Traffic route issue from Industry

[Knugen]

So, look at this picture:

As you see I have industry to my right side of the city, the issue is, the oil industrys still uses the road through the whole city to export the oil (many other factories do too)

But I want them routed to the green line out of the city, NOT the red one

I only want to accept RED one for local export to the commercial areas and such


What am I doing wrong here?

I tried using a tiny district at the end of the roundabout to ban heavy traffic, speeded up the game for several minutes, still many many trucks drove that way...

The Traffic AI as I am sure you know is rubbish at route finding, the only way to force a route is to remove the other options as if it is in any way shorter to go the red route it will.
Or try Traffic manager mod presidents edition it makes a big difference in my games, although at present you need to use a modded version of it as the op hasnt updated it to industries yet.

Hey buddy, that is simple. The road on the north is shorter and faster, so they will prefer that way. I havent really used the ban heavy traffic, so i dont know about that. However i have the solution, but you may not like it :D
Delete the road to the north for now and your problem is solved. Later when you perhaps get the plot of land, open up the road again and get a toll both with max in in toll both price, then they will most likely not take that road again. They will take the fastest way and i guess now also, the one that cost less also.
I hope it helped :)

The trucks that are using that interchange to enter are from the north outside connection. For them to go all the way around to the south interchange would be telling them to take the long, more time consuming route to enter the town.
I agree with "mark88da" disconnect from the north highway. This way they will drive around to use your two other interchanges to the south.
I do not believe you could make the existing path slow enough to discourage use from that highway. Even if you used dirt roads that north interchange would be the quicker route for any traffic from that outside connection.

The traffic AI is not rubbish your understanding of it might be though. I do not mean to insult though I can post many videos that show different than your claim.

After days of playing with the new DLC I added a rail cargo stop in every industry this morning. There has to be a lot smarter people than me with this DLC as I can't get it working, pretty frustrating.
