When the Traffic is SOOOO BAD you just Bypass EVERYTHING in Cities Skylines

hello everybody and welcome back to the city of pepper lake our natural disaster city from a few years ago that we have been trying to fix up we left it in the last episode with the traffic at 69 percent yeah and we still need to do some fixing and one of the big things that was mentioned by you in the comments that has been noticed by me is the terrible highways in this city i'm just looking at this now so if you're coming down here and want to get to the other side of the city at the moment the only option you have i mean this one isn't too bad you come in here you come off there you can then go round the outside here we've got this underground highway goes all the way to there then you can go up there that's fine this one you come in you can't join this highway so you've got to go up there i mean you can go all the way back round on yourself which isn't going to happen you're more likely to sort of come through here or go up there and out but you can't get to this side easily without going through the city and these two this one here can come down and sort of join that one if you want to get up to there you got to go all the way around and this one here is going to come through there whatever i want a little connection along the top here um just to try and help stop everybody flying through the city yeah and then there's going to be a lot of other fixing not fixing fixing that we need to do i'm going to use this one here the four lane national highway which i think can just fit through this road here because we haven't bought any other tiles here so what is that saying is a problem uh space already occupied what by what do we have here these can all just be deleted i don't care for any houses up here you can go you can oh it's this thing here look the fire watch tower let's just pop you down there for now and i know all my electric cables are going to get deleted i'm not worried about that come on i want it all i don't want a bridge oh good gravy no i just want that in there like this and that can come all the way along the back and out the other side there we go look at that a nice national highway i'm trying not to just buy other tiles just for the sake of it what is that big gap between there i will sort that out and then i want this let's just come out a little bit more to attach to this highway up here somehow could we just use a very simple junction like one of these in there that actually would be perfect wouldn't it if i get this lined up properly oh let's try that again come on come on there we go oh darn it didn't connect the roads okay let me connect the oh wow let's just have another one over here all right let me just remove that there we go we're gonna downgrade those to two and i'm also going to just do this just move it up a little bit let's use this to connect it up so we're going to go one in and one out excellent let's just get that straighter and then we'll upgrade that with the two-lane road and that should be uh okay yeah that's fine and then we'll just use this here to make sure they go like that go straight through okay go through and go through excellent so now they've got access to get round the back of the city i'm just going to do a very quick bit of lane mathematics three lanes coming down one goes off so it goes down to two same going in the other direction and then we'll just assuming this might get a bit busy we'll say hugo there and hugo there excellent that's good they've all got their set lanes very good very good so that's going to come all the way along the back we're not going to connect that to anything else and then i want that to connect up to oh over here how are we going to do that oh i'm just thinking actually if we connected it to this road as a collector going through i know it's not quite what we were looking for but then they could come down here around that roundabout and they're on the highway right there that actually might work out okay i'm assuming there's not going to be a huge amount of people using it going through the city let's do that for now and that's not quite what we said a second ago but i'd like to give that a go and just see let's curve that around a bit and then curve that around again oh that one's one way yeah i don't like all these one-way roads we've got plonk down everywhere let's just change that to a two-way gotta give people options to get around the place so let's do that is that going to keep it as a bridge yeah and yeah excellent so let's just make sure they've got dedicated turning lanes and i want that to give way and that to give way this is two-way as well yeah let's do dedicated turning lanes that's a one-way road going in that's fine this one here dedicated turning lanes oh we've got a bit of a very close node oh have i missed yeah i missed upgrading that piece of road there haven't i there we go excellent that makes more sense dedicated turning loans and then this one's going to be give way comes all the way down to here and we'll do the same there dedicated turning lanes and give way coming on to it so that gives more options to get around we'll keep an eye on that how's this roundabout looking not too spiffy control shift left click so now we've got all the giveaway signs what is this six lane behemoth coming through here from the other side oh it's this road okay so that was my original way of getting people from one side to the other was to join them there have this big underground and it also comes off and joins that yeah we are going to delete that we don't want that so let me carefully run along here and hopefully not delete any of the other houses okay there we go so then we don't really need that roundabout there anymore do we so let's just pause the game and get rid of this and just take a look at what's going on here so we've got that one's coming in and that is basically joining up to this highway thing here isn't it yeah so what we're gonna do is we're gonna downgrade this one here to a four lane so we've got the one lane coming in we've got the two that can be that as well and then this one here can actually be three in and two out that will work better yeah there we go and we can give that dedicated turning lanes when you come in yeah i've got a long way around haven't i let's turn that around there we go excellent that kind of dedicated turning lanes when it comes in and it goes down to two this yeah it doesn't need to turn left does it so if we just click there and do that that will just turn right then that comes along