- Mini Motorway got an update! Mini Motorways is a highway engineering puzzle game and in this video I, a highway designer of 10 years, see if my real life engineering skills help me become better at the Mini Motorways puzzle game by taking everything I have learned so far to the extreme to fix bad traffic!

You should play farm sim 22, it would be great to watch you play it!
BTW, love the vids 💙
Will you be participating in #Thankmas ?
I can’t because in my country, it’s summer :(
yessirrr
RCE, Engineers are best!
I feel like the game could do with another item: the stop sign. It would connect three or four roads at 90 degrees, giving the right of way to a 180 degree pair of roads. Cars with the right of way wouldn't slow down when going straight, but the other(s) would have to come to a full stop before entering. Basically a rigid traffic light to allow for something of a main street vs side streets.
They could also make T-junctions slightly faster than crossroads. Or at least make slip lanes faster
I see you've been to Wellington then.
Yield signs would technically work better I th8nk for that exact idea
Yeah but I think route-planning is all down to the individual drivers. Who suck at it. That's the challenge of the game, sculpting the roads so that the drivers, with their 3 little neurons, have to drive like sensible people whether they like it or not. They can't add features that just make it easier, that convey your wishes to the little drivers. Everything has to be a tool that works in a certain way. The nearest thing you get to "help" is a motorway, and they're limited.
I love it but its advantage would be its downside i think it would only do good in the beginning
Imagine shops opening at random with no demand (*cough* yellow *cough*) and then blaming the city when not enough shoppers show up
That happens ALL the time!
Seems like an accurate representation of real life 😂
US suburbs be like:
It makes sense that Wellington is a super hard level. The council has spent years trying to improve things and getting nowhere.
Ah good to see a fellow council member I am from the gamer division where are you located
Wow it’s very rare to see someone else with my surname, never mind from another country! Hello from another fellow Teesdale, from Liverpool UK 😁
I am from wellington so this is pretty familiar to me.
Haha the hilliness of Wellington certainly doesn’t help! Either way it is still my favourite city (totally no bias, because I totally don’t live there)
@@epicfriez Same here too!
I am not an engineer nor do I have any knowledge in designing
RCE: Hello, fellow engineers!
Me: am an engineer :)
I agree with this
Well engineers don't design, that is only the pesky architects that does that
@@GummieI
Yep. I learned that there are only 2 types of RCE viewers: engineers and architects.
And I know which one I am.
@@GummieI As aerospace engineering student I must sadly admit, we do have to design, however, we design for functionality, not for prettyness
I am not an engineer nor an architect nor do I have any knowledge in any way of designing other than drawing
RCE: hello,fellow engineers!
Me: *-*
Also me: what . No %age applies here. I’m dumbfounded.
My brain: the same thing

