You have way too many intersections on your artery roads. Kill at least two thirds of them and have the rest branch out.

Every intersection on your main roads slows down the flow of traffic so you want to space them out, preferably up to 30 tiles between each. That way traffic will move through quicker and not build up jams as quickly.

You also have a small road on the right that end up serving as an artery road. Either upgrade it or add a new wider road to serve as the artery.

think of it as water, let it flow where it has to go, stop it where it doesn't

Is this game worth buying? Steam reviews say it's kind of too easy.
>>
Roundabouts
>>
>>343309967
that's tiny and already getting clogged up though
>>
>>343310117
Well depends what you want, and how you define too easy. It's literally impossible to fuck up in this game no matter how shitty city you'll make you will always profit so in that sense it's ez as fuck. If you want some chill game about city building it's really fun if you want some try hard realistic city simulator in which you have to do everything perfectly then don't bother.
>>
>>343309720
Also if you're going to use roundabouts, use bigger road elements with more lanes. Highway is useful like seen in the prebuilt large roundabout, AI can use it pretty well.
>>
>>343310117
It's only too easy for city building vets. Otherwise you have people like OP, who gets clogged at 500 residents.
>>
>>343310270
I alter when it gets to the red. Orange is acceptable for me. Cars wait for an extra 2 seconds, no big deal. When I get the area with the highway, I'll add another exit for the top part of this part of the map for extra coverage (as you can see, I did not buy the land with the highway on it yet). I'll adjust until everything is orange or below.

Never have traffic problems and I haven't implemented public transport yet.

>>343306913
It's worth watching videos about roads on youtube so you get how it all works

even the trains jammed for me

Don't put intersections so close to each other and to the stations. With rails you want them to be very far from each other or the trains will get in the way of each other.

I got this game during the steam sale and I didn't play it nearly as much as I thought I would. I always get to around the big city achievement and just get bored and stop.

Shitposting taken to a whole new level. I guess that's what happens when you piss off the mayor.
