Biffa: Violates his own rules of traffic by not having enough ways in or out of a section of the city.
Also Biffa: Considers destroying that section with meteors, instead of adding an additional entrance/exit.
If he had added another highway exit it could have been too much near the one he already has or he had to buy another square, and I am not sure that he could have done that without waiting to grow over 15/18k of population
He is quick to criticize others but actually isn't great at managing his own traffic. Entertaining videos and all but now I'm actually good a traffic management I realize he really isn't that great
@@jackkerner6562 one could just spend few minutes at a busy intersection in order to end good at traffic management in cities skyline. When I watched the "fix my city" series I always thought that the city was build by a 12 years old that never stopped to watch what real traffic is and learn from it
@@automation7295 Go watch YUMBLTV and TwoDollarTwenty. No disrespect to biffa but hes objectively not that good at this game
meteors leave no evidence of building error...
There are underground metro stations on the workshop with 0 noise. Some say that’s cheating but it’s super unrealistic to say no one would want to live next to a metro station. Some of the highest rental property values are next to them because of the convenience so… take that C:S
No actually people generally don't like to stay near metro stations but yeah those r elevated. Underground metro stations don't actually have much noise which comes to the surface.
But yeah elevated metro stations and at grade ones do have a lot of noise pollution and people tend to not live close by. The rental value also makes it kinda unaffordable for residential zoning and so you'll mostly find high density commercial and stuff near metro stations.
There one asset on steam that's a Power plant in a little building that's basically free power lol
@@サッティクサルカル its the foot traffic that is unpleasant near a station, as well as unsavoury types hanging around.
If nobody wants to live near a metro station and it raises property values so that only businesses are nearby... who the Sam Hill is riding the train? I live in a suburb with an above-ground metro station nearby. Is there some noise? Yes, but it is absolutely a feature that makes more people want to move to this neighborhood and aside from a corner shop it is all residential all the time (to the point that it's actually a hassle to get to the nearest grocery store.) Crime isn't a big issue, it's well lit and we have a good PD. Oppertunists go for the easy target and the dingy, less used stations elsewhere absolutely qualify. Some suburbs only have outbound in the morning and inbound on the evening, and that's going to ensure that only the more affulent people with regular 9-5 hours are coming home in small numbers later in the evening. Way more dangerous than a busy train. C:S seems to go too hard IMO with how powerful the "sick from noise" is for these stations compared to real life... but hey, it's a video game and it is going to do simplified things. As the risk of mugging goes down because people aren't alone in the station the noise of large crowds and the chance of communicable disease goes up.
@@サッティクサルカル I totally disagree mate. Come to London and see how residents prefer to live near underground stations, overground stations and light rail etc. There is minimal noise and it totally enhances a residential area.
In the U.S. we have loads of big box stores such as Wal-Mart, Target, Home Depot, Best Buy, etc, and they all have large parking lots. Sometimes you would see several in a row too or maybe one with a strip center on one or both sides. Anyway, I think it would be a unique challenge for you to see if you can do that. It's something I haven't seen any other youtubers do. I always add them along with other American restaurants and stores into my cities, otherwise it's just unrecognizable.
I'm in the process of locating assets to build something like this based on Milford CT! I live in the country, a drive through there recently blew my mind.
I try to incorporate those into my runs of this game, it adds that extra little realism to have huge shopping centers and parking lots galore.
And don't forget those drive thru fast food restaurants!
@@TheSkyGuy77 Yeah, we REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, love our fast food in America!
I feel like simply disconnecting those roads that are super close to your main road, could help with the traffic issue?
I came to say the same thing. If Biffa just disconnected the road closest to the 🚦, it would allow the cars to stack up further until their chance to get on the main road. I feel Biffa’s downfall is that sometimes, because he is the creator, he is too close to the issue and misses the simple solution. (I hope that doesn’t sound disrespectful)
Sever the connections for the first couple local streets into the collector, to create a longer block leading into the main arterial. That might give more room for traffic to stack up for the traffic signal, and back up less into the neighborhood.
