What it really lacks is the ability to chose a "theme" for your city beside high tech. I really hope some mods will work in combinaison of assets to get really themed cities, like Hausmann style or 1960 Sovietic style for exemples. | ||

Spacing things out doesn't give you too much of an advantage. I guess it'll reduce noise and maybe make traffic a little less worse, and maybe make further construction/ modification a little easier, but that's all I can think of. | ||

The forestry and agriculture industrial zones that don't pollute still generate noise though and are best with tall buildings around them to block that noise (which can be a tiny bit difficult since those industries tend to have extremely low land value), or to also be somewhat isolated (edge of the city for instance). | ||

1. hierarchy, so do like highway -> 6 lane -> one lane each way -> one way (or something like that) 2. interchanges are expensive, but they really do help free up traffic. lots of cool free ones in the steam workshop, though i really like doing a double or triple circle interchange 3. use big roads if possible (big -> cars move faster, less stop lights) 4. limit truck traffic, build alternate roads for them, closed circuit as much as possible 5. pedestrian paths can work wonders 6. public transit-- expensive, but totally worth it 7. railroads are also really great 8. building high rises is what really starts getting things clogged because of higher concentration of goods and people flowing. they look cool, but use sparingly unless you know what you're doing 9. i forgot the number, but regarding the hierarchy of roads you really shouldnt have more than a certain number. for example, a freeway exit should probably not have to serve more than like 3000, a large road 1000, etc. you can use the districting tool to estimate how many citizens a road serves. 10. learn how to do parallel roads. they are pretty and useful. | ||

The interchange you have to the left is probably just too complicated so stuff gets stuck there (would help if you screencapped that part). You might also just need to add another highway exit or whatever to take some of the load off of it. | ||

Thanks. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=438068782 It's actually fairly straight forward: First I did was upgrade all section of your roundabout and road connecting to it to highway, so it doesn't have traffic light. this made traffic move through it without stopping Then I gave your residential outgoing traffic a easy access to highway, without going through roundabout, same with incoming traffic to industrial, and residential to industrial. I get what you are trying to do, but routing everything into 1 roundabout just create a giant bottleneck. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=438122052 | ||

Man... how do you get 200k population, my game slows down sooooooo much at 100k I think traffic mod really kills it. on the other hand, there is no way I'd play without it. | ||
