2. damn these collisions. I’ve got an existing 4 lane in my city, (old style) and trying to simply upgrade it to modern 4 lane (same size) no lanes or even tram tracks , just update the pavement, can’t do it, “collisions”

So I’ve got these weird spots of dark pavement in my city because there are two or three spots that I can’t upgrade, can’t remove them without spending millions deleting houses, and even then I’m sure the map would find something else to complain about if I tried to lay new road (well with the new road it’d be inexplicably wider and look just as stupid)

I haven’t had an example of what you describe in #2, have you got a screenshot?

here is the one where you can see the fat road in the middle near the old bus.

and here is where you can see the old road that won’t upgrade because of “collisions” they’re the same damn size.

Personally I like having the 2 sizes but have nothing against being given the option to build either explicitly. Especially since this is a sandbox game.

I would rather have a 6 lane avenue than a thin / fat version of the 4 lane to be honest.

I see what you mean, in the first one the road is split as it’s been modified in the past. The second looks more like a bug.

it wasn’t modified in the past. I upgraded both parts of that road at the same time. The problem was the game sees them as two parts. The part that had houses on it was upgraded one size (originally a medium road) and the little tip was also a medium road, but wasn’t included as one piece when I clicked on it to upgrade it.

As for the second picture, all three directions in that intersection can’t be upgraded. Even the two lane old road can’t be upgraded because of “collisions”

That’d be great if cars would pass each other. We can’t use way points on roads huh? 4 lane roads and all your different lines on one road want to take the same lane. Early on that’s killer as you get faster buses before you get faster trucks.

Sorry I didn’t mean necessarily you, the AI could have done it. But it’s academic anyway since the road is split now.

Regarding 6 lanes, you can try this but without overtaking I’m not sure how much use it is. Can’t use it on existing saved games apparently.

True, but in some circumstances (I have tried the mod above recently) they do use all lanes depending on their intended direction when they come to a junction… also with one of those being a bus lane it can improve the flow quite a bit.

I am referring of course to civilian traffic mainly.

Since trucks also use a bus lane this doesn’t help for scenarios like you posted a screenshot for.
I wonder who’s bright idea it was to allow 40 tonne trucks to use the bus lane 😛