💯 💯
They put three roundabouts in the small town I'm from in North Carolina. They are not common around here. Once they were finished we had so many people not using them right. One elderly woman kept going in It the wrong direction. She kept treating it like a regular junction.
I know it's a game and that its just "USA inspired" but a small USA town of 10-15K could never justify the cost of putting in a metro, let alone an underground metro! A lot probably would not even be able to afford a competent bus network. Just my opinion but I still love your videos!
I live in a city of 30,000 and have 2 bus lines running through the whole city. No trains. No metros. Just that.
Good job we have an incredibly generous and rich mayor ;-)
In my city of 26,000, we have like 3 bus networks and an Amtrack station that only sees one train a day. Our city council decided to spend our covid relief money on new golf carts for the city course that no one uses...
Maybe make some roads pedways that are clogging up near the main street. I also have to say, the gap between the road and that one paved foot path is truly maddening!
From my perspective, a lot of your public transit is very repetitive. Most routes taking the same routes and serving similar functions. I like the P2P metro, but the tram basically follows the exact same route as the circular metros
You could just detach the small roads close to the busy intersections to give more space for everyone trying to get through. Just end the street in a stub to keep the zoning. Hope this helps!
I know you don't want too many junctions on that main road coming onto the city, but I'm wondering if you haven't gone a bit too far in some places. It seems like adding a few other ways to get in and out of those big residential areas would help. I'd consider adding another road from your industry area road to the first residential area closer to the roundabout. That might bring more people that direction instead of down the main road. You seemed to have solved it temporarily with some timed traffic lights, but in the long run, something else may need to be done. And eventually, some of that will be solved by another road along the railroad tracks that connects to the highway and brings people in from another direction.
Cloud, Aerith - Quick, we need to heal the city!
Biffa - * *summons Meteor* *
I've said it before but I love looking at the trams in this game. It is just so cozy
Love the video Biffa
The Intercity Bus Hub you have used also has bus stops underneath the roof you can use, so you could move all the bus stops from the Bus Hub to the Intercity Bus Hub.
Biffa is slowly descending into madness in this one, hopefully he survives by the end of the series
That quay wall near the train station needs a guard rail for the road!
i mean . . you could just hook in the outside power connection . .
After everything in Blighty, I’m surprised you haven’t put in any parking lots yet. You need to add lots off the main arterial so they stop using your residential neighborhood as a parking facility
I would change those first roads in from the tram corners to dead-ends; don't let them meet the main road and force anyone going in or out of the block to go to the second grid road.
The problem with saying that you have a USA themed city is that the USA has a ton of different regions that are quite different from each other, to the extent that that some regions feel very foreign to people from others. If the city is named after the state, you are pretty stuck with the deep south, but if it is named after the river, it could be in the Midwest as well. Neither of those regions is known for public transportation, although a few of the very biggest cities there do have some.
It's named after being funny :-)
Is there even a single USA city that's known for good traffic? And I mean good to the standard of Amsterdam or similar.
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines That's fair. I'm just trying to provide some context as someone from the US. This city does actually make me think a bit of some of the newer communities in the area where I grew up. The downtown areas of 'relatively' older cities like Pittsburgh are smashed into small areas and have little room for new roads, so you end up with very odd traffic patterns and block shapes (4 consecutive right turns might not get you back where you started). When larger businesses like Amazon or Tik Tok put regional HQs or distribution centers in now, you end up with rapidly growing semi-suburban regions outside of the bigger city (in the Pittsburgh area, I think of Cranberry Township). These newer areas really do try to put effort into intelligent planning, so while they might not have their own subway system, they would if they could afford it. They are far likelier than other areas to be willing to use traffic circles and whatever else is most efficient. They also seem to attract STEM schools, commercial, and service industries.
There are roundabouts in America they are just VERY rare although they seem to be getting more popular thanks to Carmel Indiana having more than 100 roundabouts in the city.
Worth remembering that if this is an American build you really want to avoid relying on public transportation because here in America we're allergic to it. Instead we just throw more lanes at the problem 😂
Carmel indiana is the roundabout capital of the usa
Also i think you need more ways than one into a city of this size. It will really help you out
You have access to the large water tower now. You should put one near the area that was deprived of water.
