This is just a thread dedicated to Cities: Skylines. I tend to get carried away when talking about it so, rather than clutter up roll call, I figured this was a good spot for it ![]() I've managed to get myself all the monuments now and have a couple of million saved in the bank. Know what that means? Time to bulldoze and start a properly planned city instead of something that grew by necessity. Wish me luck!

FUCK INTERSECTIONS!!! How do you nicely join 2 6 lane single direction highways?!

Scrap that. Aside from it not being a good idea to make intersections over a river I figured out I just needed to simplify things a bit and take the two roads over the other side for connection. Derp.

I tried making a connection to the highway. It's a complete mess and doesn't work as intended. I'll take a screenshot when I get home. |

There are a few intersections available but they're all so huge. I have a few that worked ok but I've found the constant, one way connections as you can see in my first pic, manage traffic flow better than single entry points. Edit : Here's my city so far. Sorry for the average quality - playing on my laptop. My only issue with this city is that I bulldozed too much industry and now my high density commercial areas don't have anything to sell You'd think, being this close to the highway, they'd have no trouble importing goods but I guess not :S![]() Edited by Derpstrom, Mar 27 2015, 05:52 PM.

It's been awhile since I've played, but here's how my city looked when I last left it.![]() |

Traffic has become a problem for me. You can see it backing up as cars enter the city. They've got 6 lanes to play with there, but for some reason they're all hugging the far-right hand lane

If you look from the top, it actually looks a little like the Cricket Australia logo. It's either a funny coincidence or I'm really keen to see Australia win the World Cup.

That's because you've split the end into single lanes. See how they all want to exit bottom left of screen? The only one -way ramp that goes that direction is on the right (their left) which is why they queue. That's why I replaced my ramps with three-lane to three-lane joins. One annoying thing I've found, which I think is actually a bug, is that they tend to only use the middle lane when going up a ramp. I had a three lane one-directional road that went up onto a bridge over an area and then back down again. Every time the queues of cars hit they all went into the middle lane to climb it then back into their own lanes at the top. Kinda annoying but it did teach me not to have bridges along a straight ![]() EDIT : I still had one of those clover intersections that came with the game in use and it's a good example of what I meant. }:[

I might be misunderstanding your post (being end of week and all that), but the area I think you're referring to is where I mentioned traffic is entering the city. There's no traffic jam getting out, just in.![]() Here's a closeup shot. ![]() There's at least three lanes there for them to turn right, but they all stick to the far-right. |

Oh... why are you all driving on the rightey?! Lol. It most likely means that their destination is that secion on the right side. Cars tend to get into their lanes very early. My entire highway is blocked by this ramp for example. Can't be driving down ramps on the left or right lanes now can we?

I feel that your game looks much better than mine. Do you have any mods installed to improve the display?

Yeah, I think you're right. Most of those vehicles are trucks and the industrial area is up the road and to the right. They're probably sticking to the right lane to turn later. Silly virtual drivers. As for mods, nothing that changes my visuals. However, I do plan to try that Mirror's Edge mod later! Here's my settings. ![]() I think the only thing I changed was the tilt shift.

My town has gone down the shitter. Wonder if I can just start a new town nearby and leave this one to die. |

You'd think, being this close to the highway, they'd have no trouble importing goods but I guess not :S
