Is a Perfect "Grid" City with no Traffic Possible in Cities Skylines?

well the clouds are like what the heck is going on the traffic's so bad even the cars are in the area like do you know what I'd rather just stay on here hello everybody and welcome back to fix your city with me a bit lovely to have you along and yes this game isn't pause you can see there are some vehicles moving but everything out is at a standstill in the city of carabao sent in by Emma I believe it was and as we can see often people will ask for a well designed city and you have to say this is a well design city look at those straight lines look at those grids this thing is laid out I've even got roundabouts style districts nice big Central Park in there this thing is absolutely lovely look at that look at that very very nice now the size of this city 344,000 it is growing which is good and the traffic now that is the reason why we're all here let's take a look at that 22% because this city is so large we can see it's coming from outside the city there we go let's head in it's heading in down here it's all building up there so we'll have a look at that and in other parts of the city back where we started are just red Road red road all the way through the middle all the way through the most there's lots of hotspots and I reckon there's a few fixes that will easily sort this all out so we're going to dive into that if you're looking forward to this fix don't forget to leave a like the more I remind people the more likes I seem to get which is fantastic and I know a lot of you enjoy this and I know a lot of you watching aren't subscribed as well huge percentage so subscribe button if you want to see more wow there's a lot of tunnels and you've got lots of bypass roads and things so yeah we're gonna dive into fixing a lot of these if you want to know what mods and things I am using you can head on over to my discord that is linked in the description below and that will help you out and yeah I'm already seeing a lot of things here that we can fix oh I look at all these post fan post trucks there we go all heading out and getting stuck so where shall we start so the first thing I'm gonna do is looking at all of your roundabouts you've got roundabouts with issues all over the place I've got a sneaky feeling that you were using traffic manager but it didn't necessarily transfer the settings over so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna show you how to set up a couple around about you was in the viewing public with your cups of tea enjoying this episode because I believe Emma who made this city I think it was Emma I hope it was Emma it might have been Dave Jim Fred no I think it was Emma I think you know what you're doing but yeah everybody else and we like to use I'm using the labs version now and you can find this on station just search for CMP II and there'll be all the versions there so many people saying they can't find it it's all just there but if we click on this and I do ctrl shift and click and it will set up the lane arrows it was set up the giveaway signs it will just do everything for us and as soon as we do that things will start moving so we've got giveaway coming onto the roundabouts which for the uneducated ones out there that don't seem to know how to use roundabouts and yes believe me there are loads of people so that goes off there we go look as soon as we do it the roundabouts just starts moving it's fantastic look at that and the big difference is when you use this one here the junction restrictions your notice that I only want people into in a block Junction if they're on the roundabout so they just keep on going keep on going and then once coming on like this one he's when we turn that off I don't want them entering unless they can and that'll just get everything moving on here out of the way and then people can start entering onto the roundabout and it all moves smoothly and that is the idea so I'm just gonna pop around and do all the roundabouts and yeah we will be bout this one actually looks like it has been done maybe so anyway I'm gonna go down and do that and I will be back with you in a moment or two something here as well this this road coming in and that road going out far too close together I can see you sort of try to you know you do love your straight lines and keep them things lined up is a little bit too close I've got to be honest you could just delete that from there because you've got this access round here going around you really just don't need that there and I think this once posed to be around about I'm not quite sure what's happened here it's all gone a bit Pete Tong isn't it that is an interesting looking round about oh my goodness there's just so many pose fans I love it when you just put a little change on two roundabouts and things start moving oh love it love it love it as I've been working on that when I started recording the traffic has gone down and down and down as you saw it was 17% but now things are starting to move very slowly very slowly because it is a very large city but things are starting to get going so let us have a quick look at what else you've got going on here how is your public transportation so you've got lots of buses going you do have lots of subway which is fantastic let's just take a look so a huge amount of people using them I'll be honest normally once you set up subway you really want to get a load of people on there like you know into the thousands or hundreds and hundreds and thousands thousands if we can you've got a loop there going round I've just seen where you've got things covered yeah got subway sort of all over the place which is fair enough buses let's have a quick look at that oh my goodness yeah that problem that we see so often millions of vehicles hardly any people with that is just gonna be filling up our city look so what I'm gonna do is I'll tell you what I could do on the wall because all the bus lines were a bit of a problem is I'm gonna go into the budget here and I'm just gonna drop that right all the way down over time the amount of vehicles here will decrease there we go look you see them