I'm a very novice player and I have tried everything I can to mess with this traffic. There's just too many tourists using one singular interchange.

#

Here's a few more pics of the layout

The simple answer is, you have two big cul-de-sacs. Consider creating more access to/from the highway

I thought that too and added some connections, clearly I didnt get it though

#

Where do you think I should try to add more connections?

#

Adding more connections only works if it is faster for some (but not all) cims to take them. I would add more bridges over the highway to make it where not all cims have to go through the interchange

Oh, I didn't see the ones further out.

#

Narns' idea makes perfect sense

I'll give it a try, thanks!

Like for example where the metro line is

devout sand Dec 7, 2022, 10:34 PM

#

Oh yeah you're right I just realized there's only two roads into the downtown area from the rest of the city

#

And the metro itself could be made quicker and therefore more used if you rotate the station near foundry park.

#

you mean to make a straighter line?

clear sail Dec 7, 2022, 10:35 PM

#

I would also add another stop in East Teasly to pick up more people

#

devout sand you mean to make a straighter line?

Yes

devout sand Dec 7, 2022, 10:36 PM

#

Alrighty, I think I'll add a few bridges and kinda re do the roads on the other side of the highway and fix that metro stuff. Thanks a bunch man!

devout sand Here's a few more pics of the layout

I had the exact same issue where the only way between 2 sections of the city was through a highway interchange

#

Not ideal

#

its basically two massive funnels into a narrow section without the capacity to handle it

devout sand Dec 8, 2022, 1:54 AM

#

Yeah honestly my road network isnt great

#

I run into this problem where I make a good city well planned out and then I start going crazy with density because I wanna do too much

#

I might try to build on a more challenging map so I can't just plop massive blocks and what not
