This will still give you a high traffic flow % even if your are moments away from a disaster. While 99% of your streets and roads might be green, and have close to no traffic, a single part of your city might be experiencing a 99% congestion, and a huge traffic jam. This is a good visual representation, but it also lulls the player into a false sense of having a good traffic flow with the percentage bar because of it's average approach. Besides this the overlay itself provides the "picture is worth more then a thousand words" effect with the color system of red for high traffic all the way down to green, low traffic, that provides a quick way of spotting problematic roads. A higher number, for example 75,80,90% is considered a great traffic flow in a city.

With the traffic overlay, which has a traffic flow bar, players can see what is the overall(average) percentage number of the traffic flow in their city. Large and huge cities benefit most from these hidden mechanic and limits, as they are working without actually having to obey the same laws that govern small cities, like delivery times, actual physical quantities and having to drive or take a ride to work. The despawning, teleportation mechanic and the ingame vehicle number limitations provide a helpful respite form unending cycles of production, consumption and 24/7 work hours that create endless traffic which knows no ebb and flow, and because of which, it becomes impossible to deal with traffic at small scale, if it isn't designed into the city from the start. These domino effects can easily lead to abandoned buildings which leads to gaps in the electricity network which leads into ruin. A Garbage truck that doesn't pick up garbage on time and a Cim gets 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. And each type has it's objectives that can be made obsolete if they spend to much time in a traffic jam. Huge cities require very high numbers of these vehicles to function. Garbage disposal, Firefighters, Healthcare, Deathcare and Police to name just the main ones. This can be achieved by zoning workplaces close to residences, by adding pedestrian paths, and numerous public transportation options.Ĭity services add up to a large number of vehicles. You can't eliminate their arrival from the region in them when they move in but you can reduce their need once inside the city.

Providing good, direct and fast connectivity to highways or cargo hubs becomes a must.Ĭars are Cims personal transportation vehicles. 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. 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). 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. Depending on their objective you need to provide adequate road and highway network so that they can do their jobs quickly and not create traffic jams in your city.ĭelivery trucks/vans originate from industrial buildings inside your city. They leave the city and the region after completing their deliver or if they are of the first type they just transit through your city. Both types don't have a home building in your city. 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. Regional vehicles, these originate, as their name implies, in the region, outside the map, and they have two types. First question is what types of vehicles where in that traffic jam? The common traffic jam is made up by every type of vehicles: regional vehicles, delivery trucks/vans, cars and city services. In order to prevent a disaster, that is triggered by traffic jams and city's service vehicles inability to reach problematic places in the city, we have to understand these vehicles and where they came from and how did they create that traffic jam.