If I do circular lines I use 2 stations right next to each other but join them up so that it's one like (like the London underground how it has Edgeware Road above ground and below going in different directions.)
Biffa showing how Americans can make their style of cities more walkable! ^^
The headbanging track at 32:28 made me laugh so hard
Not enough fast food commercial. That would be very immersive!
It looks like you’re still missing a single row of residential zoning in the outskirts of brook heights
People need to be able to walk across the tracks...
Puts a walk bridge right next to a walk bridge. XD
Of course we have round abouts in America. What i we dont have in my region is trams. Food for thought.
Miss a sippa tea? Biffa would never!
Biffa! Wrong way!!! In your last video at 6:30 ish to 7:00ish your having issues with the traffic on the bridge and roundabout. It might because your traffic is using the wrong side of the street. 🇬🇧 vs 🇺🇸road mixup. Most days…I drive on the right side in the USA. Most days…🤪 I think there might be a few streets going the direction in that area.
As for the roundabouts is the US. One of the most famous is “Dupont Circle”. We have thousands of roundabouts in the US. And as for my fellow naysaying Americans tosspots that live in a hole. We have roundabouts all over America. 1905 in New York we finally called it a roundabout.
Hi Biffa, I thought 81 tiles will sink your metro everytime you purchase a new tile, is the issue resolved now? or am I missing sth here?
I have a name suggestion for your metro lines in Spring Hill. How about "Spring Hill Loop"?
Those junctions are definitely just too close and both major junctions. I'd get rid of that one with the home on the corner and just make it a cul-de-sac.
Thanks for the entertainment as always :)
Ever heard the term "Stroad" lol
Indeed I have :-)
Biffa recognizes a problem then ignores it and goes to do something else. Now you're thinking like an American!
🤣
I'm in the 7th largest city in the US and we don't have a metro, just one infrequently running regional Amtrak stop. Lol I'm so jealous of this tiny town of 10k.
Mississipatea is a fun name for this game, I like it!
Two things Biffa, if your not flying by the seat of your pants why are you flying? and you can not please everybody, some people refuse to be happy! Cheers, Thank you for your effort and humor. :)
Too true 🤣
CS is more of a traffic manager than a city builder
Oh dear, I think I can hear the intro of country roads.
I missed the naming vote woulda suggested Teaslyvania or Teannessee
we have roundabout but area that don't need them and I have travel in every state and the big city have not a lot of roundabouts but small city have a lot
The low density grid probably needs a third entrance in the middle of the road instead of just either end?
Do you happen to know how to add and remove vehicles to the lines while using Transport Lines Manager? I've looked everywhere and can't find it. Thanks!
Biffa for Presidentea!
Woo Hoo like 192! Loving MississipaTea thanks Biffa!
Should have the bus hub at a higher elevation land than the train station.
Love the content Biffa Keep it up
metro dude and if gets too much meteors is the answer lol and wicked name chosin too lol
but why did you make a separate station directly next to the existing one? cant you just have the loop link up to the main station and also run the point-to-point line through as well?
Дякую за роботу та відео 👍🔥
Nice Video!
Glad you enjoyed it :-)
Ha! That was my suggestion! Love you Biffa!
Can't download this video. Why?
"The idea is to make the city as mass transit and walkable as possible..."
I thought this was an American city? ;)
:P
Just pretend it's Portland or Chicago or D.C. or NYC
There are plenty of walkable US cities. If Biffa wants to keep it realistic, he just has to make sure not to extend it much further than the city center.
LOL! Right? We have some buses where I am. During rush hour Monday through Friday. No sidewalks to get to them, but that still counts, right?
@@automation7295 I know, I know! Just some good-natured teasing from a fan! :)
I'm not complaining how Biffa's playing the game. I think it's great! I'm just making a joke that we here in America are (well deservedly) known for terrible walkability and public transit.
hah ya seriously roundabouts are way more plausible before functional public transportation and any consideration for pedestrians
I love this game but the way they let you build a metro in a small city of less than 20000 people is kinda funny. The town i grew up in had around 35000 people and we barely had a bus service let alone a metro or trams
I think the devs said that the population was off, because of limitation on hardware, I just assume that it s 10 to 1 and it makes more sense.
