๐ฒ Working Highway Entrance/Exit Design "Tree" | No interchange | Cities: Skylines Traffic Guide #5
64This video shows how my "Tree" Highway Entrance/Exit ramp Design works in cities on small(20k), medium(130k) and large scale(400k). It's a fully working highway system using ramps that requires no interchange or intersections to be built and still give you perfect traffic flow on and off the highway and intro and out of the city. Make entrances and exits from your city all over the place and let traffic use all lanes along the way.
The small city is one of my old designs, while the medium and large cities are from other players save files downloaded from the Steam Workshop.

๐Written traffic guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1831101257
The main problem we all have are the traffic jams created when the vehicles in our cities fill up our road capacity to the point that the traffic flow comes to a standstill. And to our amusement, horror or annoyance they do this by filling up only one lane out of two out, or out of three or even out of six lanes. If you want to find out what makes up for such a high traffic volume, read up on the previous part of this guide which is about vehicles.
This single lane pile up is enough to paralyze our road network and wreck our cities because of multiple problems that arise from vehicles not getting to their destination. This makes a lot of players conclude that the traffic AI is incapable of using more then one lane and that anything more then two lane roads are a waste of money and space. However, this is not the case, as I will write down below.
The regular gameplay starts of vehicles on the regional highway entrances on multiple lanes, which shows us that the traffic AI is capable of utilizing all lanes of a road, in this case the highway. All the vehicles coming in from the region have already planed out routs which include roads which they will drive on, lanes on those roads that they will drive on and places where they will change their lane to be able to turn from a multi-lane road to another road. This last part of their plan, the lane from which they will turn into another road is where all our problems come from and where player frustration is created.
What you must understand to be able to solve this lane usage problem with the traffic AI is that his actions are directly influenced by the white arrows, lane direction arrows, on the roads and highways themselves. When playing with no mods you have to use some creative means to change the way these arrows work in order to make paths that the traffic AI will use in it's calculation before it spawns a vehicles that is going to use that path. The only way to change a traffic lane arrow, when not using mods, is with the road that comes after it, more specifically, the lane onto which this arrow leads to. So while lane arrows control traffic you can control the traffic arrows by how you lay down each next consecutive road segment.
If you want to stop a lane from being a forward AND turn lane you have to add new road segments after it to influence the arrows on that part of the road/highway while at the same time adding new road segments to the side of that lane and a sort of a dead end road a bit farther off in the distance from the main road. By using this combination of a dead end road with roads that lead to and from this main road you change the arrows on the end segment of the main road and with that change the whole usage of the lanes.
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.
From the makers of the Cities in Motion franchise, Cities: Skylines boasts a fully realized transport system. It also includes the ability to mod the game to suit your play style as a fine counter balance to the layered and challenging simulation. Youโre only limited by your imagination, so take control and reach for the sky!
