Junction Traffic Flow *Geek Warning*

[Hollis]

This awakens my inner geek. I prefer without the commentary.. Apologies if this is old news..

If we banned cars we wouldn't need to spend so much on complex infrastructure like that.

Looks like citties: skyline.
Cool game.

 

[cybershot]

It’s a lot of space for essentially an island.

Think this might be the original video as it has info on the design and mods.

Wouldn't there be lots of complex new public transport infrastructure to compesnate for zero car travel, or would people just ride horses over the fields?

 

[Artaxerxes]

Some of those look confusing as fuck

You wouldn't need to clear over a thousand cars a minute. A few dozen buses would be much easier.

A few dozen buses won't be sufficient to replace all cars, unless they run door-to-door, rural areas are cleansed of habitation and a massive network of load carrying drones are available for hire.

You are aware this is all about a video game right?

even if this has some use as a simulation it's still not going to show you anything too radical.


well unless they release some very unusual DLC

No - completely baffled now..

Planners and architects love some Cities: Skylines to explain traffic flow and design cleanly and simply so don't discount it just because its a game.

I'm not discounting it. I said it has value as a sim. It is just restrained in its abilities. It won't model radical solutions unless radically modded.

Some of the complicated looking junctions would actually be the simplest to drive around, as you can just pick a lane and follow it.

And as soon as we can finally sign off that elusive deal with the fairies to take over the emergency services, taxi services and heavy goods deliveries, and build rail lines to replace every single road in existence connecting every town and city in the country, we’ll finally be able to get rid of all the evil motor vehicles that blight our lives so, and there’ll never be any need for any roads again