here and joins onto this what are these two roads doing i tell you i've no idea let's change that like that got some weird bus stop or something there he's not very happy about his loss in life uh can i just sort of curve these around a little bit yeah that'll do and then we'll do the same thing here we'll go in with you out with you and then line them up and upgrade them there we go hugo there so you stick to your lane and just keep on going so that will now spread out and go to the highway which is much much better let's just start the simulation up again what is this here is that some sort of bus stop that somehow got plonked on the side of a road there's literally nothing there all right we'll check the bus stops another time let's not worry too much about that for now um let us quickly do our lane mathematics on this one as we're here and we'll also do the hugo through you go there and you go there excellent excellent excellent i'll be interested to see who starts using that and then there was something up here i spotted now this here normally if you have a one-way road going the wrong way on a section uh like this you get these little symbols and you can spot them a mile away and you go oh what's going on wrong way around let's sort that out well there's a one-way road going the wrong way on here and it's not showing up because if you come along here it hits this one going the wrong way which stops anybody using this whole road but it doesn't show up with that weird symbol because technically these can come up here go down there and come back down here again so i'm going to turn that around and which will hopefully fix that problem we're also going to do that and we're also going to do you go there you go there right here you go there and if you go there to keep that going i'm also going to do it going this way just to keep things moving along nicely so that might have made a big difference to the path finding in the city because nobody could come around wherever they've come from yeah down here up around there i wonder whether that's happened at any other junctions i mean i have to go through all of them and check them but yeah maybe we'll check that another time okay so the other one was this one here i mean they can get around the outside but it's i'm just wondering whether we could just add a little slick lane or two onto this underground road here i bet we could like this i mean we might have to do a bit of maneuvering around afterwards oh my goodness me that really looked bad didn't it let's yank that one out and try and get this to be lined up a little bit better because ideally i want that to sort of curve around like that there we go and then it can join there and it's some for some reason let's put it above ground but at least you can see at least you can see where you're going i don't know why it does that that is weird um let me just see if i can sort that out okay there we go that's not too bad so we've got this little wiggly one here joining going that way i've also added one off this road going the other way in case anybody needs to they can always come up here go around the roundabout come back and join to go in that direction good so that is gonna help i think a lot with that now the other big thing that i noticed was all of our industry is up here we have a huge need for industry and all of it is coming through this section which is clogging up clogging up absolutely everything nothing is moving it's all really really bad look at that oh so everybody's coming to work here and to get all their goods from here as well what i would like to do when we've got a lot of offices um i'm just wondering whether we could put in one of these industries and we've got this space over here what does that have natural resources wise trees um this has got it's got some oil and all dotted around i mean we could make this like a little forestry area what do we reckon to try and help some people get around a little bit differently yeah why not let's do that so let's mark this in as an industry zone i'll just grab that there and sort of mark around here excellent and then we want to connect this somehow to our road network we've got this road here which goes straight along up to that roundabout so that's got access to other places which would be good um let's just check not that one there how this roundabout set up it's not so there we go let's help set that up let's also do our pre causing lots more traffic there we go lane mathematics and hugo there's you go through you go there you go there you go there thinking this is actually going to end up being quite busy and you go there okay so yeah let's come off of this road here is that like a two lane one lane two-way i mean no that's okay it is a six lane one but that's fine i think in this road here let's have that let's have that just run straight through the middle and i might even put some sort of junction along here as well might work out quite well we'll see let's move this out a bit excellent and then down here i think would be a perfect spot to add in yeah let's go for forward street only because there's loads of trees around here let's put it off the side road congratulations there we go i'm going to take out these power lines because i'm using the no power lines mod there we go because eventually everything is going to be touching anyway so we don't need to worry too much about that and then off of here we could just get access to a railway line coming up here that would be perfect if there was oh my goodness the metro is so horrendous [Laughter] where is the railway line going through here so we've got our ship line over here she could put some sort of harbour on yeah it looks to me like there's no external railway line at all but we've got like an internal cargo line that goes there that comes down here stops there and then we've got an internal passenger line yeah which is sort of separate from my feeding house which is good well done before from the past so the cargo line also comes up here that's just like a little cargo line that goes backwards and forwards could we hook into maybe this one over here um so close to all of this i mean there's not much going on on this line at the moment so i'm just wondering whether if we just hooked into that like this let's line that up a bit better yeah i want that straight and then came out the other side we're going to lose a few buildings let's turn oh yeah it's all on already i want to go straight and then we could just run that along the back here and get access in there so yeah let me just do that