Traffic stops randomly

[[NOR] DuuD]

Highways: Traffic stops randomly in the middle of the road, almost like when they get «cut off”.

They then proceed to drive like nothing happened, but all cars behind them replicate the move, by stopping, and then driving, at the exact same spot.


I have fixed this several times now, by replacing the road with more/less lanes and then immideatly back to the original size, it removes the bug from the area.

Problem is it keeps coming back at diffrent roads randomly.

This causes performance issues when there is suddenly 100’s of cars backed up

I think there's a fix for this? https://www.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkylines2/comments/17xzsp4/comment/k9qjwxi/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Edit: nope, that fix is for a crash.

They say this is because of nodes being to close together but even if you take 6 tiles to create the perfect offramp they will have this behavior. It is a disaster.

Even worse, no matter where traffic flow stalls, it will show this behavior when traffic is free again. The traffic jam just will not solve

A fix is to go into the road builder and click twice on the affected section with the straight road tool to essentially "reset" the bugged node. Really needs a fix as it happens randomly all over the place and is very annoying. I don't know what causes it.

Yes, biggest problem for me is that the road can work perfectly fine for 10hrs and then suddenly this happens, and 9/10 times its on a highway with alot of traffic, the simulation really struggles with this untill traffic is normal again.

UPDATE

I think I found a solution, but its not good news.

Seems like building ONLY straight highways solves the problem, and they need to be buildt for as long stretches as possible.

Also: lesser lanes = lesser problems, so scale down the amount of lanes as soon as possible after interchanges.

Make sure your nodes are far away from the next exit etc


Hope they fix this in the next patch, its game breaking with a pop of 185k when traffic suddenly jams up

This happens not only on highways but in the city too. Frequently.

Rules I keep to prevent jams and weird stuff happening because people are crazy drivers.

1. Use BIGGER roads, Bigger highways and make sure you have more space.
2. Make sure you plan ahead and put industry, wastes and ect where it needs room so they don't go through city just to get back.
3. Don't overkill on the Round Abouts, these round things will speed everything so fast that the traffic will jam eventually. Use common sense and build accordingly to the SIMS destinations they intend. That includes leaving city too. Give them a nearbye exit to ride on high way OUT!

4. Don't over build in a small area. I see too many cool looking maps that Don'T WORK! They look metro and COOL from afar but their traffic is garbage in other words, they've failed. Keep the BIG buildings farther apart and have more parking and city transportation to help lower car volumes.

Most crappy jams and weird thingd happen if your traffic routes are not good. Mine they no longer do that since I've added the proper destinations, routes and given them more options on the road and highways.

About to hit 200k pop. I'm excited to see 1 Mil. Doing it without cheats and mods tough.

I've noticed another bug of a similar capacity. In that case, service vehicles that have entered a building (such as hearses, garbage trucks, or police cars) bug out, glitching with the ground and not moving anymore, thereby blocking all traffic on that road - not even the node reset mentioned by OP and even rebuilding the road entirely fixes this... however, for some reason, de- and reactivating the connected service facility gets the vehicles out of their stunlock

Have seen many videos on youtube showing the Highway traffic jam bug

So this needs a patch

Untill then my save on 350ish population is unplayable, because as soon as I fix one, 2 more have already occured and my simulation speed reduces to 0.5x or less

Whats sort of funny about this, most of the time that is how traffic jams start on highways in real life. How many times have you been stuck in traffic and when you get to the end nothing was there. Just someone hitting the brakes. Maybe that is actually working as intended but possibly too much and needs to be tweaked?

The traffic system works well in Cities Skylines 1
There are lots of good builder games around that have 80-90% Steam user ratings.

The developer's promise was to improve CS:1 traffic with the launch of this game.
This game currently has 58% Steam user rating.

Already a known and documented (confirmed) bug on the Paradox forums. We just have to wait until they get around to fix it in a future patch.

trucks get stuck in industry buildings..... cause massive back ups and crash the game.

I used to drive big rigs. I've seen this.
LOL
This is the most realistic the game gets.
