These vehicles are spawned by the region and various buildings. Game has hard limits on the number of vehicles that can be active at the same time which is about 16,000. The Traffic manager mod allows for despawning (teleportation) of vehicles to be turned off showing the real state of the traffic in and around the city.
In order to prevent a disaster, that is triggered by traffic jams and the city's service vehicles inability to reach problematic places in the city, we have to understand these vehicles, where they came from and how did they create that traffic jam. First question that we need to ask is: what types of vehicles where in that traffic jam? Well, the common traffic jam is made up by every type of vehicles: regional vehicles, delivery trucks/vans, cars and city services.
First up I will write about, Regional vehicles. These originate, as their name implies, in the region, outside the map, and they have two types. First type are the ones that are just in transit trough your city and the Second type are trucks and delivery vans who drive the loads of products for industry or finished goods for commercial buildings in your city. Both of these types do not have a home building in your city. They leave your city, and the region, after completing their deliver or if they are of the first type, they just transit through your city. Depending on their objective, you need to provide adequate road and highway network, so that they can finish their objectives quickly, and not create traffic jams in your city.
Delivery trucks/vans originate from industrial buildings inside your city. They spawn at industry buildings and, depending on their type and cargo, have objective to deliver products or goods to the next building in the chain. Having separate zones in your city that send out and receive these vehicles, you increase the amount of time and space these vehicles need to finish their routs(jobs, objectives). If you produce more then you spend in your city you create extra traffic with exporters which need to find a way out of the city and into the region. Providing good, direct and fast connectivity to highways or cargo hubs becomes a must.
Cars are Cims personal transportation vehicles. You can't eliminate their arrival from the region in their cars, when they are at first moving into your city, but you can reduce their need for cars once they settle inside the city. This can be achieved by zoning workplaces close to residences, by adding pedestrian paths, and numerous public transportation options.
City services add up to a large number of vehicles. Garbage disposal, Firefighters, Healthcare, Deathcare and Police to name just the main ones. Huge cities require very high numbers of these vehicles to function. And each type has it's objectives that can be made obsolete if they spend too much time in a traffic jam. A Garbage truck that doesn't pick up garbage on time, and leads to a Cim getting sick, makes for dead weight on a road and forces additional vehicles to be sent to those roads in form of a ambulance or even further down the chain, hearse if the ambulance doesn't get there in time. These domino effects can easily lead to abandoned buildings which leads to gaps in the electricity network which leads into ruin.
Cities: Skylines is a modern take on the classic city simulation. The game introduces new game play elements to realize the thrill and hardships of creating and maintaining a real city whilst expanding on some well-established tropes of the city building experience.
