Logistics and Zones

[George The Ork]

So I've found that when logistics flow through a zone, or tile, that has a truck station or railway station it seems like the logistics stop, and then hop on the local trucks and trains to continue, letting you leap-frog for longer distance? Seems good.
But I've found that this means that you can end up with a ton of logistics being wasted going into a zone, and then no further.

So is it a better idea to have your roads/rails go round a zone, and then simply have the zone be a branch off the side of the network to avoid having one zones level 5 truck station being reset by a local level 1 truck station?

Some people propose doing it the way you described - building it 1hex off-the-road and creating barrier so logistic points would not flow back - example here https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4986751.

When you say zone, do you mean city?

Yes, sorry for confusion!
