Road Layout Tutorial and Inspiration - Traffic Fix
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 гру 2020
- Let's imagine a growing city. Cims are moving in and traffic is flowing fine. The population hits 10,000, 15,000, 20,000, and then it hits. Traffic grinds to a halt. Services can't get through, and buildings start dying. Most problems in Cities: Skylines are caused by bad traffic due to lack of a planned road layout using "Road Hierarchy". This video explores road connection concepts to help your citizens move freely and without backup.

"You should never put a roundabout on a highway."
*angry Dutch noises*
I'm currently experimenting with a magic-roundabout-style system of single-direction (all traffic on the highway is going clockwise) hexa-/octagonal highway rings around neighbourhood cells, with two or three internal arteries for quick connection and a roundabout at the center. I'm sure it would drive real people insane having to do slight detours and constantly having to turn right, but the game population seems to like it and it makes for a very space-efficient highspeed road network.
One thing that I've noticed in real life is that local roads are often connected to arterial roads but with only right turns being allowed. That way, the arterial isn't disturbed, but there's also more connections and pedestrians have more mobility.
Great point. I’ve been disallowing peds from crossing at those median connections. I’ll try letting them through!
@@YUMBL I hate peds

This dude should become a college professor. I wasn't bored for even a second and learned so much more than I have from anyone else. Fantastic breakdown.
I’ve watched many road hierarchy tutorials and yet this is one of the best videos I’ve seen. The larger scale placement with lots of examples is great for visual learners. Good job!
Thank you very much! I’m sure the layout is imperfect, but the concepts are sound.
bro i've seen you in the r/teenagers discord, then the minecraft server, and now here?
Certainly you don’t mean me
@@YUMBL It's hierarchy, not hi-archy like you're saying, happily strolling through life, omitting syllables all willy nilly.
All words and their pronunciations are made up. Though I do have recent videos on the subject where my pronunciation has improved. Without looking I think this recording must be three years old.
traffic always kills me and makes me wanna quit a city, and this was the first video that actually helped me understand how to deal with it. lots of videos show you how to fix it once it’s happened, but this preplanning is really attractive. thank you!!
I like Biffa, I like City Planner, and I certainly like what you are doing in these videos. All have a place in Cities Skylines. Thanks for the great video.
Thank you for being here :)
what about rtgame?
@@zackglickert4495 What about CallMeKevin?
@@mikehawk5722 yes, can’t forget him
Me personally biffa and city planners video are boring becasue they are way to long i liked city planner. When he was making short videos on spring break thats why u prefer kibitz
This is one of the most underrated channels in UA-cam. You should be having thousands of subscribers based on the quality of your videos.I wish you to get there ASAP. - Greece
Thank you so much! Apparently lot of people are rooting for me. Welcome to the channel :)
I agree. I just found this channel and its great.
Stopped playing Cities but I still watch every video incase I come back and still want to seem like a pro.
Gotta stay sharp!
Lmao me too
UA-cam never recommends good channels to me while subs are this low, I feel so priviledged.
The highest of compliments!
The information on service exchanges is one of the best bits of info on Cities: Skylines that I have recieved. I am committed to only use service exchanges for my starting area from this day forth.
Excellent! Hey, when you want traffic to exit the highway, use an exit!
This is a great tutorial on how to start a city with a future state in mind, thanks so much for sharing it!
Thanks for watching! :)
Thank you for mentioning paths. They are so important for people traffic I'm amazaed hardly anyone seems to use them at all.
I wish peds pathed automatically and wore dirt in the grass. Like desire paths in real life. Then we could choose to pave them or not :)
I also like small cheat roads just for services, small shortcuts just for them, no normal cars at all.
Sometimes even making a sort of almost seperate system for them to go through the city.
Excellent ideas!
This would be very handy in a dense city. It would allow priority to the city services
This is one of the best videos I've seen for getting these concepts across simply and concisely. Immediately was able to put this in to practice where so many videos, even ones by professional city planners, left me feeling like I still didn't know what I was doing. Thanks so much for making this.
You’re very welcome. I hope it helps! :)
10:33 mark you say "Hiachy" 😂. Had to pause for a second and stifle a giggle. Great useful information, though. I am new and have been very much enjoying all of your past and present tutorials
Brilliantly simple explanation of the "whys" of road hierarchy!