going down and we may have to go through and adjust some of these extra large amount we'll do that and I hopefully that will help but I notice you have yeah you can tell on somebody plays with that unlimited money Kahn you just so much so much plunked down to look nice but just absolutely Wow tons of everything I don't think you ever gonna break even on this city anyway let's look back at an area like this so you've got this farming area here what are we at 24% good good this farming area here the only way it gets out is through this roundabout you know now in and out shake it all about and then that's this area here this forestry industry the only way in and out is through that roundabout this mineral industry there's all industry the only way in and out is through that roundabout and then all three of them hit this roundabout here I'm not saying that necessarily bad but then I can see when you just sort of tried to help out and say well we'll add this road here we'll add that road there then you've got these cargo hubs and and just nothing's working they're just all getting in each other's way you have a highway that runs up here so for anybody here that just wants to leave and not get caught up in everything else they can't so we could just have little roads over here so I mean you could just go I mean I'm just gonna whack it in not necessarily neat and tidy like that so you can go the other direction so now they can leave in both directions and then you could also do the same coming in if you wanted to to come in down here but I think having them leave what you've got some one-way roads going around there as well I wouldn't even bother with those one-way roads I've got to be honest so hopefully people start using that and then what we can do just to sort of help them out a little bit here we've got three lanes plus another one coming out we're just gonna add a four-lane highway a couple of stretches after there we'll do the same here and then we just very quickly go like this and say you go there you go there you go there I mean anticipating more people using this so we want the merge in and then we're going to same between the two four-lane sections shift s don't change lanes and they can merge up there and then we'll just do the same on the other side and we'll see we'll start seeing people using that and that just gives an extra way to get in and out I mean you could even allow some of these people to come through and use that we've got this road here in fact I'm gonna do that and then I'm gonna connect it to there yes so now these guys have another way of getting out and then we're gonna make this a main road through here so we're gonna hold that and do shift on that line there we go we're gonna come to the end and just change that one and say give way you go through and then we're gonna go so now we've got giveaway signs all the roads coming on and this main road goes through go speakers through and then we just want to change the end piece about that don't worry about that yeah and that should be fine there we go so I've just run a load and you go there I've just one of loads there onto this way so they can get out and underneath there and the other way so now they can leave in both directions which I think once the game realizes those options are available on all the cars and trucks just aren't stuck in traffic it will get much clearer and easier they would go that way and again like I say he doesn't coming in as well if you wanted to but we'll just go with that at the moment what are we at 34% nice nice nice but let's just leave that all running this is one of those cities where this sort of size we're losing a lot of people I am gonna build up the city again at the end I do get comments all the time so now your traffic's only better because you've lost 50,000 people to be honest that really doesn't make much difference I know it sounds a bit counterintuitive but it really doesn't make a huge amount a difference because there's always going to be a ton of traffic you can lose a load of people and still have rubbish traffic aha here we go these are the two junctions that are far too close together so regular viewers of City fixin may know you need spaces between nodes nodes is where the cars will change lane as you notice probably there that truck change lane here and these are far too close together so what we would normally do with roads coming out like this is we would do a bit of Hugo there and Hugo there but these guys that would go into that Lane there's no node in between and they're going to be forced to go off up there which is probably something they don't want to do could I use the move if mod select all of this and just shift ePHI along a bit let's just pause the game let's get the moving mod and at the Marky's selection we cannot move all of that over no some of the loads are looking a bit all people ki winky wonky but that is fine will sort that in a second excellent that is good we'll come back to those top sections in a minute so now down here and let's just go back to this let's just delete that and delete that and put back in your four-lane road and because they're so far apart it should automatically add in a couple of nodes you are no daring a node there so now we've got a bit of space for them Lane switching before they get over still probably could do with a bit more space so let's go back to the movie if mod and just move this all over a little bit more we've got tons of room here we might as well give these guys as much space as possible there we go that should do and now if we I mean there are mods that you can use to add nodes to roads but I'm just drawing them in by hand there we go look you can see there was a load of nodes in there so we've now got one two one two plenty of spaces for lane switches so now if we did our you go there you go there so these so these cars don't all get in each other's way ah what is going on that needs to be five lanes do we have five lane highway there we go let's just upgrade that one to three one four lanes fine over that side so let's do this again man so many lanes and this might still get a bit Hawk your