When will they fix traffic AI?

[Dioskouroi]

Traffic is just as bad as before. 4 Lane highway and every car is trying to turn right to take the off-ramp blocking the 2 left lanes so other vehicles can't go straight pass them. Why isn't this a priority?

Great... Now there's an accident outside my city limits and no one can get in and my power plants are running out of fuel! FFS

Sounds like a you problem for not having more than 1 roadway to your power plants. Always have multiple roadways to get somewhere so if something like this happens cims can detour like in real life.

Multiple road ways outside your city limits? great idea! ......

How would the OP go about building a 2nd road outside of city limits to make this bypass, just curious. Does it require Anarchy or something? I can't think of a way to make additional routes and connections outside city limits w/o some kind of mod.

It's a new city, I was putting priority on getting tiles for neighbourhoods to get more revenue. There's also only one highway leading to my city, I didn't think accidents would happen outside city boundaries. Kinda stupid if you think about it.

Yeah, she probably ignore Cody telling you that it’s a “you “problem

I like the idea, but it needs police vehicles, is it? to have access to the highway, basically allowing them to go eitherway down a one way highway, so they can access it.

Most irritating problem with AI traffic in the game is all vehicles wait until they reach the intersection...THEN they switch lanes. If there's for instance a 1 way 4 lane road, they'll be in the lane in the middle right, then merge 2 lanes left, to turn at the intersection instead of waiting ahead of time.

I miss the president mod that would allow you to select the circles on the road to ensure that cars can't change lanes too late, but at the start far back down the road.

They can't. It's the number one complaint, and they haven't done anything about it because they can't. Or don't know how to. Or just don't want to.
Pick one.

I tried expanding to a three lane one directional highway and they blocked ALL THREE LANES trying to merge over to the exit ramp.

Traffic is garbage. I also wonder why they did not natively implement the traffic mods type control you had in CS1. Who wants to build a city when all roads are blocked by traffic because all lanes wanna turn right. But I guess this is how CO drive in real life when leaving the office for vacation every other week.

[Bedna]

Not to mention they blatantly ignore traffic rules.

Sure, I understand the realism of a little traffic violations, but when that one vehicle decides to make a left turn even though it is forbidden, and blocks ALL TRAFFIC in 6 lanes on the main road in both directions for 5 mins until it despawns. If that happened in real life, that driver would been honked the ♥♥♥♥ out within 10 seconds. Where is the realism there?
