Understanding Traffic
So whenever I am building, I have noticed that traffic seems to permeate every part of my building to the point that it is impossible for offices and apartments that dislike foot traffic to be happy, even if I only have the one elevator shaft at very nearly the opposite end of the building to the offices in question.

So how do I get traffic to decrease in certain areas?

According to my observations the traffic is higher on the left side of the building (for the simple reason that the left side has the bus stop and therefore, people who want to get somwhere on the right side of the building will have to pass the left side´).

Therefore I have divided my building into 2 halves (totally cvonnected in lower stories, püatially disconnected in higher ones each witgh one elevator) ...
the left side with shops and restaurants ... i.e. everything that loves lots of traffic ... and the right side with appartments and offices and everything else that doesn't like too much traffic.

Have made rather good experiences with this

I tend to put all my shops on the left side, then an elevator to the right of them, then to the right of that everything else, with the restaurants centered on the bottom three or four floors.

And I still get traffic at the furthest point away from the bus stop.
