Cities Skylines 2 is far from perfect and the city builder has problems, particularly in the road traffic management system. But it’s not all dark
In Cities Skylines 2, managing traffic is a constant challenge and source of frustration. Players create perfect grid systems, installing roundabouts, intersections and subway tunnels, but often face problems with traffic jams and the collapse of the road network. The cause sometimes lies in the AI and its questionable pathfinding. Fortunately, there is a solution.
Cities Skylines 2: Finally a solution for roads?
A CS2 player, known as Piccana on YouTube, has created a series of videos showing a perfect high-performance hub for handling city traffic. His latest video shows how to build a complex, multi-lane, multi-level highway system suitable for large metropolitan areas.
The system begins with four two-lane roads at 90 degrees and a lowered middle section. Through the use of gradients, ramps and dedicated lanes, the interchange allows multiple highways to be connected in all directions without causing traffic jams. A brilliant idea. On the other hand, we recommend that you follow the video below carefully to get through it, since it is not necessarily very easy. Especially if you’re just starting out with the game and learning the basics of creating a city.
The end of the problems
Roads are crucial in Cities Skylines 2, influencing everything from the economy to the education system to central services. Ineffective road management can lead to complete chaos. And above all, cause a lot of frustration for the player. Mods have already improved some aspects of the traffic and route finding AI. However, this time it is a native solution that does not require any downloads.
The exchange system offered by Piccana represents a significant advancement in urban traffic management in Cities Skylines 2. With innovative solutions like this, players can now approach traffic management more efficiently and less frustratingly, improving the overall experience of the game. Obviously this isn’t perfect yet. Colossal Order, the creator of CS2, has made progress on the performance issues that occurred when the game launched. But the studio is also working on such problems. Hopefully the quality will soon reach the level of Cities Skylines 1.
