How One Road Tile Stopped This Run Dead - Mini Motorways Weekly Challenge, Week of August 8th, 2021 

"I didnt consider the 4D chess maneuver they would try". I literally can't stop laughing

11:30 It's so sad watching him beg for a bridge when he already is using two of them for the purples. I wonder when he'll notice!

your videos are honestly so entertaining... i don't see myself watching alot of 30-40+ minute videos on youtube but i'm always watching these all the way through :)

Refeshing honesty. "I keep pausing, because i am scared not because i have a solution."

One thing i learn is never trust the traffic lights

I like the thought that 5 remote houses are worth 3 local ones. I'm going to start thinking that way. That commute can be a killer.

I’ve been watching a lot of your vids. Bought the game a week ago. Scored a top 1% on a weekly challenge. Ended up going back and getting a top 10 in the world score. Thanks to your vids

great gameplay! this game is helping me cope with mi depression (kinda makes me anxious tho but it’s worth it) and your videos made me improve so much :) hope u go infinite soon

really enjoyed watching your video lol

The last zoom in make me freaking out

Are roundabouts with a tangent touching them not slower than splitting up the tangent into two arms?

I think it might be easy to underestimate the value of sending the right color to the right side for the dual-business plots. That parking lot traffic jam costs a lot of time.

I hope one day I get to see you go infinite! Would love to see you get a 10k+ score :)

Interesting, good city! I enjoyed that challenge too. Traffic lights can help to: 1 - keep main road traffic fast, where quiet side road joins. There were spots with 1 or 2 house routes joining busier ones and the junction slow down reduced the benefit of extra cars, which can back up traffic on the main route. 2 - Mixed roads & blocks of housing, lights bunching cars create gaps, which allows opportunities to turn across incoming traffic, improving flow as the turning cars don't back up cars behind it while a stream of spread out cars keeps them waiting. Where I do use lights, often I need to put them on several junctions in the area to switch to managed flows. That said, I rarely choose them until late game, the benefit is subtle, they just help avoid areas clogging up or slight delays on journeys. When there's a challenge forcing you to have them experiment earlier, as they could have helped in a few places in this city, though they probably would have lowered stress rather than increased final score.

man that was a really good run to

Thinking the blue and red island could have used the motorway, just to unblock the traffic jam at the red building.

I think the traffic lights are useless at merging 2 roads, but they work good if crossing 2 roads. like if blue and yellow want to cross for example. but not merging 2 blue roads into a single one, a roundabout is needed there.

are the spawns of colors based on maps because i did this map and the colors of my houses and buildings were very simaller

Hey! the weekly challenge changed for me today? It was one of everything yesterday but today its unlimited bridges. Any idea why

Do you enjoy a lot of strategy games? Or is this the only one that you play often

That ending was pain lol

Nice run

I know this is an old one but I really hope you stop putting intersections at the entrance to destinations. Another thing I noticed was when you have two sources of houses going to a destination put their intersection far enough away from the destination that the cars can speed up all the way, put a traffic light there to control the flow of cars in and out of the destination. I think intersections could be key to going infinite. There has to be a way to control the congestion

Why were u not using signals, for the yellow imax in the middle

that's why we should put our 3rd eye on the connections of the roads

Fucking epic!!

someone is going to figure out how to use traffic lights effectively. there is a logic to it, like the crazy Redstone stuff in Minecraft. it looked like it was prioritizing the greater number of cars. so having a turn in front of a business with limited capacity is a terrible place. ( or where people leaving can actually bock opposing traffic trying to get in) if you had a long driveway into the business before the light. it might've worked as intended, but no one could move on the green light. locking down the intersection until there was room. that's just an observation. a general priority is to have as little intersections near business as possible (i.e. long drive ways to businesses & using cul-de-sacs to funnel people onto the main roads.) there's no stop signs to mark who has the right of way. it would be cool if you could lock stop lights and make some people wait until there's an opening to keep traffic flowing on a main road without having it all slow down for 2 cars. the cars logic prioritizes merging people in instead of maintaining the flow of traffic. again, as far as I can tell with my observations.

I need a bigger mouse pointer. Thanks.

11 mins in im screaming at you for the unnecessary double purple bridge on the right as your saying you need bridges…

are traffic lights in this game that bad ? No one uses them.

23:52 Is that what she said?

I want to see two people work together on a map.