Thanks for watching :)
Best video on road hierarchy right here. We all know that the bigger are for more volume (that's how other videos usually explain them), but this one actually shows us how you're supposed to set them up and connect them with a very nice example that you could actually copy for your own city.
I would like to have seen the next step, and that's the squares filled up and see it in action, but I guess we can do that ourselves. Your point has been made!
This was so helpful in understanding basic rules of road hierarchy, and the visuals of your road you made were intuitive to understand! I'm excited to get back into City Skylines again, thanks!
this is awesome. exactly the type of planning guide i was looking for.
I was watching some of Biffa's guides but his solution to city planning is "lets put a roundabout here, leading to another roundabout here, and another roundabout over here."
i liked this better
Thanks a lot! The right answer is always very situational and, for me at least, rarely involves a roundabout. Good network planning and traffic lights are more fun :)
Ive started watching multiple road videos, but fall off to fast. This one kept me listening for 15 minutes straight. Perfect👌
Amazing video. Tough me a lot that i did not know yet and all make sence. This video show something that is way underestimated. I love all your tutorials who are very wel and very clear explained. Thank you for putting your time in teaching us
Of all of the videos about road hierarchy, this is the only one that I have actually been able to understand.
Thank you, and good job!
Thank you for being straight forward. No gimmicks or cringe! Def subbing.
I tried what you said after I watched over 20 tutorials and yours actually helped a lot. The at you break it down was better and getting a scale thank you
The highway system connector vs off ramp thing is so obvious that I never thought of it lol but I've definitely had problems with it and it never even occurred to me to change what the game gives you to start with. Thanks for this great information. I'm going to pass this on to a city skylines player called city planner plays who is a city planner by profession and I'm surprised he hasn't already done this.
great video about road hierarchy and a video all newbies should watch and derive their cities from. I used to play SimCity ALL THE TIME and got so used to the grid system, because that really was the limiting factor. So I got really good at these types of city layouts and it is the best way to start learning about efficient traffic systems. From this point on you can experiment around and make beautiful layouts, less effective for cars, but more interesting visually and for pedestrians. The one thing I always like to add is an elevated 4 lane road, then highway, perpendicular to the ground level highway, spanning the entire length of the city, often with a bend to the corners. This allows for extremely fast one way connections when ESPECIALLY industry related traffic wants to go from one end to the other. Once you add pedestrian overpasses to the roads, your traffic will stay above 90% consistently, with the help of metros later in the development. The most crucial information in this video: "Have the least amount of intersections as possible"
I understand this video more than I have with any of the other youtubers that has talked about how they do this! YUMBLE, this is great!
This is so beautiful, I can't wait to attempt implementation. Thank you.
Terrific video, great explanation of road hierarchy will aligns nicely with adding in transit and paths to reduce traffic flow. Cant wait to start a new city.
Thank you very much!
Even if you don't play CS, this has still got to be interesting. Learn't so much from just this one video and i can guarantee i'll come back to it in my next City build xd
Thank you very much! :)
Best explanation ever. I feel like I owe you money. I've seen so many videos and you're the only one to answer ans within 34 seconds of your video lol
bro. thank you for being short but informative at the same time. every other tip video I've found are almost always 1hr+. I just wanna play 😂
Best tutorial on using road heirarchy that I've seen so far! I'd make a few of those arterials down to collector roads, but that's just me ;) Also, I just got that map yesterday, and now I see you using the same map :D It's a really great design.
Thank you very much! It’s probably my favorite map. Very fun to build on. Enjoy!
and now I see why I've been starting over every single time I play. Great video!
Wow thank you!!! This is the best I have ever seen. I will use this as my new start for each game.
In addition to a very thorough explanation and well-detailed examples, I really like the way you speak. Thank you YUMBLtv.
Thanks a lot! :)
Best explanation of road hierarchy I have ever heard. The city looks great.
Also, about service interchanges. You can harmlessly add a couple right-hand turns outside your main interchange. Like, say, looking on the last minute of the video. The cars moving from the right bridge to the "upper" city could make a right-hand turn right away from the bridge without driving all the way to the service interchange, thus freeing it from 12.5% of the traffic. Also, you can make an outcoming right-hand turn on that spot from the "lower" city to the bridge (for example, I'd upgrade the road next to the forest to arterial and make an exit from it), and that's additional 12.5% of the interchange traffic.
