Think of it as a tree where the trunk is the highway and your houses/industries are on the smaller branches. Your highway should exit to a road that can accommodate a lot of traffic (but less than a highway) and this road will feed a lot of smaller roads. On one hand the concept of hierarchy is simple, big roads feed smaller roads, big roads are for longer distance travel. Good luck, and sorry for the information overload. You will also need extra services in those areas. They have up to 4 times the cims than low density counter parts. It gets worse with high density commerce/districts. The balancing is going to be the hard part.
Only build offices where you want them, and make room for industry so they can provide freight to them. less than 1km for walking distances.īuild commerce/industry on the highway and next to each other so they have quick access to freight and each other as freight goes from industry and delivered to commerce so the can sell goods to cims.
Residential creates workers to go to work, so have commerce/industry close by for quick travels to work. Any more causes delays from odd traffic lights, waiting for each other. It hates short blocks and will backup traffic quickly.ĭon't make them too long, as everything is on a timer. Always make road at least one full block.
