc, he got last place that round with like 20% traffic flow.
I agree. (1) Cars shouldn't block intersections (don't block the box) (2) they should obey the rules of the roundabouts - yield to traffic already in the roundabout and (3) pedestrians should be able to walk in between the blocked cars like in real life.
This is the most American city I've seen you build yet 😅
✅ stroads
✅ suburban sprawl
✅ six-lane pedestrian crossings with no refuge or traffic lights (aka the kill zone)
✅ solution to all traffic: "just one more lane bro"
Biffa come to California and fix our cities! you are the only one who can! You alone have mastered the ways of the right-hand roadway as if born to them! Biffa Al Gaib!
👍😅
I think it would help at the T junctions to make them right turn only, especially when there isn't a traffic light.
Great to see the "fix the traffic" coming back to the game. But I have visual problems following what you're doing some of the time. I was wondering about speed, seemed to me like these 6 lane roads probably make the traffic faster, which means it gets to the next blockade quicker. If the speed were more sensible on smaller roads, would it make a difference?
5:30 my head canon: was a car crash, those people are the curious that swarn around it
I did notice that when you're adding lane directions, you're allowing people to make to make U-turns in the middle of an intersection. That shouldn't be happening. That's what roundabouts are for. By not allowing citizens to freely make U-turns where they shouldn't, it should help with freeing up unnecessary traffic congestion.
I have now tried the mod, my CPU didn't melt, though I ended up canning my poorly designed city and starting a new one with more public transport options early on.
I'm really struggling as a new player to CS2, I seem to just struggle constantly with making money. I'd love to see a beginner guide from you, I think you'd have some really good insights and experience.
Maybe use modes like Cities Skylines 1 that you used in a way that shows where each car is going and something else maybe make a highway to the outside of the city from the back near an industrial area and thank you very much for the videos⬅⬅⬅⬆⬆⬆
Can you do underground roads/pavements? I have not seen this yet and under road subways could help
its absoutley wild how much better CS1 did things
Awesome video! Love Cities Skylines traffic management! Does anyone know when this game will be available on PS5?
Thanks and no dates yet 👍
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines Thanks for the update. In the meantime I'm playing CS1 on my gaming laptop
cant wait for the new road editor mod
man your cities traffic has p r o b l e m s.
im so used to not seing any pop up notifications at all in my city, i love economy 2.0 just for that
Having pedestrian crossing on your mainringroad, like the one at the end feels abit weird. Pedestrian bridges feels more natural
With regards to mods, it might not be a bad idea to post a follow-up video with recommended mods (traffic mods, better bulldozer, etc) post-patch. There's a ton of them out there, after all, with more showing up by the day.
The stuck Sims looks like something from Shawn of the Dead 😂
What we do need in CS2 is a TPME mod like in CS1! It would help sooo much with timed lights! ...and all the options we had.
I'll try the "No despawn traffic" mod in my city! (I'll expect chaos and stupidity for a 100k pop. 😅😆)
Probably could do with a public transit overhaul and more pedestrian bridges