In my experience of playing CS such separate right-hand turns (and sometimes even left-hand turns, if you go crazy) can spare you A LOT of traffic problems.
Ive been looking for a road layout tutorial! This was perfect for what I was looking for. Thank you and great video!
I knew it! Thank you for watching!
This is so good. Love your explaination! It deserves farrrr more views
This video scratches my OCD just right. Thank you! Learned a lot.
This is an amazing video. Giving me only the info i needed and as simple as you can make it without losing some of the info.
I’m glad you liked it!
once again, I have learnt something I wasn't giving much attention to when doing cities. Thank you!!
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching :)
This is easily the most straight forward and easy to follow CS tutorial I've watched yet, instant sub! If you could do an episode on add a light rail to a city would be very much appreciated!
Thanks a lot! :)
Great explainer! One detail: City Planner Plays shared, at some point, that safety rules require two connections to Collectors from neighbourhoods. Because otherwise they become giant cul de sacs. And if there’s a problem at one entrance, then the whole area gets cut off.
The neighborhoods are connected to all roads on all sides. In total both neighborhoods have around 8 external connections. Did you finish the video?
@@YUMBL When you started adding paths? Yes. Those are great. But also not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about a second connection that a firetruck could use.
Some of those neighborhoods have two connections, but some don't. Those are big cul de sacs.
This isn't my specialty, though. I'm just sharing something I learned from someone in the profession you cited as having relevant expertise.
Honestly.. of all videos I've watched... This is the very most helpful. Simple yet so concise...
Good job man... Definitely earned a sub..😎
Love that service interchange, we have some of those around the Copenhagen area and it makes sense, so comuters only make right turns and help decrease traffic.
Having watched a few times, I notice now that one of my mistakes is making the arterial span too long. These quadrants look like they might offer better flowing traffic instead of forcing everyone down the same one or two roads.
I was watching this while downloading mod on the workshop
And I just realized I accidentally download THIS man and THAT interchange without realising lmao
Inspiration is right! Got here from a Biffa vid, and glad I did. And YES, I put down lots of bike and pedestrian paths and overpasses! I've gotten into riding a bike around my locale, and boy, do I appreciate the bike paths! (We have a citizen's group that lobbies the city for better bikeways.) Makes watching the Cims biking extra fun.
Hey man, love your videos. And even bigger thanks for always including the important Steam-Links in the description! It helped me out many times already. Keep up the awesome work!
Glad to help! :)
Thanks for explaining this. Through hilarious trial and error, ended up with a road hierarchy layout without knowing there was a formal name to it. Very exciting.
I often watch Biffa videos and just today I discovers yours, I enjoy watching even if stop playng Sim City and Cities: Skylines since a while because I find it unmanageable and complicated I suspect too much randomness and bugs that lead to too much unpredictable behavior then I can't plan anything.
Whatever, what I can say is that you have here the best video to explain something never explained before (to me) and I find it satisfying, plus your road system looks beautiful, organic.
Thanks a lot! :)
This is my first time on your channel, already subscribed and planning on watching everything! Thanks!!
This explained road hierarchy logic way better than the other videos I've seen on youtube! A big thumbs up and a sub! I definitely won't miss your upcoming videos!
Thanks a lot :)
One of the best tutorials. You have gained a sub
I keep starting new cities because I can't envision all of this with the starting budget and selection, but these are great notes I'll try to remember!
New cities are often the way to go. The start is worth practicing until you have something you’re happy with
Thank you for making this. Very clear and digestible instruction.
Walkable pathway and cycling line are totally my favorite part of this game. Can't wait to see what they will do for city skyline 2.
gotta agree it simplifies the process and the issues you can have. Instantly subbed and looking forward to the next video.
Thanks a lot :)
Recently found your channel. Enjoying the videos. VERY helpful. Thank you so much.
This makes so much sence. Thank you
yet again you have put it in away i can understand thank you,keep up the great work
Thank you so much! I hope it helps :)
Goosebumps watching this video, so good. Thank you!
