Traffic and money Problem

[boreal cove]

I have a 68% traffic flow and with that it also caused 2 issues in my city i would keep losing money, and some commercial buildings would not have enough goods to sell and i dont know how i would fix that

[brazen kayak]

Send traffic map

[boreal cove]

using CSL map view right? or is the traffic map different?

[brazen kayak]

Trd

Traffic map

[brazen kayak]

Are your roundabouts set up

[boreal cove]

yeah i also used roundabout builder to help out

[brazen kayak]

Have you checked signals?

And merging

Also what sbout Transit

[boreal cove]

also good i think

[brazen kayak]

Could I get some numbers and maybe a line map

From what I can tell the issue seems to be people trying to get from one side of the city to another

If u don't already have, a metro or even tram from one side to the other could really help

[boreal cove]

i had tram lines but they have broke im working on fixing them i dont have a metro yet and my bus lines have 4,000 residents per week and 414 residents per week

I'll give marking one of these up a go, although I'm sure some experts may want to weigh in on the merits on my ideas

here's my first plan

suggestion 1 at the top is looking to create a closer link of that wide arcing road at the top to the highway
it seems that since the link isn't being made, cars are piling up trying to use the lower capacity roads to cut through the area, instead of using the route with the most capacity

suggestion 2 at the bottom is a possible solution to the woes at the bottom of the screen
I think people looking at this will come to the consensus that the junction entering the area is too close to the big interchange of the two highways
so it's in your best interest to move it down, I suggest the location with the green circle
however, you've also got that big road running right by the highway
so I figured you could keep that road, and just reroute it to meet the road involved in the junction a bit further from the interchange
I do see there are buildings on the route, I'm not sure how able you are to rearrange them
if you can shuffle them a bit, then the plan should work
maybe others can weigh in on whether this is viable

[fading merlin]

how much money do you have and around how much are you losing every week?

[boreal cove]

I have about 7.3 mil and it would fluctuate any where between -7k to -50k i also just did the fixes you suggested now it seems that the roundabout is getting backed up in the first solution and the second one it sort of fix that issue and my traffic rn is about 66% to 68%

[fading merlin]

in the second you didn't move the junction back

that was why I suggested to free the space up

the first is an oversight on my part, I should have anticipated the roundabouts being too close

[brazen kayak]

I think you might have a stop sign or light at the end of that junction

[fading merlin]

here are my improved suggestions for the two areas
first one is just moving the roundabout down a bit further from the junction, and adding another connection so the trucks distribute more evenly
the second is just a location for the new junction (building it as simply as the previous diamond could be enough)

I hope this helps for this area at least, I'll be off for the night though

[boreal cove]

yeah i did have a stop light that i missed and i have fixed that

[brazen kayak]

That was likely a massive issue

Check elsewhere in your city then let it run

[boreal cove]

yeah it did

[boreal cove]

i had like 2 stop lights that needed to be removed any my traffic is at around 69% - 71% now

[brazen kayak]

Much better

In a couple of minutes lots of the traffic will be gone

Also that roundabout had too many lanes

[boreal cove]

fixed the lane issue on the roundabout

i just noticed a nother problem though

my time fast forward doesnt work on any setting it just goes day by day

[fading merlin]

Nice
I was working on marking up another area last night, I'll finish off the drawing to help you out in the farming area today

[smoky hound]

Main city idea: underground highway right through the middle of the city (yellow line)
crossings are interchanges
Blue - aterials
Cyan - collector to help the roundabout

I did pretty much the same thing in my city, and the traffic flow went from 59% to 83%

And red cross is a removed trumpet

In this case i would add more connections, you are funnelling the cars to go from the forestry industry through the farming one and that causes the trouble

Not enough connections, yellow is highway and blue a aterial, you are funneling cars

This one: I would space out the intersections in some cases, and add a roundabout to help the intersection. I guess you will expand here next?

[boreal cove]

How would I do the underground interchanges? Can you show me how you did it in your city if you could?

[boreal cove]

alright

[fading merlin]

Unfortunately I might have to renege on making the farming drawing today, I do have a thing to finish off tonight
I will hopefully get to it tomorrow though

[boreal cove]

alright sounds good

[smoky hound]

Cloverleafs?

[boreal cove]

alright i see

[boreal cove]

were you able to finish off the farming industry? if not thats fine
