I know I am a noob but any suggestions? I know its not symmetrical but its my first city builder and I finally got to this happy point.

just use one-way roads brah

It doesn't take too long to unlock highways. In the meantime substitute them with one way roads.

Not as far as I can tell. It's got more capacity, and takes up the same amount of space.

Okay, so how do I get to the map editor, if there is one? There's a terraforming acheev.

Don't three lane roads start creating traffic lights at intersections while the two lane ones don't?

Looks like an awful lot of intersections.
Got to around 55k, and now my city stagnates. I have good service coverage of about anything, but the citizens neither have any demand, nor can I substantially raise any build demand by further increasing the situation with parks and such.
Ideas? Really no clue what to do about this, since I will just lose citizens without a way to get them back up.

Are you aware of the park bug?

I've been working around a design like the one of the right. It gets needlessly confusing, but it does defuse traffic ridiculously well.

Eh, I'd say it got the job done.
Lower the taxes Obama!
Thanks.
145k pop in my city of "Choorono"
It's starting to get really difficult as I'm not getting enough raw materials from the outside world to cover my population. I had to build some satellite boroughs for specialized industries, but traffic problems have increased significantly as the distance between the population centres increased. Tried some experiments in traffic routing to mixed success, but overall, it's starting to look pretty impressive to me. I hope to fill all 25 squares, but it's going to be a big challenge.
Very disappointed with the lack of properly named districts.
I'm still tweaking them! They will be properly named once I get them nailed down.

Sorry for the late reply but I haven't. I searched the entire Paradox Skylines forum and found quite a few other people with the same problem but still no solution. Hopefully it gets fixed soon! My 26,000 pop. city was really becoming a metropolis!
This doesn't seem to work for me. The road I want to "snap" just attempts to cross over the curved road and is invalid.
EDIT: Oh I see, I still need to eyeball a curve.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Are you sure you're using Freeform and not the Curve tool maybe? I haven't tried this method myself, but it seems pretty straightforward. Only other thing I can think of is elevation issues?
So still fairly early but something is frustrating me.. Garbage... so why does a landfill only seem to go in one direction for pickup? I have a corner which is industrial.. I put a landfill right next to it and it shows green in every direction but the one I need it to. How do you adjust the routes for the trucks?
One way road? It changes the effectiveness of services.
My city is almost completely stagnant right now. Its at 130k and there is no demand except for a tiny sliver of industry/office and 150-300 people a day immigrating.
Partially, basically parks fill the need for commercial, but why would that lead to no residential need anymore?
And is there a way to avoid it?
Hummm good question, that might be it.. yikes... time to start over lol

I was assuming that when he was saying "two lane" and "three lane" he meant "four lane" and "six lane" since there aren't any 3 lane roads. But you're right, yeah, the roads that are 3 cells thick create traffic lights, unless there is a one way road leading out of it, or if the end of it splits evenly into two one-way roads.
Yeah I meant, four and six lane

Using cargo harbors and train harbors to import goods, as well as your highways allows you to import much more quickly.

What's your guys' favourite maps so far?
Does that industrial area have a train station or harbour?

I've managed to fuck up even the external highway lol

Just kidding, I'm Brazilian too. My cities haven't turned out much better (yet), there's definitely a learning curve, especially with traffic.

Haha, here I was micromanaging infrastructure upgrades to my tiny city and I've never even seen that shade of red yet
This is my mostly unplanned, weird sprawly first city still. Around 12k people I think. It's doing pretty well overall but I've had to totally remove and redo some roads in the interest of trying to get fire/dump trucks to places.
Edit: Fear my basic lack of understanding of exits/onramps! Despite living in a city heavily utilizing them in real life~

The thing is, it is all highrises. Like, fully upgraded residential, business, and commercial zones. And I can't build fast enough.
I really need to look into civic planning now.
EDIT: Also, I am getting sick of looking at the same buildings over and over again. I also need to look into building mods.
Just tourism, so no actual purpose. I think I might see what happens if I get rid of my parks
I am using Freeform... I think.
Although as far as I'm aware freeform feels a lot like curve.

Micromanaging traffic flow is fun. It's a shame I'll have to demolish this whole thing since my mega city is slowing creeping up.

After four bankrupt cities, I've finally have a successful city going. It's about 6k people at the moment. But the moment I starting having a successful city, I didn't want to stop playing. I was starting to get a little discouraged after the 4th failed city.
Hopefully people start bundling building mods. Too cumbersome going through all of them one by one.

Has anyone made any vehicle model mods for the traffic in this game yet? I feel like there's a bit of a contrast between the art of the vehicles and the buildings that I'm not too much of a fan of.
Up to around 45k in my second city. Everyone's layouts are WAY more impressive than mine. I basically just have a giant grid system over a few tiles. It's working so far, but I'm seeing some limitations since I didn't know about resource harvesting, my map doesn't allow for a harbor, etc. I'm sort of attached to this city because I love seeing it grow, but I feel like I should move to city 3 with what I've learned.
How come my skyscrapers don't look as impressive as other peoples'? They still look fairly short and generic in my game.

6 hours in now and loving it. This game is awesome. More dynamics are opening up; I'm fumbling my way through traffic engineering right now. I also have a new appreciation for everything that goes into building a city and keeping it running in real life too hahaha

here is to show those that were interested how my city system was going to work
My highway is totally screwed though. Not sure what to do with it. Every time I tinker with it, I get screwed worse. The bottom part is about 60% done so the traffic situation may get worse as time progresses.

Multicore usage looks good. 90% utilised in an almost 500k city (not mine):

sooo gooooooood
I'm not an expert but basically think of it like a circulatory system. That's how I do, at least. You don't want to come straight off the highway onto a road that's got buildings on it. You want to come off the highway onto a smaller trunk road, and then you have one-way roads leading off that road, and then you have buildings on the roads that those one-way roads connect to. Unless your roads are coming off a highway into a residential area, then it's mostly okay to not do it like that, since traffic flow into residential areas is never that huge.

You've gotta incentivize other routes. My cheap trick is to make a one-way inbound road to the industrial area, which will alleviate a lot of turning congestion and general traffic on the main road. Depending on how it's done, the same trick can work for outbound freight.
Once you get public transit you can probably elminate (or heavily reduce) the cloggage with good route planning.
I find the number 1 cause of traffic jams in my city to be delivery trucks for my dense commercial zones. At least with industrial I tend to build it outside of residential areas and near main arteries, but commercial I like to plonk it right in the middle of town. It doesn't help that they all run out of goods at the same time.
