I think the lesson here is that you have underestimated the power of parallel lanes. They won't fix everything, but if you have multiple colors heading in the same direction, you can separate them into different lanes by directing each to a different exit and significantly increase both capacity and bandwidth. Lane changes are also less likely to create unrecoverable jams than intersections. You don't get any extra points for being under budget (though perhaps a mode where you do could be in the future), so you might as well use all the road you get!

@DemonKing19951 5 ай бұрын

It feels like the ultimate lesson of this game is, "If you're using traffic lights, your road isn't good enough." Which, you know is kind of a fun idea. Wish the dev included kind of a 'cheater' score which is basically just turning the car on no clip and drawing out the roads in the straightest lines possible. You'd never actually achieve it, but it would tell you the how close to the highest possible score you could get you are.

Can confirm about building a roundabout in America failing. We've had one in my town for quite a few years now and people still can't figure out how easy they are to use. Buddy of mine has almost been in at least 3 head on collisions due to some dummy driving in the wrong direction despite the numerous signs and arrows.

@GamingGD5600 5 ай бұрын

how does it feed? by that I mean where im from I have a fairly common roundabout that when you drive into it you cannot turn left without basically crashing into the center median so it forces you to flow to the right properly

@Jim-Bagel 5 ай бұрын

Roundabouts are inefficient

@DraconasLyrr 5 ай бұрын

@GamingGD5600 that's the part that makes it worse. You have to take a super sharp turn to go the wrong direction since it angles into the curve of the roundabout.

@Gamer3427 5 ай бұрын

About ten years ago in my town they added one to a rather odd spot that didn't need one, (two lane road with the roundabout connecting a small turnoff that just goes to a backroad of sorts), and for the first couple of years there was a new set of tire tracks going straight through the middle every week. People finally figured it out, but with it being the only one in town and people rarely turning off on that side road it connects to, it hurts the traffic flow more than it helps.

@sirmonkey1985 5 ай бұрын

@@Gamer3427 that's because in the US we don't use roundabouts to improve traffic flow, we use them to slow down traffic because they require far less maintenance then putting in lights.

On the last level, one of the things I know I missed, and seems you did as well, is that there's cars trying to get back to the same direction they came from. You did it in the previous level, and the Discord level did as well, by putting in another loop right as cars enter to be able to bypass the entire road network and return to the same entrance.

In the last level, his original design with only 1 lane (and the later one with 2 as well) was/were actually asymmetrical. The left "eye" of the circuitry allowed straight-aheads and turns, and the right only allowed turns onto the connecting road in the middle. This effectively makes the right "eye" of the dumbbell circuitry not quite complete and reliant on the left, clogging traffic up. Great video nonetheless, appreciate the work very much.

On that first one, for his design at 7:00 or so, why didn't he have the top lane take the uppermost part and the blue lane the lower, starting on that very first square? Finding a way to throughput the green/orange seems hard either way, but it'd certainly keep the blues and purples going just fine.