bog you busy we haven't actually done any Lane mathematics on these junctions we might end up having to do but now they can all come out and not get in each other's way they've got a couple of nodes to switch and then they can go off where they wish well the cars are like what the heck is going on the traffic's so bad even the cars are in the area like do you know what I'd rather just stay on here alright let's just pause that I'm gonna sort out this connecting road this connecting mode in this connection mode one second okay there we go all the loads are connected up the roundabouts are set up properly everybody's now diving back onto the high there we go they're going yeah we should take the new highways so I'm gonna know I've like really messed up this by her white line here oh dear let's just fix that up there we go these poor people actually while these people will getting back onto this Junction here let's just take a quick look at some of the roads we've got coming off I can't see here come on now sorry forestry truck I'm gonna have to delete you yeah see we've got lanes doing at two things at once which we do not want so we're gonna use the change lane arrows to get the node hold ctrl and now that just does one thing which is one off we can't see all these people they're never coming back from work there we go yeah that one's done as well being there we go so what that means is that they're not gonna sit in one lane when they only just want to go straight on yes there we go and then of course the merging coming back on again that needs a bit if you go there work because if we just go this way look they're all sitting there and these guys are all whacking into each other and I don't think we have enough Lane so we are gonna have to do some lane mathematics a little bit here so let's use this one we've got three lanes coming up one going off I'm gonna leave that as three and then this one three lanes going up and one coming off I'm gonna change this one down to two and then we've got two and that's like two lanes coming up there we really don't need two lanes coming up there it's nice and everything box once things start going one lane will be fine so then we have two plus one back to 3 and then 3 plus one and this is going to go to four so we're gonna have a couple of stretches a four and then they can merge back in again so if you just work backwards here we're gonna say no Lane switching between the four and there as well when you guys come on we're gonna say you go there are so much easy to do this now even with loads of cars they can you've only got to select the lane that's it so they merge through carry on down Cameron Beckman they merge together here which it I mean it's a bit of an issue because of all the other traffic but yeah as time goes on that will get better and then here as well we're gonna say you go there come here you go there and you go there and that's fine for that road and then go in the other direction what if we got all these people want to come off and go up there merging Mekons okay this is coming off that's going down there yeah everywhere else is alright the moment so what are we ants Oh 46% is getting better let's have a quick look at this one we did that coming on didn't we have done no mathematics here we might just do the lane arrows that's fine seriously now everybody wants to come where they all go in its using game tool let's pick this road there public transport there's a lot of that so that tells you you need public transport coming over here that's people come in to work yeah okay okay lots of people are coming to work over here because there's no subways over there because I did notice that with your subways yeah what what I want to do is just add a subway in here subway in there in the subway in here and somehow connect it to everything else okay so I've sort of just randomly connected this to two other subway lines at either end oh autosave Zippity I normally wouldn't go about it so haphazardly but your city is so big in your subway is so huge and vast I just really don't want to take the whole thing apart I'm like oh yeah so once there we go the Auto states finish so we're going to go from there to there and in there and then we're just gonna go back again down here down here so it's connected to these two big branches at either end and it's just gonna sort of loop around they might get in each other's way from time to time but yeah down there down there so we're now got a way for people to get to work without driving which would be good traffic flow of 50 percent nice dedicated turning lanes dedicated to turning lanes dedicate your turning lanes give me that oh you're gonna do it anyway well I need to get my nook so I'll tell you what I am gonna just leave this one in there and we're gonna come back to it in an hour I'm gonna save come back in an hour and see how well it is running I will see you then okay some time has gone by let's have a look on the city a 69% not bad not bad and let's just have a look around what have we got we've got some red spots here and there they're just sort of busy I mean that's not too bad that's someone look that's just busy down there there's a couple of junctions that are gonna need a bit of extra attention that's just ready for it's busy what's going on down here that's like a really sharp turn and they're slowing right down to come down there yeah there's a few sort of spots where the bit of Lane mathematics would make a big difference so this Junction here is causing a lot of problems the cars are all coming down or getting caught are all getting snarled up here and then they're all coming round here and I forgot to press record so what I basically done is done a little bit of Lane mathematics we've gone from three lanes down to two so now we've got one Lane it dedicated for coming off and the tufa straight on and then where it comes out the other side we've got two lanes plus one and we can add our Lane connectors in so they're gonna nicely move out into this section without getting in each other's way which is good then they can switch lanes decide what they want to do and we've got