You’re welcome! :)
you explained it so well so major respect! My cities are about to look fire with this info!
Thanks for watching :)
I know it’s been 3 years but just started and this is the best one of these tutorials i’ve found
Thank you :)
You’re such a good explainer!
Thank you :)
bruh this is one of the best tutorials I've ever seen. You've gained a sub
Thank you :)
Great video dude!
I don't know how many times I watched this video. I would love to see different maps and how he would design his layout. It would be so helpful and awesome to watch.
So helpful! I’m gonna start a new city taking this into account!
Great job with a straight forward, informative video.
Well thought out and produced. Thank you.
You’re quite welcome :)
Man i discoverd this game couple days ago! Your guide is very usefull for me! Thank you buddy!)
Hallelujah! That was the first time I've grasped this concept. Thanks for the clear explanation. I'm off to start another city...
Good luck!
This video has been immensely helpful thank you SO MUCHHHHH
This has helped me in the beginning more than anything
This is all most people need to know!
The itch came back to play this game again. My early game was great and my city was thriving, but I made rookie mistakes and didn't plan things out was well as I thought I did. I guess I went into a fugue state at one point since I didn't even remember botching my highways up as bad as I did. These videos are great.
Best video by far thanks for this explaining and showing it in such a simple way
I clicked this thinking it would help me build my city even more efficiently, but instead you just articulated for me what I've already been doing without realizing it XD heehee I feel smart now
a wonderful piece of artwork!
I’d really love to see this layout in action with people/ industry in the works.
Been really into the idea of road hierarchy recently so this video being recommended was a blessing from UA-cam.
It’s just one method, but I hope it helps! :)
أحب كثيرًا أن أرى تخطيط مدينة تكون شوارعها مستقيمة ومتماثلة
استمر في ذلك ، فأنت تقوم بعمل جيد👏
Thank you so much for this video! This will really help my city
They are called Traffic Engineers. Great Video. Keep them coming.
Thank you! For how much I know about simulated traffic I know nothing of who actually makes decisions in municipalities.
@@YUMBL As a Dutch Traffic engineer, it is mostly the politicians that make the decisions on building roads or other kind of infrastructure. We only provide the calculations, designs, positive & negative effects etc. etc. The only power we have in terms of making decisions, is wheter or not some roads need maintainance and what is the best option to solve a problem. of course we are limited by budget and other factors ofc.
Great explanation! Thank you!
@@TurboVeer123 you are a big pro the Netherlands has some of the best roads
Brilliants stuff, such a great explanation
Very helpful. Thanks!
This was a great explanation of road higher arche. Thank you
You’re welcome! :)
This feels legit. Like it could be taught in an actual city planning class.
Thank you for this video! It was exactly what I was searching for: clear theory with a precise system c:
This is amazingly helpful thank you so much 🙏🏿
thank you for showing us that interchange, i've always wondered how to incorporate a two-way road into one but could never figure it out on my own. was always just frustrated with trying to go from two separate one-way roads into a single two-way
Yes! Thats called a service interchange. Excellent for getting cars off the highway :)
omg this video was really helpful im really glad i watch your twitch streams and yt videos they help a lot and tysm! keep up the great work!!:)
Whoa, thank you so much!
@@YUMBL no problem
This Video changed my whole Gameplay, makes so much sense and works really really fine! =)
Glad to help! :)
The way you explained everything makes me wonder why wont you have at least 1m subs ? damnit. This is my first time here you deserves my subs dude..keep up the good work!
Thank you very much! This channel is only a year old. Stick around ;)
@@YUMBL hehe look up the spiffing Brit, he'll have a few... Suggestions...
I’ve seen! I dont prefer his cities stuff, but his algorithm stuff is interesting. I’m proud that my progress has been quite organic :)
This is amazing. Next map I will definitely be using this info!
Have fun!
That's hella good concept
I've been playing cities skylines for like 2 years now and I literally fell now like I've never played it 😂
Fantastic video. Thank you!
a straight to the point fantastic informative video , good job
Wow! This flicked a switch in my brain. Amazing video and explanation.
I hope it helps :)
Great guidance on road hierarchy! 👍
I'd also recommend to avoid zoning at arterial roads.
Agreed :)
