22:20 “Daddy why are we flying?” “Oh son, this happens all the time! A giant god with a mouse makes our lives a living hell! It’s all normal.

Alot of that traffic on the highways was due to having scenarios where the on ramp would directly conflict with the live lanes. Just like real life cars need room to merge.

I have an north American solution why dont you add another highway along the coast entering into quincy harbor and in a very north American style destroy couple of homes on the way, i think that would definitely solve the problem ;)

bixton has turned into a smaller version of NYC

Another tip also I found in my game play last night that One Shop can also attract a lot of traffic too as I found out a convenient store selling food was attracting a lot of traffic creating a big traffic jam as I noticed that is where they were all going too which definitely surprised me. So I built a large Parking lot around that area and they all decided to park there and then walked to the shop from that parking lot. So the moral of the story is to take note of why there is a build up of traffic in the area and to check where the people are going. In this particular case they were just going to this food store, must of been good food there. As it was the only food store among other stores in that area.

Maybe you could add a train station to Bedford to make people a bit less car dependent

this illustrates how American road designers act by often adding 1 more lane

16:23 you've got a ton of people walking on the train tracks, wonder what that's about

Love the videos, keep up the good work!

Great video man! I'm stoked to pick up Skylines 2 again after the update is out!

just 1 more lane bro

You increase lanes so much, pointlessly often. It's usually not congested because there is not capacity on the roads, but because the crossing or intersection that is the issue. Then you don't just fix the intersection, but add even more lanes, often when there already are a whole lot of them. So now you have insanely massive amounts of lanes, that are not just not congested, but are essentially empty.

I really liked many of your upgrades and traffic fixes on this episode. I was hoping to see you implement a local/express solution on the major highway connecting west Bixton and Downtown, and Quincy Harbor. Through traffic would connect the harbor to downtown and the west edge of the map, while local traffic serviced west Bixton and Bedford. Nonetheless, your upgrades were simple: it didn’t require major infrastructure overhauling as my suggestion would require, and everything seem to work so far! Great episode.

Adding more lanes does not solve traffic it is called induce demand.

Your trains are despawning

I love the content and your videos, only problem is it’s just not enough and too long of a wait for the next 😁

Bixton location is beautiful i know its not real but it makes me wanna move there

One point of contact. It will do it every time. I try and have the highway connect to at least 2 arterials at each exit (generally above and below) and have each major area have more than one exit serving it. This will allow you to basically split the flow over more area without just adding lanes. All my highways are still just 2 lanes each way, with added lanes only at service/system interchanges and the flow is still good at most times. Your map gets narrow in that one area so that makes it hard spread the flow out. Very nice city!

It's looking like the city needs a main transportation hub for train metro and bus with sub hubs around the city. Plus after economy 2.0 update look into how your cargo is moving around.

Great video Timeister. BTW there are lane management tools out there but there in the way of mods. So it may not help you in this build..

That AI thumbnail is fire Tim!

I think, after watching you bulldozer some things here and the and trying to build areas with no space near the heat of the city.... I think you should do what Boston did. LAND RECLAMATION. It's realistic, and I think it's needed for Bixton. I think you should think about that mulligan.

I suggest getting the traffic mod which allows you to change the lane direction manually. & the traffic light mod will allow you to change the traffic light.

30:30 "So i more or less did the same thing" Lol i was gonna comment that.

I suggest making pedestrian and TOD cities

Lol you can do a whole underground highway loop. Out of sight, out of mind

If the devs learned anything from cs1 the traffic manager mod was necessary to put in cs2.

‘Today we’re going to be fixing traffic’ with more lanes..😬😬

I keep thinking of a bus and truck only lanes, possibly underground?

Stagered merges like at 32:50 work in cities skylines 1 and irl quite well, i use them in my cities. It seens they dont work in cities skylines 2 😢 probs a yield/giveway sign....

My thing is you’re using 2 lane roads as major arterial roads remember the basics main thoroughfares use larger roads to handle larger volumes of traffic. In the real would at least in America the smaller roads aren’t main thoroughfares for the most part. Since you started this city I kept thinking to myself he’s gonna have terrible traffic problems in the future. And sure enough here we are.

Can you do a full day cycle please turning on the daynightb cycle in brixton playthrough thnx.

You have not understood the problems about traffic jams! I can help you explain how it works and resolve the problems of effective maintenance if you want

MORE ROUNDABOUTS PLS.... In real life there are more roundabouts and less lanes.

there is a lane management tool to edit intersections' turning lanes. it is literally called "traffic" so please use it or imma get a stroke with those intersections

Not that it’s a big deal but maybe having bulidings close to the roundabout’s cause traffic, but this comment is premature, still watching 😂

Can you put a save game of bixton on paradox mods

I ain’t gone hold you… that highway is way overbuilt. Rather than creating 8 lanes highways, how about making more options through the city and highway for sims to take to get where they need to go. That neighborhood in Bedford does not need that many lanes. 🤦🏾‍♂️

11:50 AGREED i know it’s a game but the car ai is so dumb

Ill buy you coffe if you shared your game save :)

3:50 thats not very north american

You city problem is that you have only one highway going north to south

if the entire city can only use one road to get to an emergency shelter I think that might be a problem

3rd

Cities Skylines 2 is not a functional finished game, you literally can not play it properly without mods. Just use them until the game gets overhauled in a year or so.

Don't use generative AI for your thumnails dude. It's lame and detrimental to the livelihoods of a lot of people.
