How Is This 12-Lane Intersection Working So Well? | Cities Skylines 2
33Welcome back to Cities Skylines 2, where we continue the chaotic journey of building Triangle City, a city that defies conventional logic with its triangular roads and wild intersections. In this episode, we tackle some of the most bizarre traffic issues you’ve ever seen, thanks to our 12-lane triangular intersections. Triangle City is growing faster than expected, and with more residents comes more traffic chaos. You’ll see how we attempt to fix these issues while staying true to the unique triangular road layout that defines this city.
As we expand Triangle City, the challenge of keeping the flow smooth through these intricate triangle-based roads becomes even more critical. This episode dives into creating new residential zones while balancing industrial growth. The demand for housing and industry is skyrocketing, and we’re left trying to squeeze every possible triangle into the limited space available. Somehow, despite the madness, the city remains efficient and continues to attract more residents.
One of the big focuses today is solving traffic flow around our major intersections. We’re experimenting with converting some of our crazier intersections into roundabouts while maintaining the triangular road structure. It’s not always successful, but it’s always interesting to see what works and what causes even more gridlock. The combination of six-lane and 12-lane roads meeting in these triangle-filled intersections leads to some truly unique situations that only Cities Skylines 2 could deliver.
We also look at how our infrastructure is holding up under the strain of this rapidly expanding city. With more triangles comes more problems—garbage, water, and power management all become critical issues. We need to find space for additional utilities, but the challenge is always making it fit within the triangular design. In typical Triangle City fashion, even solving basic problems requires unconventional solutions that fit within the grid of triangles.
Our exploration of Triangle City’s potential continues with expanding into new areas. We unlock additional land to see just how far we can push this concept. As the city grows, so does the complexity of keeping traffic flowing smoothly between the clusters of triangles. You’ll see us tweak, adjust, and rebuild roads to optimize traffic flow, all while keeping that distinct triangular layout that makes Triangle City so unique.
At one point, we dive deep into the intersection design, aiming for perfection. There’s a lot of trial and error as we try to find the “magic pixel” that allows us to create the ideal intersection. It’s a tedious process but one that’s necessary if we want to keep the city functioning at this scale. The result is a series of intersections that are both a marvel and a headache, as the game struggles to keep up with the complexity.
We’re also expanding our industrial zones in this episode, making sure we have enough jobs for the growing population. It’s a delicate balance of fitting these zones into the triangular layout without causing too much pollution in the residential areas. Triangle City’s unique design makes it tough to maintain proper zoning balance, but that’s part of what makes this series so fun to watch and play.
The episode wouldn’t be complete without another look at the infamous “pedestrian pinwheel,” a strange experiment that somehow became one of the city’s busiest hubs. It’s wild to see how the residents navigate this bizarre structure. We discuss whether we should expand the concept or let it be a one-off feature of the city. Either way, it’s a fascinating glimpse into how Cities Skylines 2 handles unconventional designs.
As we wrap up the episode, the population of Triangle City is nearing 30,000, and the city’s growth shows no signs of slowing down. It’s incredible that this city, with all its strange intersections and triangular roads, runs as smoothly as it does. We can’t help but wonder how much further we can push the population before everything starts to collapse under the weight of its own complexity.
This episode also touches on the ongoing struggle of keeping all the services balanced as the city expands. We’re constantly adding new fire stations, police stations, and healthcare facilities to keep up with demand. But the triangular design makes it tricky to fit everything in the right spots. You’ll see how we creatively solve these issues while maintaining the city’s distinct shape.
Stick around to see just how much more chaos we can introduce as Triangle City grows. If you enjoy watching Cities Skylines 2 builds that push the boundaries of what’s possible, you won’t want to miss this one. Leave a comment with your thoughts on the city’s design, and let us know what you’d like to see in future episodes as we continue this triangular adventure.
