Zoning of course affects how much traffic there is - sprawling suburbs and offices will always be easier to keep the traffic moving in compared to dense high-rises and industrial areas. The percentage score is a crude measure, you also need to watch out for any specific problems. Tl dr: TMPE mod, dynamic AI, timed stoplights, DDI, roundabouts, more pedestrian walkways.ħ0% is decent, I'd say 80% or more is "good". Then again, everything is functional at 70%, so you could also just think "good enough" and start detailing your city blocks. #EminentDomainĪlso, you have stores spread out everywhere, so you're gonna need to make changes in a bunch of places to maximize traffic flow percentage. I will say this: sometimes, homes and stores must be destroyed for the greater good of better city traffic. You might also consider elevated/underground pedestrian walkways so walkers won't cross streets and get in the way of cars. But organized traffic lights takes some time to set up, especially if it's your first time. As you already know, roundabouts still get choked by extremely heavy traffic. Each will improve traffic flow, but beware. Some of your red local intersections could be replaced by roundabouts, or be better managed by custom stoplights through Traffic Manager: President's Edition mod. Tip: make sure ground is flat, it prevents complications with manipulating the DDI. With the DDI, use the straight roads for heaviest thru-traffic, and the curved roads for the rest. Look in the workshop for the one with a lot of trees, it looks nice and works pretty well.

That is, if you don't mind preventing pedestrians from going through those areas.
Your two main roundabouts seem all right, though diverging diamond interchange would work better for the cars. 85% minimum (scientifically backed data, I swear on my grave).

Your view of the traffic flow rating is completely up to you.Īre you a sadist? Do you have a lot of sinners and infidels who deserve nothing less than traffic hell? Then your traffic flow is a disappointment.Īre you a kind person? Do you truly care for the wellbeing of your people? Then your traffic flow is still disappointing.
