It may be tempting, but you will run into problems because of the dumb nature of sims. This will allow incoming cars stop and get off the streets.Īvoid dead end roads. I don't know so much but its definitely smart to put some park-n-rides near the region entrance. I have been seeing recommendations that park-n-rides are better than Bus stops because of limiting cars vs just transporting walking people.
CITIES SKYLINES ROAD LAYOUT FREE
One of my more traffic free city (80k pop though) has 95% medium density stop signs and hardly any stop lights. One of my worst traffic-jam cities (120k pop) has 100% avenues with 4-way intersections. Basically anything you can do to lessen the burden on your traffic (including limiting 4-way) the better. Street Cars get stuck (apparently only if they have a lot of intersections, one-loop is OK), too many Buses flood from the region, Buses follow each other around in packs, Service vehicles get buggy and get stuck in the roads. The reason for this is it can cause gridlock when compared to T-intersections because there are less "left turns".Īlso note at the moment mass transit is buggy so it causes general traffic problems. This strategy does cause a lot of intersections so I may have to do some tweaking later.Īlso, as I noted above, avoid 4-way intersections as much as you can.
Avoid making new "shortest path" roads since that's the direction your Sims will want to take by default. I may not have the perfect spacing here, but that's the general idea. In order to drive to work the sims will avoid driving on all those side streets and basically FUNNEL them towards the avenues. The reason I say this is the job requirement for Commercial and Industry High Density buildings is much much larger and will wreck your city if you're not prepared for it. Stick with Medium (or Low) Density roads. If a sim can WALK to a local shop, he won't have to drive, and we all know traffic is the bane of everything negative in this game. It's important to mix your commercial and residential together closely. It was enough to get this much roadwork down. This is my first time doing this from the start so I hope it goes well!īefore this point I took out 3 $25k loans. It basically involves a lot of T intersections and L-shaped roads to get the main traffic on your avenues and avoiding the side roads. Okay so for this plan I'm using a road layout system of Halby on YouTube. Just remember to get power, water, and enough road area for initial RCI. If you have a grand plan in advance regarding road layout, you can afford the hit in your monthly income since early on you will have NO service expenses so income will flow fine. Speaking of funds, do NOT be afraid to take out all 3 loans. Either you can plan out and place your cheap roads first, then destroy roads later, or just slowly expand based on your funds. There are two ways to go about this like you said. In my case its north towards my highway, meaning my industry/dirty polluting things will be at the top. Note this direction because you want to place industry down wind and inital water away from that industry. Second, look at the direction of the wind. First thing is to draw your main avenue out.
