Pedestrian Overpasss with Stairs

[dreamy ridge]

The game needs better pedestrian overpasses that can be placed over roads so pedestrians crossing the road don't have to impede vehicle traffic. The current ones in game are too long and, in my experience, end up not getting used due to the cross walk (or lack thereof) being used to cross rather than the overpass.

I've seen this suggested 3x times, once by myself, 100% with you! I can't believe it wasn't done already..

[odd lynx]

Don't stop there please - elevators / lifts as well please!

[radiant mural]

Having stairs would be nice. Makes it possible to make these access points without using up a bunch of space on some long, winding ramp

[dreamy ridge]

I was thinking too it can be kept compact, maybe a grid or 2, with a landing halfway up and it doubling back as well

[shut patrol]

Yes! Accessibility is a win for everyone!

[wild zinc]

Just like here, saw it on Reddit

[lethal badge]

Escalator too, but with extra maintenance cost since it can break over time.

[dull cypress]

Stairs would be amazing because stuff like this is a nightmare

also peds still walk across the crosswalk even when they're turned off

[dull cypress]

Bumping this request

[frozen echo]

Yes

[night vine]

We need stairs in general. For example if I want to make a custom park, wide stairs spanning the whole of the park or part would be such a great thing.

[lucid bay]

With stairs you are basically stopping everyone with a bike, a stroller, a wheelchair, elderly people from crossing the road.

Even if the stairs had an elevator this is inconvenient and unrealistic for quickly moving many people across a street and would probably cause jaywalking.

You kind of overcomplicated that roundabout, a lot, it would have been a better idea to not have a major car corridor straight outside the rail station because of it's pedestrian traffic.
The real world has plenty of examples of logical solutions to handling pedestrians at transit stations....🙃

[frozen echo]

In my city there is stair and a long walkway, I'm going to find a picture

[lucid bay]

oh well yes that a stair but also with a ramp for bikes, nice😎

[meager fog]

Ban bikes

[lucid bay]

nah only in heavily congested pedestrianized areas.

and on highway shoulders lol.

[meager fog]

Ban them everywhere

Same with pedestrians

[frozen echo]

Ban you

[meager fog]

Bikes take up valueable space

[frozen echo]

Bro wants Elon Musk to combine everyone with a car

[lucid bay]

so if bikes and pedestrians take up valuable space, what is more space efficient than bikes and pedestrians if we should ban them?

[meager fog]

cars????

[shy dust]

freedom

[frozen echo]

They polute and I want to live in the future

[meager fog]

Polluting is a benefit; and future is not on earth

[frozen echo]

And all the polutions makes all buildings look bad

[meager fog]

It’s not even pollution because it’s cleaner then y’all dirty ass trains and your electro vehicles that spawn outta nowhere

[meager fog]

Then paint it every few years???

Or remove the trains

That make it so dirty

[frozen echo]

Cars polute and put out carbon dioxide

[meager fog]

They dont buddy, ever looked at trains??

[frozen echo]

They do if they're not electric

[meager fog]

Carbon dioxide, let’s just kill more cows easy, or create more cows and then kill faster

[frozen echo]

Cows put out another gas that is worse for the envirament

You know that you are going to get banned if you say this on every suggestion

[meager fog]

Cars emit 100g of co2 bro is being influenced by the media Thats like „OmG we nEeD to bAN cARs and rEplAcE tHEm wITH diRTieR tRaIns“

[meager fog]

You started it

[frozen echo]

Trains don't polute and cars do, trains are faster, and I want to live in the future.

[meager fog]

The future ain’t on earth 🥱

[frozen echo]

Then where are the future

[meager fog]

Well I will fly now have fun with your bicycle

[frozen echo]

Answer my question

You haven't done any research @meager fog

[meager fog]

Deny me one fact

[frozen echo]

Cars polute

[meager fog]

They do the least in the planet

[frozen echo]

And the only planets we can realisticly colonise is mars and venus

[frozen echo]

What do you mean

[meager fog]

Venus? Let’s cook!