@@lepotdefleur9906 i hear ya. But using your example that would mean biffa is currently at around 150k residents which seems a bit high for the 3 neighborhoods he currently has. I get your point tho and it makes sense.
The town I grew up in has over 1.5 million and there is 0 passenger rail, above or below ground.
@@sobertillnoon The town I grew up in has about 30k and we have train, tram and busses. OK, we are right next to the capital of our state and neighbour another city of similar size.
@@kaltaron1284 my point was that in the US, population isn't a good marker for whether or not a municipality has rail.
I think the biggest issues with that "main road" is that there are only two points of connectivity. If you add another way in from the main road to the middle up towards the park I think that would solve a lot of it. If you look at the traffic patterns it would be interesting to see how many people are coming into the area on the ends and then making an immediate turn to go to the middle. We just don't have any connectivity in the middle from the main road. Only the ends. So EVERYTHING is funneled there. Even if it was a one way in it would elevate some of the traffic flow.
I was going to suggest the same!
Yes, even a walking path ( or 3) on that side of the street from Main St to the residential area would be a big help
I agree, the huge square needs a connection or two more on that bottom side from the large main road. and i would add walking paths overhead and remove some of the crosswalks across that bottom road as well.
Also the trams using the same road to access the main collector makes the traffic worse, they could get their own tram road, no cars but allows pedestrians
hey Biffa, when you start naming districts could you name one Libertea?
Libertea Siptea?
@@mandowarrior123 How about Kwikcipaty (pronounced "quick sippa tea")?
Teacaucus or Teacupcus after Secaucus NJ?
Libertea Gardens
When/if he gets to building a harbor, he should call it "Oops": A safe mooring where in the days of old they thought the kettle was filled (but in actuality tea was sadly only spilled).
You can't do metro's in the USA themed city. USA's public transport infrastructure is known for being horrendous. You just add more lanes like they do in Texas and pray that it gets better lol. BTW if Biffa reads this I just want to clear my self. I am not trying to alter how you play this campaign. I was just trying to make fun of USA's public transportation infrastructure. Hope I did not offend in any kind. Much love.
Denver has a great light rail system. The Metro in DC is good. Even New York's subway system is good despite being ancient. But in general, your post is 100% correct. Especially the Texas bit. Every time I go to Texas, I am stunned at the amount of roads. Its like real life Mini Motorways.
@@apolloj23 All the Southern States are poor and are kept poor since they lost the Civil War.
@@apolloj23 yeah the east coast has alright public transit.
I 45 moment
He's already constructed more roundabouts than the average American town, unsubscribed!!
Suggestion: Pop down a ball park or a baseball stadium in this build somewhere and have it setup like a common asset between the west part of a district and the east part which has been the decision ground for the age old rivalry between the two districts plus to top it up pop down a couple of rugby or American Football fields alongside some nice high schools in the two districts for the same purpose but this time it's inter-school rivalry thing but somehow the whole district's involved.
This is absolutely a real thing that neighboring hish schools do in the USA. Football rivalries get wild. Woe be the nerd who wore blue in the red part of town on game day by accident.
That's exactly what he did in Blightea, with a football field between two neighbourhoods.
Just delete the two lane road directly opposite the main road, so there isn’t a junction right off of the main road. You’ll end up with enough room for people to queue for the next junction up the road and for the main road junction without blocking the box, plus you can fit in more houses or businesses in the space where the road used to be- or hell, make it a pedestrian path!
Looking at your need for industry, and with the new tile unlocked, it's definitely time to look again at that abandoned industrial area you identified in episode one.
Unconventional suggestion: how about a smaller transport hub right outside the city on the highway (think gas station) that’ll take people in and out of the city using public transport? Could be cool and efficient! :-)
Have you noticed that you can turn on "Allow Right Turn at Red Lights" in Traffic Manager's Options? It's a thing in America that means traffic turning right can ignore a red light and would make it closer to real life traffic rules. That would at least help the traffic line at 22:32. Also, Auto-Dedicated Turning Lanes is a thing :D
Yes, that would make it more realistic. Many places in the U.S. allow right hand turns on red unless there is more than one right turn lane (in which case only the curb lane can turn on red) or unless the particular intersection has a sign stating otherwise.