yeah there we go we'll hook into it like that and it just goes underground here comes back up goes over the highway and then we can add a nice little cargo type thing over here which actually might help with all of our traffic as well because these guys aren't going to be driving everywhere they can drop it off at the nearest cargo station and bring it over to this side of the city so let's have a look let's grab a i want it sort of coming up here actually let's set that up first we're going to grab our two lane one-way rows let's use the industry ones why not uh which side of the road you're going to be driving on this one here uh we'll turn it around if you need to so let's come up let's actually do it further along let's do it down here so let's come up like that along like that and down like ah hate it when it happens and down like that there we go dedicated turning lanes i'm going to give way for these guys coming out and that's going in isn't it yeah that's fine and we'll see how that goes let's add i'm going to put that yeah let's pop it more towards that in there and let's just see if we can then hook this thing up so i'm gonna go down yeah there we go that's good that can get out what we could do is have it one way in and one way out and join up i don't think that would work very well actually no let's leave it like that that'll be fine so that can head in like that and then we can start adding in our plantations and tree stuff and i just like to set this back a little bit from the road as well so let's build something on this side of the road [Music] there we go we're not going for the ultimate setup here but just something that will work well i think we need traffic lights on this one here either let's just keep this main road flowing there we go something that'll work well something that can make us some goods yeah we should be fantastic so we could even add some more of these on here but at the moment what else have we got yeah that's literally all we've got is those three items so let's have a look at high woods so workers until next level we've got all the workers that we're going to need we've got plenty of spaces yep so we just need to leave that ticking along and we also just need to make sure that we are going to get cargo trains coming down here let's just make sure that is connected up properly i'm a little bit concerned that that isn't quite right so let me just delete that there i'm going to move this just a little bit over and then i'm going to just draw that in again yeah i think that's okay i think just got it right close to that it just looks a bit odd oh we've got a weird sort of jumpy thing going on there let's just lower that down and let's just raise that up it's got it's on a diagonal slope yep okay that'll do so then hopefully we'll get some connection that's going to come along there come around there got the t junction there which comes up to here okay now what's going on with you guys see this isn't going to work if you aren't all gonna play ball so why are you not all working is this all proper so i think you haven't got enough space to get in and out have you so what we're gonna do is we're gonna delete all of this there we go i'm gonna make this a one-way system just to try and help with this we've got a one-way track coming in and delete some more track there yeah so we're gonna have our one-way track coming in here and then we're gonna have our one-way track coming out over here let's put that down on the ground there we go and that can come out and hook back in where should we bring this in like that then you can hook up there and then these two need to meet up and come into there somehow yeah it's a bit wiggly wobbly but i think it might work so this one that comes down from our cargo harbor thing here can come down it's got one way there we go this one down here they can queue up around the back they can come through and then they can go out and then if that needs to leave to go back to the cargo harbor it's got this little junction here which is one way to go back up there so hopefully that then won't get in the way of anybody else that wants to go through so let's just do this i mean this is still going to be quite busy coming up here but look these are dropping off they're good one at a time and then they're just disappearing which is what you want so they don't get in the way of everybody else got a bit of a stair step going on here let me just sort what is going on with that there we go there we go so all of these junctions should be working fine that one connects up there okay yeah you've got two lots coming in there but this is big enough to hold a train and you can even put giveaway signs on here if you wanted to to prioritize one or the other there we go look he's heading off out back up there and now this isn't backing up as much as it was yeah i think that'll be working perfectly fine excellent so that's going to clear up the traffic for our trains and hopefully we'll get some more trains coming down and using this other line okay good so we're gonna take a step back from our road and our trains at the moment and we're gonna take another look at our mass transit so yeah already i can spot some things on here where there's like no passengers or one passenger and we've got loads of vehicles and buses so i would just always delete these they're obviously completely not used at all that one there can have one bus because we never know we might get some more people using that if we're lucky that's going to get too that's going to get to it might be that our bus routes are horrendous that is not definitely having six that's going to have three even that one is hardly anybody on them i'll drop it to three and we'll hope that things might pick up um our tram lines are being very well used which is great let's just have a look make sure they're not overloaded no they're okay plenty of space they're all spread out they're all moving so that's nice let's check this one here yeah all spread out or moving yeah that's going to pick up the people there yeah i wouldn't say we need any more on that one let's have a look this one here lots of people waiting lots of people waiting we definitely need more on that so let's up that to 12 and hope that there's enough room on the line to keep those moving and then our last one this is definitely going to need some more 165 people waiting there yeah let's up that to 10. we'll see how that goes what have we got for our metro lines wow okay we've got two here that don't have any people at all let's just have a quick look