Roundabout problem?
Any ideas why the roundabout locked up?

I'm confused.

the entire city's traffic is going to one intersection. of course its going to be backed up. round abouts are not magic that just lets cars move however they want. there is still a very real cap

Locked up as in? Absolutely no car move anymore? If that's what you mean, that's probably a bug.

If 2 or 3 cars still manage to move once in a while then it's not a bug. You are trying to force a fire truck hose thru a needle at this point.

It got stuck on one car not being able to leave, then it just piled on...
All exits were free, the car just stood on the roundabout not moving.

If one car can't leave then new cars getting on or trying to will wedge it into place. There was no way this wasn't going to happen when there are that many different routes going through the same roundabout. Even a roundabout accepting 1/3 that much traffic would have the potential to create problems.

They didn't, it just piled up... I cant reproduce it. Assuming it was somekind of a bug.

You mean the first car stopped even though nothing was blocking it?
That sounds like a bug. But it is also kind of hard to believe because the way these roads are laid out would have 100% had this happen almost immediately without any bug happening.

do not connect every color with each other
try to separate the colors by dedicated roads as much as you only can
if every color has to flow through one roundabout, then let the colors move only along one dedicated exit/entrance per color

Well something is fishy for sure. How the heck did he manage to get all his houses straight like that? I was about to mention that he needed to learn how to use diagonals but... You know...

I had the same problem. Traffic built up in a roundabout and didn't move on.
I deleted the roundabout and the cars moved on to the next roundabout where they got stuck again.
Trying to reproduce and take a screenshot this time.

Roundabout in this game dont actually work. They are just curved roads. Cars will stop in a roundabout, to let a car in, that doesnt happen in a real roundabout and it should never happen. Cars already in a roundabout has priority.

It's a great little game, but there needs to be better traffic ai and more control given to the player.

They just spawned like that... diagonals are ugly... only use them if i'm running out of tiles.

the big problem with this is: the cars should continue making more loops. and they dont. the middle of a roundabout should never freeze. if you cant get onto your exit you dont just stop like a moron (blocking others) you should go another round. currently this isnt coded in as far as i know.

this, roundabouts need some shark teeth built in (a.k.a prioritise those IN the roundabout that have to go out) and also cars if they cant take their exit because its clogged, should do another round and check again as much as needed.

It's actually pretty easy if you orient them into patterns the moment they spawn.

That's not what I meant. Houses simply do not spawn in straight lines like this ever. I'm pretty sure he made those houses spawn like this then he funelled all the traffic into a single point.