I believe he mentioned this in an older video! I'm not 100% sure but I think it might have even been his British-style city!
Hi,
maybe an additionnal metro stop in the agricultural area could help. I would also have droped one in the center of crest square and a second one towards the far end of the other area
You could disconnect the first road right by the intersection
Well Teattle will live on in my heart. Can't wait to see how Mississippitea will develop.
Mississippitea doesn't even make sense given the map features, not exactly a lot of mountains in Mississippi. My vote was for Teattle also.
We start with great news today as the city is finally named Missisipatea. This will make things much easier for intercity post , We at City News will be keeping our name so don't worry about that folks.
The much anticipated mertro system began construction with statiions at the Brook Heights shoping district, Cret Square and Spring Hills. The location of the station in Spring Hills has raised many an eyebrow, as it is directly behind the elder care facilty the was relocated several weekes ago right after its intital construction. That not all as the tram tracks have been redicected to loop around the facility. What grudge does Mayor Biffa hold against the residents of this facility?
Despite the addition of the metro and the mayors commitment to walkability inter-city traffic remains abyssmal with tail backs for miles. A new bridge has been construsted in a desparete bid to resolve the situation. The main road has also been widened remomovng planters and parking in order to improve traffic flow. These fixes seem to be working for now but will they hold up as Missisipatea continues to grow.
New offices, parks and trees are sprouting all across the city, but they may soon dry up as a lack of water once again becomes an issue within the city. With both sewage and fresh water facilities struggleing to manage, it is a advised that all citizens keep a stock of bottled water on hand at all times.
The possition of suggestion manager at the Mayors ofice has been filled by Hugo. They say they "have no idea, if they will ever be able to processes all of the suggestions, but are willing to do their best" . We wish all the best for Hugo and a out dear readers here at City News and look forwards to seeing yoou all in the next issue.
I agree with the previous mentions of removing the connections of the "problem road".
I would add:
1. There are no cut-throughs between the main and problem road, even next to the metro station.
2. The problem road is busy because some shops are facing the road instead of the main street. That is causing more traffic on a road not built for it.
Please don't be offended. I love this series! You and City Planner are my favourite TH-camrs.
Hi Biffa. I don't mean to be too critical but this is suppose to be an American / USA Style build, but this doesn't really remind me of the USA at all.
The suburbs wouldn't really be that close to High Density housing. There would be more office parks, shopping plazas and so forth in the suburbs. There may be downtown business districts with shops and office space in a given area, but that's about it.
There would unlikely be as much public transportation that you are putting in. Bus service would be bringing people to specific shopping areas vs school bus services that would be around neighborhoods and bringing kids to school.
There definitely wouldn't be a metro in the suburbs as that's something for a large downtown area like New York City. A suburb may have a commuter rail that has 1 stop dedicated for the large suburb to bring people to downtown offices and business areas in a New York City.
Trams are just not common at all in the USA as it's mostly car centric in the suburbs. Though they do exists in a place like San Francisco but they are called cable cars.
Also some assets like the old brick factories and old brick houses you use in your British City build could be used in here if you were creating an older city like Boston. Lots of old areas with factories look like this and housing for people who worked in the factories looked similar. Search for US Mill Buildings if you want to see areas that look like this, they are usually always around rivers because of commerce back in the 1800's
If are you looking for an accurate USA build it may behoove you to go on Googles maps and look at some cities and their associated suburbs outside of the city. I
Just some thoughts, obviously it's your city and should do what you find fun.
Maybe a connection from the back of each side of the city to the motorway might help with traffic, currently every citizen must use the same road to both enter/leave the city, take a tram or cross between the two halves. One road is doing EVERYTHING
Can I just say, I live in Milton Keynes. We are known to be roundabout city. We have over 130 roundabouts. And our city was designed by an American. Just a little bit of trivia for you.