at our metro before we start changing things up so traffic is down to 59 that's great well it's going to be rearranging itself a bit isn't it so we'll just see how that goes right metro metro metro metro so we've got metro set up all over the place it is working even though it's from the pre-metro changes additions that we had so even huge right angles like this will still work can we find a metro on this line there it is look there you go it just came around the corner so it will still work it will sort of overhang look a bit wonky but it will still go which is fine so overall we've got metro so we've got like a big metro loop there then we've got a metro line that runs through here we've got this other janky thing that runs to another loop so this loop in inverted commas look at the shape of that loop it's got a line going in both directions which is exactly what i would do it's then connected over here to our airport which is then connected down to this line what's going on here so that's two metro stations nice and nearby and they can walk if they want to which then comes all the way over here and then that one goes up there so there isn't any connection to this loop to this metro so that to me would be something we could do i'm just looking at this one here or this one here these two both get yeah so anybody coming round could swap and go on this line or this line i'm just wondering whether we could continue this one here and connect it up to maybe that one if possible what is going on there why is it all above ground we don't above ground we want underground come on now people this is a metro uh cannot build on water what do i want to build on water i want to go underwater all right let's go to the edge there i should be able to go underwater without using the anarchy mod slow too steep okay for those of you that don't like their metros going underwater we've got a nice metro bridge coming along here which i think will work out very nice and it comes along here and i want it connecting up to this metro somehow we've got a lot of stuff going on here i think i might just add it you know onto the other side of the road like this let's delete a bit of that let's connect this up like so and then i'm gonna just put a little a little pedestrian bridge over the top let's just do that let's just do that yeah so somehow let's just six seven let's get that back to street level why is that underground come on now street level thank you very much just like that so they can cross from one to the other let's just move some of these trees out of the way thank you very much thank you very much thank you very much so now they can get over there if they so desire let's just move that a little bit closer there we go excellent and then we can just set up a route from here down here over the bridge down to there and back again excellent and then if we want to we can then also add oh this isn't oh that isn't a metro that's this one comes down to here doesn't it oh okay i meant to bring that one down to here didn't i let us just delete that line and do it again so it's going to go from there to here and then it's going to go through to this one which is turning into a bit of a a station for changing over to different lines which is fine there we go excellent and then i was thinking about adding this one up there to connect to over here as well so you've got a couple of options so where could we put a metro station next to that really janky we could literally just drop that in there couldn't we and then run that underneath yeah let me do that and there we go the line completed again we've got another little metro bridge running over the top and trying to make sure yeah they can easily cross over and get from one to the other over there this isn't too busy so yeah that's fine excellent so hopefully that will help facilitate the moving of some of these people over to this side of the city so how is our high woods going over here 166 out of 166 workers so basically it's just resources now to get us up to the next level we can start providing even more jobs on this side of the city unemployment is at 21 good gravy i would also probably add in let's add in some like uh offices over here because that will help with some of the jobs that will also take up some of this need for industry that we've got over here there we go and that's not going to slow down this expanding i think we probably unlocked something else have we now we're no we're not at the next level yet so let's just run this for a little bit and then we can come back to it also just looking around this city there's not very many easy ways to walk to different places so like we've got this place here is so separated from that i mean there's a little road that goes underneath but having some nice walking bridges just over the top in a few different spots you know to get over to your work and that sort of thing would really help so i think what i'm going to do is i'm just going to go around actually i think this is probably better to go underground won't it let's do this one here there we go and we'll pop that down here run that underground back up to the surface again i didn't quite line that up perfectly but that's fine and then we can sort of wiggle this through here doesn't have to be a perfect path does it there we go so that'll add to there and that could even then yeah people can walk to go over to here yeah i think we're definitely going to add some walking paths around here at the cost of a few businesses i would probably say but that's not the end of the world [Music] it's quite handy when you've got these little parks set up here because you can hook a load into the side of those at a path i should say and that works then for getting people across without removing any of the houses and things which are there very good very good so i've got this one here i've got this one i've just done a little winding one over there to connect those two that one over there so i think i'm just going to go around the city and just add a load of walking paths in and any places where i think they would help because also what you've got between these areas all of these is we're using a highway roundabout roads because of the way we've got these road networks set up so we could use our pedestrian bridge builder and do some inner roundabouts do some tunnels do all sorts of things let's just go for something like that there we go and that will get them from one side to the other and that's a quite easy quick setup that doesn't get in the way of anything else there we go fantastic