Gridding as tightly together as OP did is inefficient. It's fine with less intersections.
>>340462535
>yfw someone is developing a magnasanti for SC4 or Cities Skylines right now

Other than the potential for gridlock, grids themselves aren't inefficient. The pattern offers the most choice to motorists and have the fewest choke points.

No you fucking asshole. If you actually knew anything about traffic planning, and I mean absolutely anything, like complete elementary basics, you wouldn't need more than two street brides in addition to the highway.
Your street planning is literally just throwing down a bunch of fucking squares. And then you wonder why you get problems.
>>340462834
Grids are not traffic planning. Planning traffic requires making a route from point A to point B. A grid has no functional purpose in terms of directing traffic. It only serves as an access to local neighborhood houses. If you get out of the neighborhood and are still in the same grid, your city traffic management isn't doing their job right.

>>340465465
Traffic planning:
Highway connects to Primary streets.
Primary streets connect to Secondary streets.
Secondary streets connect to Main roads or Neighborhood roads.
Main roads are roads inside a Neighborhood.
Neighborhoods can be grid, spaghetti or any unique shapes. It doesn't matter. It makes no functional difference what it looks like.
What matters is the planning of roads that form long distance travel routes. Connecting a Neighborhood directly to a Highway, and making multiple on- and off-ramps means a complete and utter fail.
In order for the Primary and Secondary streets to function, their access to Neighborhoods must be limited, either by physically blocking the access, making connecting streets one way that do not enter into the Primary and Secondary streets, or using traffic signs such as Stop and Yield which give way to traffic on the more important streets.
>>340465440
>>340465801
Yeah, you're right. There is no need for traffic planning. Just make grids everywhere and let drives drive what ever route they want. Having to stop for intersections every 20-100 meters doesn't cause any problems whatsoever. Driving at walking speed is good also.

that doesn't matter either. In real life, it would, but CS' AI is so fucked it will always take the shortest route. Therefore, certain routes will be overused due to right hand turns/grid cornering will provide the shortest route to destination.

Advice for making my cities actually look like cities? I just end up with a bunch of looped districts that link up to the highway. There's no cohesiveness to them like>>340468087 and >>340467072 and development always stalls once I hit a certain population with no where to build new districts or no way to expand the old without throwing everything out of whack.
>>340468540
Earlier development shot from a thread where I was explaining how one-way flow is supposed to work.
Four large, self-contained urban blocks with no way to get between them except for mass transit, pedestrian paths, or highways.
I laid out the highway system first, and then "filled" the urban areas, with the idea that any of the 8 ways "in" could get to any of the 8 "exits" without having to exit to one of the urban blocks. I figured I'd just slap an elevated ring around where the two main highways crossed, and everything would just feed into and out of that, but of course that didn't work perfectly because of congestion, so I had to modify it. Then modify it more. Then modify it more. Eventually it ended up being the tangled mess that got meme'd.
>>340468037
The ancient Chinese city of Chang'an had a functional grid system.

Luke's so fucking ugly
How do I make Cities Skylines use less RAM.
I have 16GB of RAM in my build and Cities alone can use over 10GB. Between Firefox and just general processes I have running on my PC it can and does periodically crash because it ran out of available RAM. Total usage for all processes is usually about 15GB when Cities is running.
It does use less with no mods but I don't want to have to run the game completely un-modded in order for it to just be playable.

I tried that initially, but it ended up causing too much congestion on the initial area after leaving the monster. In later versions with more volume flowing in I had to eliminate that initial intersection entirely because simply having anything there at all was causing massive congestion from the sheer volume coming in.

Beware that all the rivers flow into one which is ultimately where you'll be dumping your sewage. Quite quickly you'll be producing so much sewage that the outlet river will reverse direction and flood parts of your city with sewage. I was playing vanilla at the time so my only solution was to dam the outlet river and force the sewage downstream. A better solution if you intend to play the map is to download one of the sewage treatment assets that makes sewage disappear.

Buses are shit tier because they use the road. CS doesn't have trams. At least the normal rail roads can go underground.
Metro lines need to be circular so I would design it like a circle and you can drag the end points to wherever you want. As the game is now, it's possible to accidentally create loose ends for your lines that you can never recover. It's a bug.
>>340470164
Highways don't work like that, anon. people on the right side of the city can only go towards the bridge, on the left side they can only go away from it. You need to build proper connections like pic related.

Buses are pretty rubbish in heavily built up areas, but they're useful for moving people from their homes to subway/train stations.

Yep. That was kind of the point, though. I wanted an excuse to build an intersection that would actually need all the Z-axis road building capability.