4 days after getting city status - not a roundabout town anymore!
There are plenty of roundabouts and light rail in the US. Maybe not in every viewer’s exurb but it’s called Cities Skylines folks
Took the idea of craigavon in northern ireland and expanded on it, Made it much bigger, I think he was involved somehow when craigavon was built, but it never really got finished. It was supposed to connect portadown with lurgan but lay largely uninhabited or built on until the last 10 yrs or so.
Hello fellow Mk citizen, i must say i thought it would've been over 130
@@smad66 Hello there! Well it might be more now as new districts are being built!
Make the one way out road a dead end or non existent. Then you have “two” blocks they can stack up instead of one
Hey Biffa, since the city has name Mississipatea, you could place a statue of a lady in the middle of the roundabout at the entrance of the city and call it "Miss Sip a Tea". You could build the origin of the city around this lady whom imported tea for the first time in the valley
Biffa, the great challenge is all those close roads, I think. Doing a square grid is the toughest for traffic... 🤔
It looks super unrealistic too. There are only 2 houses on each block. Most of the land area is roads.
To reduce the traffic congestion maybe try making the first 2 streets one way, allow the cars in to those first 2 roads then they can exit 2 streets up, that will stop some of traffic congestion, hopefully!
The only issues with this solution is you would still have cars wanting to make a left across traffic which would slow the cars getting out onto the main road. I think the best notion would be to disconnect the first road off the main road. That would allow cars to queue back without interruption and get out faster when the lights change.
This isn’t a American city, it doesn’t look like and American city
American inspired. Not a copy of an American city
I would removed the 2 roads on the backside of those junctions.. and the main road i would add another junction in the middle.. YA it would turn the T into a 4way But it would add access for the Hi density directly in to the low density area instead of having to do a reach round. Also i would add 1-2 more metro stops on the loop.
Cool! You did the thing with conjoined lights and separating cars from trams. I find that the coolest thing ever. I have seen some people do some of the most stonking cool things with that.
16:46 A full on bridge/overpass thing isn't necessary here, because there is a bridge built in to the asset already and there is a spot on the end of the platform for a path to connect.
9:20
I've always wondered, why do you use the American 'counter clockwise' rather than the English 'anti clockwise'?
I know it's appropriate in this case as it's an American theme build, but you do it in your other cities too. I was just wondering as your accent clearly means you're from this side of the pond.
You should check out Cyterion’s metro stations on the workshop. They are basically Vanilla underground stations, but have a bunch of different orientations not only parallel to the road. They also can have multiple platforms! Although some people in the comments talk about silent stations, these are not.
In the US we’re constantly swerving around potholes in our roads so a couple meteors would be very realistic. Also man-made lakes are pretty common in US flatland areas so there’s a 2nd use for meteors.
Biffa's American city is super realistic because American traffic makes you want to blow up the roads with meteors...
Biffa I think it would greatly help to have more connector streets between your residential blocks and the high street. Right now you only have one at each end and it really seems as if it's the volume going through those two intersections that's causing the problem.
When you made that Main Street bigger, I immediately thought “Ah, now that’s how people in the US think” 😂 I’m curious to see how this city grows!
i saw a video about tram lights at a times traffic light, you can set them when there is no tram waiting to stay red
On the busy intersection change the one way street to have the first one IN only and the second one OUT only so you give more space for the cars to queue
"Everyone's going to complain, but they'll just live with it" sounds like the Mayor of my city
Use all pedestrian underpass instead of bridges exist as well and often in suburb areas and transport areas it may make a better view
You should look into some covered footpaths. Those are pretty common, especially for paths going over roads in metro areas.
Biffa gotta do a traffic fix in his own city 🤷🏻♀️😂
You can't turn left in most of the 4 roads junctions in my country. Unless you have a traffic light just for that
16:40, Is it really a car park if there's no spaces?
at 36:03 the straight on traffic from the top can keep going while the traffic from the bottom goes, they are not bothering anyone, just the ones crossing over from the right (right as it is on the screen.) top bottom and right as we see it from above
I would choose a Metro of Meteors
Wait no, a Meteor of Metros, Yes!