@@lewismackenzie7533 Yes I agree it is a shame that he feels the need to hide the fact that he is an architect but at heart is one.
Wish me luck on my Engineering exam!
I got a B+!
You have been whisked 🍀
Edit I spelt that so wrong lol but I keep it lol
Good Luck💪☺️
U have been wished
An engineer doesn't need luck. Architects need it
Good luck mate
If I played this game, I'd regularly pause, remove EVERYTHING and try to build it more organized. It would be chaos lol
all the cars have to finish their current routes and the new roads don't exist til then. late game road construction can easily tank your run
Ye maybe just delete and rebuild the roads that are unnecesary/Inefficient.
(I forgot how to spell unnecesary)
i agree but would be a bit hard tho like whenever feel like things are getting chaotic immag just remove everything and then like find a way to connect the stuff better
@@Cenn_Devel
Can we just appreciate the fact that matt would of had to wear a greenscreen suit over his face to record that merch plug
Who says it's even him?
@@thomasphillips885 you've got a point
I mean even if it was him it's not that much of a discomfort, green morph suit suits work
@@LooseFlannel Fun guy at parties I see
@@Kosii yeah, at the parties you don't get invited to scrub
Matt, I’m so happy that every single episode you explain the game over again, many people would get upset about the redundancy but I think it’s really important and nice that you spend the time to explain the rules so that everyone is aware of what’s going on
3:20 top tips! Shop entrance count as “driveways” so cars won’t slow down for them unless there’s a car coming out, like houses.
5:00 you can see the lil blue guys doing just that 🙂
Is this true current day? I got the game a couple days ago, and am trying to be a fellow engineer lol
@@steveyk.7099it sure is! The shop connections are driveways like the houses, so they don’t slow down the road just by being connected.
Wow my home city in a game, unheard of. Surprised how accurate it was with the massive roundabout there (Basin Reserve), and Mt Vic tunnel. Just no bridges or tunnels over the harbour in reality. He gave it a good go
he protecc
he attac
but most importantly, he motorway matt
Good
Am I wrong in thinking this is a prime example of a good time to totally rip up the layout mid game? Feel like that would fix a lot of the issues
I think it's technically possible, but the cars have to drive back to the house to get rid of everything... it'd put a big queue and some time on the timer at minimum
@@snevs03 just like real life construction and road closures!
City Planner Plays did a video where he did a 'Mulligan Monday.' Basically, after getting each week's upgrade, he'd look over the road network and see where it could be changed. Worked fairly well, though some commenters mentioned that he didn't change *enough* each week to be effective.
@@brigidtheirish i thought that was on Metro-
@@snevs03 Maybe? I though he tried that with Mini Motorways. They're similar games, so I may have gotten them mixed up.
It’s 2:30 in the morning, can’t sleep and this video came across my main TH-cam page. I don’t know if it’s the game, the voice, the accent or the intro but I am really enjoying this video. It’s truly relaxing and satisfying to see you connect roads and see cars just move from one place to the other. You even made me feel like an engineer in your intro. This is just perfect. Keep going! I really have enjoyed this video so far and trust me when I say that I’ve just started to go down the rabbit hole:) Thank you for making my insomnia (don’t have it, just have a lot of energy still) that much more enjoyable:)
Everytime Motorway Matt posts a Mini Motorway video, an architectural student changes their major to engineering.
I'm a mini motorway channel now...
...and thus the world will be a better place.
f. a c. t. s
8:38 Game: A motorway can't go over mountains.
Matt: *places a motorway over a mountain*
Laughs in Remutaka Hill road.
Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Nevada, California, and New Mexico: I'm about to end this man's whole career.
bro is like "what u cant put motorways over mountains?! watch me
Matt: you don't see intersections too often
Every American that is watching: (inhales) no
I literally felt myself stressing out in abhorrence because of roundabouts
@@tycunningham1297 Are roundabouts designed better across the pond? Because even here in Canada, I never ever want to encounter one. Just seems like a recipe for disaster, even if it's efficient
@@ghostdude9415 As far as I have understood it, they aren’t better designed over here. There are just A LOT more. That means that every driver is used to them, and knows how to navigate them properly thus rendering them a non issue. Here in Denmark people actually complain more about intersections than roundabouts.
@@ghostdude9415 roundabouts are only efficient if they are sized sufficiently for their traffic load, and the largest roundabouts actually still need signal lights to be efficient.
I watch the Australian Dash Cam videos and I've come to the conclusion that any multi-lane roundabout is a terrible idea and should never be implemented.
is i just me but matts thumbnails make me stop everything i do to watch his news video
...in today's news, Motorway Matt is back! Coming up at 10pm, the architecturitus pandemic is on-going, but one engineer is determined to find a cure!
@@RealCivilEngineerGaming lol xD
Glad to see New Zealand getting more recognition in games
Wellingtons traffic is a nightmare and a half. its 90% going up hills on narrow roads. The harbor where you first started building has ships and a stadium near by :D
So it's a New Zealand-made game then? Well, then I'm 'thoroughly' disappointed that they've forgotten that we kiwi's drive on the left. Tut tut.
Would love that as an option in the settings menu!
I’m a New Zealander LAZER
KIWI
Gotta say, love the floating sweater bridgemas openings. 10/10 commercial I'd watch again 👌
Matt: "no we keep our colours segregated in this game"
Me, an American: "ooooohhh I understand you, but the words you're using are painful to hear."
no literally like i just go 😬😬😬
can we appreciate how he explains how the game works every video?
"I think we saved the day" *30 seconds of video remaining*
"Motorway cannot go over mountains"
Meanwhile: EVERY OTHER MOTORWAY IS GOING EVEN MORE OVER MOUNTAINS
Wellington is weird to drive around in, in real life. Awesome city, however! Another great video, Motorway Matt. 🙂
'Kinda like that they hate each other." Isolated green neighbors. Classic Matt.
9:40 that tree smash was personal
Matts best series:
1. Timberborn
2. Mini Motorway
3. Freeways
Yes, Wellington is a bit of a nightmare. I swear after week 3 or so, I am always out of ideas until the Sunday upgrade and it's only Tuesday.
Are you the manager of the LGWM project then?
@@VecheslavNovikov No. Didn't even know about that until you mentioned it.
Wellington is a bit of a nightmare irl too

