Workaround to Traffic Problems

Sometimes just rotating buildings helps as well. I had citizens calling for a 6 lane highway which would have cost me 22,500. I rotated the troublesome buildings and all of a sudden they were super happy and never complained again. Maybe they just didn't like the view! 🙂

How do you simply rotate a building without changing the place?

If you pick it up and kind of "wiggle" it in place, you'll see it will snap to face whatever roads are ajacent to it. So you can only do it when a building has more more than one road to face.

Thanks for the +1 btw

Try not to have many four way stops. This should keep traffic down.

It would appear there becomes a point where regardless of how few resident zones are on a road they demand road upgrades. I'm beginning to think trying to avoid upgrading roads is futile. But what I'm wondering is will upgraded roads reduce traffic on connecting not upgraded roads? This assuming that traffic flows from A to B and isn't strictly a population count vs length of road between lights. Though I suspect it is probably nothing more than that metric rather than an A to B thing. But I figure I'd post here to see if any more info has come about since the starting of the thread that will be helpful.
