The Most Satisfying Traffic Flow Video You'll Watch This Year Guaranteed!

40 Comments

1. For those that want an actual vehicle count, just divide the final figure in half 😉

2. so lane mathematics and designated lanes make a 3 way intersection worse? or am i misunderstanding this

3. For those situations where traffic jams never formed, your counter was basically counting every single car that spawned. The study doesn't mean anything.

4. wonder what the teresting enviroment was exaclty a fixerd spawn on all streets?? if not it may not realy couint for anything the resuults i mean

5. Is there any content creator pack for these interchanges? I would love to have them at my disposal and I don’t want to take the time to build them every time!

6. I CANNOT wait for this mod to be available publicly

7. you should normalize the results by the space the junctions take in order to really be able to compare them

8. The music is a good touch.

9. epic

10. The perfect music for this video as well! Enjoyed it as always!

11. Biffa tells editor : I'm going to send over some footage, I need to clipped down to about 16 minutes and add some catchy tunes and subtitles with a few zoom outs
    Editor receives nearly 300 hours of video, wishes he became a garbage man like his father.

12. Was traffic de-spawning on or off when filming this?

13. Basically all the interchanges from 7:00 onwards (except the double stack and the final one) are mathematically the same interchange, just in different shapes. (1 lane for each direction and no weaving)

14. "The most satisfying traffic video!" * shows a roundabout at a standstill * 😨😱

15. A TLDR at the end would be nice, like a graph or something?

16. If I am driving and encounter a 4-way inverted cloverleaf I am just getting out of my car and walking away.

17. is there any way to adjust vehicle spawning rate maybe, to get a better idea of the actual flow?

18. Once you got into the interchanges proper, it looks like the test setup wasn't generating enough traffic to actually saturate the interchanges and therefore the vehicle counts stalled out.

19. I found the inverted cloverleaf the most pleasing to watch. It could replace a fish tank!

20. Here are the results (divided by 2 for intersections and interchanges, by 4 for roundabouts):
    227: Small roundabout
    
    244: Small roundabout with asymmetric lanes, dedicated turns, yields
    
    596: Large roundabout
    
    621: 4-way 4-lane junction
    
    754: 4-way 4-lane junction with traffic lights
    
    917: 4-way 4-lane junction with timed traffic lights, asymmetric roads, dedicated turns
    
    1334: Large roundabout with asymmetric lanes, dedicated turns, yields
    
    2381: 3-way Y-pretzel

    3348: 4-way Inverted Cloverleaf
    
    3382: 4-way Double Trumpet

21. It seems that at a certain point, increasing interchange complexity only gives you diminishing returns in traffic flow.

22. The music reminds me of rainbow road in Mario Kart

23. "Were there any surprises?"
    Yeah, the final interchange the size of small country did catch me a bit off guard indeed.

24. Thanks for the interchange ideas. Other than that the differences are so minimal I don’t really see a need to monitor efficiency. It’s a cool mod regardless

25. The problem I see here is the traffic volume on the roads was too low. You need to force more and more cars per second until traffic starts backing up and that is the number you should use.

26. 15:11 to 15:57 So Cities Skylines finally has a Texas interchange! 😆😈

27. 10:20 it's just a windmill…. Right? RIGHT?!

28. Hi Biffa! How much RAM do you need to run your assets list? I have 32GB and it runs out of memory then crashes. What are you on?

29. Once the African content packs come out, please do a desert map and call it Hugonda. Then make it unlimited funds and over build the road network by adding all kinds of high flow intersections, like continuous flow intersections, diverging diamond interchanges, and other mass traffic eaters, regardless of their necessity.

30. Wishing you and your family a happy holiday and a happy new year.

31. Interesting, but it seems all the big ones hitting close to the same value ( ~6500/6700) was just because not enough traffic was being generated – as none of those had any roadblock or jam happenig. Woule be nice to increase the traffic being generated to see how much they can handle before some slow/jam starts to happen. The last one.. LOL

32. I did not understand a thing

33. With all the new DLCs, are you planning on revisiting old cities?

34. Love the extremely, almost fundamentalist, autistic nature of this video. All nodes the same, all shots the same. The same order, the same length, the same info.

    Has a very calming effect indeed.

35. Thumbnail caught my attention quality of video kept me

36. The max amount of cars are to few to make this test interesting. As long as it doesnt back up you are not at max capacity.

37. I think area covered by the intersection and the cost to build should be factored in somehow! A spreadsheet?

38. It lulled me to deep sleep. Not because boring ; it was very informative on the contrary for the part I was mesmerized by. But they hypnotized me into slumber midway. I'll have to watch again…AWAKE.

39. 💲💵🤑

40. We need some of these in Vanilla ASAP!
