#Traffic killin me again

what kind of traffic is that? mostly trucks? cars?
mostly cars some trucks
if it's mostly cars, then where are they mostly coming from? is there a way to give them alternatives to driving?
looks like they've got a few metro stops and a few passenger train stops as alternatives - perhaps not enough for the volume, though total pop is "only" 13k so that is actually somewhat decent public transport availability at that size (especially if there are a few bus lines too)
Without having a closer view, it seems they are mostly getting stuck going INto the center part of town, which begs the question of what is so incredibly interesting there that everyone wants to be there?
There's actually somewhat decent road hierarchy going on from what I can tell, but again it's a bit difficult without seeing a closer viewpoint as well. Those are almost all 2u roads so it's unclear to me which of them are supposed to be "arterials" and/or "collectors", or if they are all the same. Based on this traffic I'm curious if some of those roads just need to be opened up a bit with more lanes and fewer intersections for the people just trying to get through. And/or the middle needs better flow so traffic doesn't clog up once it does get there
@sour vigil any chance you could share a few closer screenshots of particularly bad problem areas
Are they residents moving in, or tourists ?
The oval centerpiece could probably be oneway. Would allow you up to 4 lanes and use give or traffic lights better
Or are they shortcuting the highway, by linking between the 2 trumpets through the city ?
Ill Give a few better looks sorry had a busy day of holiday shopping
The outer most roads are 4 lanes but I think I am gonna give making the oval one way a try and upgrading the center road to 4 lanes as well
