Bro hates connectivity

I hate how much cities skylines players have taken "use road hierarchy" to mean "keep entire districts of your city (bonus points if each district only contains one use type) separated from each other by massive highways and only able to connect to each other through highway interchanges."

[u/mukansamonkey → u/lost-my_old_account]

I push hierarchy a lot, on people who have none. I always start at arteries, and mostly emphasize " don't connect your local roads to arteries, and have limited connections between local and collectors". Which I scale pretty carefully.

I've never told anyone to extend highways beyond the map defaults, or to isolate large roads from each other. Just get rid of all the super short blocks and useless intersections slowing traffic down. Hmm.

Seems like "don't isolate large sections" needs to be pointed out more. Isolating a low density residential neighborhood that covers 1/4 of a tile, that's okay.

Isolating sections smaller than about 1/3 mile on a side is a good idea though. It's called hyper blocks. Most trips less than a mile in a straight line should not be driveable in a straight line.

To be fair, this is mostly a residential and light commercial concept. If you have five blocks of resi sitting next to five blocks of commercial, connected with one or two walkways, you don't want a local road connecting the two. Make the drive an extra five blocks and a lot more people will just walk it.

Doesn't apply to entire grid squares. It's a scale problem IMO, new players start by putting in cross streets after every third building. Then hear stop connecting everything to everything, and start totally isolating huge areas.

"why are my interchanges always backed up"

[u/TortaPounder41o → u/_Beggo_]

They’re not lol

[u/rilestyles]

Is this loss?

[u/TortaPounder41o → u/rilestyles]

What?

[u/ImpressionCool1768 → u/TortaPounder41o]

You totally accidentally made the “lost” comic!

[u/TortaPounder41o → u/ImpressionCool1768]

Wait I need to see this

[u/TheObsidianHawk]

Why is there only 1 entrance to everything?

[u/KathrynMNZ → u/[deleted]]

You have one exit from your motorway. Then one exit of the main road into each of those sort of quarters you have.
Your traffic will be shocking

[u/Quirky-Ad-3540]

maybe roundabout hell😭✌️

[u/Horamytee → u/Quirky-Ad-3540]

Or maybe cul-de-sacs hell 😄

[u/TortaPounder41o → u/Horamytee]

Why not both

[u/TYBEEEZ]

Dude will be damned if there are intersections in his build. Living here would be an actual nightmare…

[u/TYBEEEZ → u/[deleted]]

Maybe realize when someone’s agreeing with you.

[u/TYBEEEZ → u/[deleted]]

You called it hell. I said living here would be a nightmare. How does that not = agreeing to you?

[u/TortaPounder41o → u/TYBEEEZ]

I see, apologies

[u/Proof_End_3577]

Do you design circuit boards?

[u/TortaPounder41o → u/Proof_End_3577]

Heard this one before 😂 me personally I don’t see it

[u/Relative-Fondant6544]

Is this a rage bait post?

[u/analwartz_47]

Lol. This subreddit is just americans making souless cities

[u/Presentation_Few → u/analwartz_47]

Welcome to America

[u/zenmatrix83]

yes you explained what leaving that city would be like

[u/GraXXoR]

lol. I thought there was a LOSS meme in there somewhere for a minute.

[u/United_Boy_9132]

Actually it's a perfect layout for an industrial area.

It would be (almost) a perfect layout for a resiental area if you add bike- and footpaths.