and i might just see if there's any other options like this massive one here um yeah i don't know where that's gonna work there to be honest because it's gonna put it over the top of our park this one here could probably do with some connecting the different road it doesn't connect to these roads here because there's no walking paths on there but the other roads it works on any others we could just sort of plop that on this has got the ones underground i've done that hasn't got any so let's pop some on there there we go i don't think that's got any either oh and that's got a metro right in the middle i'll come back and fix that in a moment that has got crossings but i'm going to eliminate them by putting that on yeah um and this one down here's already got them that one doesn't need them yeah that should be fine right just having a look over here at our industrial area this is clearing up nicely what i've done is i've whereas before each of these roads was connected to this main road i've made it every other one so that halves the amount of junctions and traffic coming up here and then i've alternated it on the other side so we've got not connected here connected there vice versa all the way along which has really helped i've also added a little bypass here because most of the traffic was coming down here and just going all the way through to come out over this side so i've got a little bypass here goes underground and before each of the roundabouts there's a oh i need to sort this one out whoops there's a little road that comes down joins the underground bypass same on here and then it comes back on over here and this is all set up so all nicely and smoothly flows through which is what we want so that has really helped with the traffic around there which is fantastic why are you stopping there if we got some sort of weird oh yeah we need that there there's no traffic lights is there nope that's fine and also over here i've added in a lot more offices this is where our forestry industry is this is built up nicely and this is just chipping away i think we should be at level three very soon so 402 workers which is more than we need to go up the next level and we're almost at the next limit um for yeah resources so that's good so we look at our people only 19 unemployed there's still a lot of unemployed people i've been building up like an office district here we could make a little i.t district as well but i'll probably keep all of this for the forestry and maybe we could add a few more offices in here but so far it is looking good uh traffic over here is pretty non-exa look i said about how this all works perfectly fine it obviously doesn't everywhere uh let's just fix this can i delete that under there oh 77 traffic flow as well which is great there we go pick it up and replace it and now we get the extra long version of the metro station i'll just curve these around so i probably could do with going through and doing that with the others in case any others get stuck but as it stands that's not looking too shabby and like we said the traffic in these areas is okay as there are people yep lots of people using the walking bridges which is exactly what we want to see what about over here not so many walking through here and what about yeah over the highways we've got some using them as well which is brilliant so that is looking fantastic what about using our little bypass road is there many people using that there is look i need to come along here and flatten that but there's a few cars coming along here i might actually add a little weigh-in along here at each of these junctions or sort of halfway through i think that might be a good idea let's start from say here let me flatten this out first it's all over the place right and then what i'm going to do is in between the two junctions so we form another sort of t junction here is connect that to get together there like so we'll do dedicated turning lanes for each of those and then i'm going to say you give way and you give way so these two main roads go through but you've got the option of turning and joining this main highway if you want to and we also as we go along here need to do some dedicated turning lanes on these ones so let me just set this [Music] up and there we go and again we're giving all of the cars more options to get to different places which is always what you want to do with your traffic and there we go we've got a nice little buzz of people coming along the back here cutting out and using that hopefully shouldn't get too busy on these little crossroads yeah that should be fine that should be fine excellent aha look at all these people crossing over from our adjoining metro lines as well that is also something we want to see and they can walk along here and jump on the train which is absolutely brilliant and then over here where this big road joined to this big road on the bottom here and i've made it set up like this so whoops there we go so no cars are crossing past each other blocking each other up and if they want to go the other direction they can come down go around the roundabout and come back along again and that is working out much much better so how are we doing let's take a look overall not too bad this is all okay we're always going to be a bit busy over here because of all the industry that's up there but we've certainly spread out that traffic to over this side which is fantastic lots of people using our new metro cut through which is exactly what we want so that's really good as well and as you can see we're plus 26 000 we've got nearly seven and a half million over there and the city's growing which is another fantastic bonus and traffic is 75 which i've got to say considering how badly this city was built i can't believe how bad it was considering we're getting closer and closer to some of our newer cities but yeah i must have been on a bad couple of months when i built this one and i'll be honest with you we were mostly concerned with the natural disasters weren't we that was the idea with this map maybe not so much worried about the traffic because so much stuff was being destroyed that was probably the case so thank you very much for watching if you enjoyed this episode don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss out on more city skyline content also there's a video on the screen for the dyson sphere program over on my second channel some of you didn't know i had a second channel well go over there and check that out and i will see you all very soon for the next one have a fantastic day take care bye