[meager fog]

Trains buses do way more

[frozen echo]

But we don't have the geological skills to transform them

[frozen echo]

Not trains if the power is sustainable like in my country

[frozen echo]

Electric buses like in my city

Trams

[meager fog]

Sustainable meaning creating a metal tube with some fins that spawns outta nowhere that can create power for 10 years

[frozen echo]

I don't understand what you mean

Trains don't polute

If the energy is sustainable

Cars do if the're not electric

@meager fog

[blazing abyss]

👍

[lost whale]

@meager fog probably jerks off to cars and highways

[lucid bay]

cars are restricting freedom in most cases....When i say we should remove parking, always somebody says, What AboUt disabled pEoPle they need cars. Well no, you cannot go around your house in a car, drive in a stair, go inside a shopping mall or go to the toilet in your car lol, it is still really unconvinient to take the car around with you everywhere lol. And there are always better alternatives. Like mobility scooters and other things.

[shy dust]

it was a joke 🙏

[lucid bay]

yes i know

[shy dust]

oh

[lucid bay]

well i assumed it was a joke

[shy dust]

walkable cities are objectively better

[bleak girder]

i dont think that should be under any discussion tbh

absolutely

i find the general idea of giving people the option of stairs fine for parks, etc, but i dont think its something really needed tbh

[thorn dew]

the world isn't only for you

[mossy fulcrum]

I wish they bring this back
My city is not the same since they disabled this
At least give me a choice to turn it back on ffs

[dull cypress]

What would they be bringing back?

I'm not sure I understand

[mossy fulcrum]

Because it made the city seem realistic

Now it looks like a dystopian police state or a robot city

Tbh I'd be happy with a setting I could tweak so I can see my cims walk across the street without having to use a zebra so it doesn't affect the rest of the players

[dull cypress]

Are you saying you want people to cross the street when there's no crosswalk?

[mossy fulcrum]

Exactly, it's realistic, we all do it and it's not illegal everywhere
There's been plenty of discussions on this topic already on the forum and here

[dull cypress]

I wish that the crosswalk visual was just a visual and then you could turn on or off the crosswalk

[mossy fulcrum]

I would love cims to walk across on a red light etc

I'm trying to build a UK city and the zebra in the UK just means right of way for pedestrians so it's not just a decal but a slightly different mechanics attached to it as well

[lucid bay]

Yes, would be cool

Red pedestrian light in Sweden basically just means yield to cars passing.

[meager fog]

Problem right now is that they don’t yield lol they just block the cars

Or even better let us link building from pedestrian bridges or tunnels so that problem doesn’t even exist

[mossy fulcrum]

That would be lovely, I'd love to be able to link building exits to side roads or paths as well but that doesn't exist

[lucid bay]

maybe main roads need to be kept outside of high pedestrian areas in CS2?

[meager fog]

maybe people just shouldnt walk

[lucid bay]

Then cars would get absolutely nowhere.

[meager fog]

nah no pedestrians == efficient roads

[frozen echo]

Bro want to fly to his parked car

[meager fog]

you park inside a parking garage which is linked to the mall/convenience center/supermarket/etc

[frozen echo]

The future doesn't exist if we don't stop using fossil fuels

[meager fog]

k i just randomly decided to fly to australia cya

[lucid bay]

The future won't exist anyway. This world is only for a limited time.

[bleak girder]

Limited edition

Limited time yes, but multiple times shorter if we don't give a shit

[frozen echo]

But I want the limited edition to be out for at least a litle bit longer.

I think we're aprouching the great filter

[lucid bay]

what is the great filter?

[spare widget]

for replicating the stairs i actually thought of using the asset in the railway station upgrade for multiple platform but i couldnt extract it using the find it mod

[frozen echo]

I theory in science that every civilisation encounters a specific problem that nearly noone survives. If the theory is right i think the filter is climate change

But if we get through the filter we can be one of the biggest civilasations in space

[lucid bay]

I think all of humanity will destroy itself, no matter if we go to space or not.

Because we have over centuries become more stupid more fragile, physically worse, mentally worse more allergic to everything.
We could build pyramids, today there are people who think America is the name of a country and that people are speaking Mexican in Spain.🤦‍♂️

Both earth and humans are being destroyed.

If we live in space we can't build up an immune system and we will die there too.

We are designed for earth and if we leave we die, if we stay we die, doesn't really matter.

[frozen echo]

Our brains are made for hunting and gathering, not our society. With a lot of time they will change to the better and us humans could build floating made made worlds in the solar systems that could support a many times bigger population than right now. If we fix climate change we might be percentage wise just the begining of the human race