one lane for coming off there I use the control click with the lane arrows so that's good and then down here it's slow oh I see they're stopping here okay let's just do give way this they can keep going it's to control click there so we've got dedicated hours I'm gonna upgrade the end of this to two lanes like one now if you don't mind there we go so we now have a left lane and a right lane does that put traffic lights there anything no so they should just keep driving out pick a lane and go whichever way they want to go in fact we could even just go a little bit further back with that and then hopefully these guys here will stop getting in each other's way very very soon and I'm gonna go around the rest of this Junction and just check all the other places to set up like that with any one arrow coming off again this can be Lane MacMaster sized or not use that word in a while so three lanes one going off and down in to two so let me just run the game a little bit longer I need to check actually got work in trash collecting garbage production Garwood processing yes we've got it all down here look that's why we saw those before so garbage trucks in use so they're all Gary now let's just have a look at our budget for garbage just wipe that up I get all those trucks going out yeah they're probably all stuck in the traffic somewhere where would they be oh there's a connecting road there which goes down here yeah they'll be okay they'll be okay well shooting some hot spots like this yeah needs Lane math math mathematics again this yeah we're gonna downgrade this to two along here there we go so the mass will work out correctly we'll do the one go in the other way as well there we go and then we'll just get them to merge nicely when they come out there we go there we go I don't think we need to get anybody else merging nicely no and they've all got a lane each and then I noticed here when you set this up this Lane here was but they made it for turning round you don't know you got a roundabout here so I've set these they go straight ahead straight ahead straight ahead and then they pick a lane when they get down here and that will stop all of that problem I might just say no Lane switchin there playing in other places the lane switch yeah that should just run through smoothly I wish I had speed 10 speed 5 SP 3 it just doesn't really cut in here the moment is it but yeah there we get look at this guy look no don't do it carry on there we go oh and another Junction here as well we're gonna definitely get this one set up with the lane maths it's causing all sorts of issues where they're merging out here so the little changes like this can make all the difference oh that's the one that's the one little changes like this could make all the difference so we sort of hovering around 65% but giving a little bit of time after doing all these all these little changes it's just gonna make the world a difference then I'll stop Lane switchin they'll get to the right place a lot of them want to go up here what I've done up here is I've just made sure we've got a lane for left line straight um we're gonna turn the traffic lights off but it's just nobody coming in coming through here you just keep going keep on going get out there get into the city enjoy yourself so yeah any junctions like this ctrl-click ping dedicated lanes ping dedicated turning lanes ping dedicated certain lanes I love it I love it there we go all the way along and that will just keep things moving absolutely wonderfully how long is this road I thought that was only gonna be about three junctions I seem to be going on forever am i reaching the Far Lands there we go the ends I mean you could do all the way down there as well but it's not that busy so yeah there we go excellent and we growing 221,000 what are we at 65% that's another hot spot taken care of that will go down let me keep on looking around for more ok another little change I've been making around the place is on some of the really busy roundabouts so these four junctions coming on they were all like this one at the bottom and at the top allô going straight into and straight into the Ireland into the roundabout and it just means that the cars are really slow getting onto the round of they were waiting their way tumors if you have a nice sort of curved road like this they can whizz up nice and quick and join a lot better and for instance this road on the left here was backing up a long way but it's not anymore because I put that on there and the same on this side so I'm gonna do the same with this one up here we can see it's all backed up down there and see we can stop it doing that [Music] there we go we can see it's still busy cars coming down here depending on the traffic coming the other way but it's definitely not building up as much as it was before so that is something you really want to do on at your busiest roundabouts [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so we are up to 74% it's still going up with sometimes 75 there we go is sometimes 75 we hit 75 the city is still growing and not that far off where we started and the things are looking okay one change I might suggest that you want to do is on this side of the map this road is like the only way in and it seems to connect to two roads coming in that one there and that one now I'm on the edge of the map and it means we just get a haircut a lot of cars coming down this one it's a lot a lot of cars that are then spreading out in the city and they just sort of get a bit clumped up in this intersection maybe change that but I think overall let's zoom out and take a look at what we've got a couple of hot spots that are still busy but the traffic is not backing up the rest of this is all clear look at that your industry all clear I think that is absolutely brilliant what do you reckon let me know in the comments below I really nice little area over here I think that's cool and subscribe before you leaves you don't miss out on any more episodes in the future and I'm gonna say thank you very much for watching I can get my teeth in and say the right words and I'll see you all very soon take care bye bye