Love the Magnificent videos
Whew, this engineering is getting positively uncivil.
I reckon the 3 yellow shops and 5 yellow houses was a joke about the terrible housing supply in Wellington
The unexpected brioche at 1:20 got me unprepared, I laughed so hard 😂
I watched the whole series, bought the game and now I am addicted.
Your voice is somewhere between RTGames and DangerouslyFunny and I love it
I bought this game from your videos, and it's one of the most fun and simple games I've ever played.
its free lol
@@brownie3454 not on steam it isnt
@@123_Aqua_Blue it is if you know the right people
@@brownie3454 lol
Hey Matt, love your videos! I actually live in Wellington and would love it if you could take a look at the real life road layout here and see if you had any opinions or comments 😁
invisible matt is super scary, I didn't know it was going to be so spooky like that
12:10 welcome to Wellington 🥲
Insane. I pick a random video to watch about a game I've never seen before and its set in the city I live in.
This is a major POG CHAMP
At 6:21, if instead of connecting that road at 90 degrees, you point it diagonally downwards, I think you end up with one long road and no junctions
I've seen every single video of his on this game and loved it to bits, but I still have no idea how he sees shopping bags in the pins above stores
theyre upside down
RCE, you gotta admit, noob road from thumbnail has a much stronger shape!
“Screw you, pasta!” Is probably the funniest thing I’ve heard today.
It's fun seeing names you recognise (live in wellington)
Funny thing, but motorways SH1 & SH2 originate from wellington irl
I can't believe Real Engineer has a invisible friend, it's so impressive.
Thank you for posting Mini Motorways again.
Thank you for doing Wellington
Let's go I live in Wellington. There is also a mount Vic tunnel. Love the content.
I can't believe how long we waited for the Mt Vic tunnel
We need more mini motorways

He just couldnt make up his mind :)
Honostly i wouldve done the same thing XD
*ME*- An upgraded shop
*MATT*- this shop has turned into an IMAX cinema
HELLO FROM WELLINGTON
Im so happy my city is being Represented in this game :) :) :) :)
Just downloaded the game! Can’t wait to play!
I remember back in the day rushing home to watch the new mini motorway vid , good old days
As a white American, Id suggest yall wear headphones unless you want everyone around you to hear "segregation" and "separate the colors"
Keep this game going Motorway Matt!! Love it!!!
That’s cool, Wellington is in New Zealand, it’s the capital, mount Victoria is in Wellington too, very nice
AMC needs to pay this guy for all the "IMAX" advertisements lol
Ngl it’s nice to see you get dealt a crappy hand on this game. You inspired me to get the mobile version, and I’ve been a daily player since, but have so much trouble with things spawning in impossible locations! Then I watch your videos, and everything seems to work out beautifully for you - even when you’re intentionally screwing with the game LOL
Notes for myself:
- Bridgemas
- Tunnelmas
- Possibly Portalmas
- Anything you played with mas
- Santa bridge
- Santa tunnel
- Also anything you played with Santa
- Random stuff no one will see

Heck yeah NZ recognition😌
on point ads 10/10, would recommend it to my family whatsapp group
This went from convenient to relentless faster than my brain could process, man... Which isn't much but still
Yeah, and mine it seems!
@@RealCivilEngineerGaming Matt... is it possible that we are.... half-architects??

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for faith-departed
And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud

My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just want to live while I'm alive

Yeah, this is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina, who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder, make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky, got to make your own breaks

I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive

My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life
Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down
It's my life
And it's now or never

The engineer secret we are disembodied sweaters that leave our heads at home.
can we appreciate how matt got an engineering degree just for this video?
Been watching since 50k subs glad still growing and if your reading this have a good day or evening
Just been excepted into uni to study a masters of engineering. Let's go team hard hats
I never get bored of mini motorways
...This mess makes me quite appreciate living in an area where the towns all at least seem to have been planned from the beginning and thus follow a simple grid pattern for the most part.
Some places like Wellington were planned before settlers had even gotten to the country, and so they weren't awear of the hills and such, so you get super steep hills, with roads that don't account for that and things
@@tuih4118 Fair enough then.
yes the best game on this channel is back less goo
Finally this game came back
This looks so much like the mizkif merch Christmas sweater!!
Motorway Matt should play Teardown to destroy some buildings by architects.
that “hello fellow engineers” looks like the “hello fellow scratchers” from griffpatch
Bridgemas sweater + Australian at Christmas = doom
Bridgemas sweater + Australian at Christmas in July = happiness (Bonus for people who live in Sydney)
New Zealand represent 🇳🇿
15:13 Matt not realizing he just made a knob.
The strongest shape
I had no idea it was a kiwi made game - we love to see it!
man, wellington is such a cool place but, potholes….
Mini Motorways is what happens when roads are built according to buildings instead of buildings being built according to roads. Also known as spaghetti.
Have you considered playing in dark-mode? I want to watch these videos but they are burning out my eyes D:
Turn your brightness down cave goblin
You know with the level of skill that you have I think your could become a civil engineer
yessss it’s back!!!
15:21 is Matt being a architect
I know how you're supposed to use the traffic lights in the game what you do is use them at four ways it where multiple colors integrate so basically it's like a roundabout but you could stop one car color and have the other go through so it doesn't congest multiple colors together and make it hard to make out where to go basically traffic lights if you get enough of them they're basically better roundabouts to where it doesn't get congested as much
Wow that was a good level, nice job
not me connecting all the roads immediately and saying "i want them all to be able to visit their friends"
Lmao all of this to finish placed between a cassoulet and lasagna 😂
Wellington!! Welcome to New Zealand 🇳🇿
Matt is my 2nd best youtuber mind i wathc over 200 other youtubers
I just blinked and you are at 800K subs, the heck, I remember you as my little
