DEATH-care

No, it won't. Vehicles always get into the turning lane well before the turn, so roundabouts are typically filled on the outside lane. Grumpy, your whole roundabout shtick is fundamentally flawed. You used six-lane one-way roads for the roundabout, but you'll never have vehicles fill all six lanes. Using bigger roads to alleviate traffic is exactly what I told you not to do. Second, the roundabout only connects the highway and two intersections on the top and bottom of the pic. This just makes it a glorified overpass, which you've overbuilt to the point of ignoring other areas. Where are the other highway access points? I only see vehicles able to enter and exit from this roundabout, nowhere else along the highway. How many times do I have to say it? Build more overpasses! You can bulldoze this inefficient roundabout and replace it with the simple bridges I showed you earlier. You need to get drastic with your road improvements, because whatever you're doing isn't working. 60% traffic flow is still crap.

I have completely rebuilt a messy large overpass next to the one we were discussing earlier, which ended becoming two smaller ones.
Traffic flow rose to 65% at some point.
After a while, I checked again, it was down to 57% again!

I understand that the more changes and buildings we add, flow will vary.
So, I checked again the 2red" spots and I saw something that I have seen before.
It seems that the game automatically and randomly adds STOPS on main roads by T-Junctions and roundabouts. Is it my impression, or is it something that does happen?

The "glorified roundabout/overpass is furhter left in the map and in between that and the one pictured, is where I re-built two small ones to replace a large chaotic one. The flow turned out really good.

After a while, it all turned red and I discovered a couple of STOP signs on the motorway (set as main road), which I had never added.

I have built more overpasses, why did you assume that I haven't?
I use wider roads compare to the single lane ones, becuse I think that they flow more. I actually managed to raise my traffic flow to 62%, whicis not great but I'm getting there.
I'll repost new photos of the reviewed glorified overpass soon.

Its like you did watch eggs video? Put that 3rd over pass there,
At the start of my latest ive got a beautiful neat and local under pass, im pretty sure thats like 5 minutes in??
We said you needed service interchanges which means some sort of (((over pass)))
Learning to build 1 right and realising its easier than you thought, dont do half a job

In round about service interchange ( very uk of you )
I use a combination of 2-4lns and its mainly just to force arrows, but the bulk will be 3lns, or 2lns

Right, the service interchange seems ok, ramps are a little kinky, use curves more
The 4 lane both ends needs not to u bend,
You have probably replaced a bit of hw to road,

But????
That tbone, wtf bro
Vanilla t-bone works with a little lengthen of ramps

Also every episode of biffa (YT) talks about lane maths. Use it between ramps, less lanes
Expand to 4 lanes 1 node before and take 1 or 2 lanes off
Then take 1 or 2 from 4, thats how many lanes you run to the onramp
The give the in flow 4 lns for 1 node

Or do 3-1, 2+1

I don't know what biffa is (you obviously don't mean the Waste Processing company ) and I need to look for those videos online to get my head around it.

well biffa is a you tuber
watch some of his stuff, its a bit easier to understand what biffa does with his city
but when your ready to go further you can inject a little of mine in there

i wont go nik someone elses "thing". i will say biffa is the right person to watch for you tho.

DON'T take any lessons from Biffa. The guy is incompetent. He's singularly obsessed with lane management as the be-all end-all solution to traffic congestion while creating limited routes for vehicles. He'll pump out traffic tutorials even though his cities are a nightmare of dead ends and bottlenecks, and he REFUSES to learn his lesson. His traffic flow meanders in the low 70% and he thinks he's doing a good job because he's got mods galore. Seriously, he'd be lost without mods. He even tried to build a functional hydro dam once, completely failed, and had to use Extra Landscaping Tools to increase water flow. I know mods can be crutches to some players, and Biffa looks like a cripple using them. So like I said, don't bother with this guy.

Although i think his cities (and the other 3 of the main tubers) are lack luster, mostly boring, too blinkered
And they all do same quality of something i was building on Simcity 2k when i was 13 (ish)

Id disagree at dont watch it, its good entertainment, the guy is easy enough to listen to and is a good place to start for a noob
The lane maths is required for vanilla players, its what we got, it makes a huge difference to the flow
and watching someone do it makes much more sense than my above equation
I also have no issues with cities having closed bubbles, and those bubbles not being able to talk to each other without using the trunk road, so long as they are linked by paths
And yes his mass transit is a mess and i found his airport is boring,

You at least watched my vid yes Grumpy??

Now you mentioned water management, I spend around $1.5m to expand the land at two different spots and ended getting flooded!
Lesson learned now, I built walls and secured these new plots.

i flood my city at least 2/3 times a sesh, there is 1 part of my city that floods on every snow fall
Frozen Falls has at least 1/4 billion invested into land scaping btw, its getting closer to half a bill now
The walls were prob not needed, that was a short lived flood.

I got panicked because I never had floods in any of my cities, so I built a large network of canals and walls wherever I could. When floods were over, I built up the antifloods walls all around the new plot.
When it's time to build it, I will probably demolish them and see if I get flooded again.

I hate quey walls, all of them. Move-it would be a game changer for them,
but im xbox so soft wall, inner-city marina and waterfalls will just have to do
