Title: Cities Skylines: Traffic Simulations and Freeway Designs
Post by: Guysdrive780 on June 15, 2018, 07:13:26 PM
I wanted to start a form for anyone who plays the game Cities Skylines and may use it as a Traffic Simulator or to test Freeway Designs. This is a place to share those designs.

Here are some rules:
1. It is ok to talk about the city you have including name. Do not talk about other cities services unless its warranted as apart of highway discussion.
2. You may suggest highway type mods to the forum.
3. You may give challenges by sharing your city files with the group and challenging us to design an interchange for it.
4. You may give suggestions on how to improve design interchanges.
5. You may collaborate
6. Have fun.

I will soon start putting in challenges into the forum in maps that you may download.

I designed this large intersection about a year ago with permissive-only phasing. With traffic waiting in the intersection, the flow was still very high due to all the traffic turning during the all-red phase.

I would also suggest for this forum that you should get unlimited outside connections, you never know if I may do something like try and use a bunch of highways at once
