Realistic Intersections in Cities: Skylines - Traffic Management Tutorial 

Great news! “Building Spawn Points” has been released. I have even made a tutorial about it. Shoutout to everyone who wanted me to know. Rest assured… I know.

"All the deliveries... and... you know..." *hearse picks up dead person* "Well, that's not really a delivery exactly" Unintentional comedic gold with that timing

I came for the tree road, not disappointed 10/10 would tree road again.

"Americana, Straight up" Video: shows cop car running the intersection and hitting a pedestrian, and continuing on like nothing happened. Reality check passed.

I came for the 4+3 turning roads to collectors but stayed for the rest. Learnt so much, thanks for the video!

I came for intersections, stayed for you teaching me how to actually use Traffic Manager. I'll have to start using the lane arrows over the connectors.

Great video! All CS RU-vidrs are currently publishing videos on roads and intersections and the new related mods. But, I still learned a couple of things from this one. I specifically like the "cool" pace and the fact that you don't overedit, allowing us to see the mistakes and you setting them right.

21:33 The drop off point is just *after* the closest node. Move the node so the drop off is just *before* the node. Same thing happens with cargo rail stations if you're not careful about the node placement.

It’s been 4 years since I downloaded CS. Finally somebody really teach how to use mod properly on RU-vid. Hope you’ll keep updating us with all the updates and changes with this mods.

1:11 Old guy getting taken out by the police! Hahahaha

Great video as always dude! A realistic intersection (and road choice) is one of the many pieces in the puzzle of making an efficient and good looking city! Thanks for breaking it down with your philosophy, I learned a few new things as always!

I love how at 20:31 your reaction to that absolute speed demon of a cim was the same as if it happened in real life and you were on the sidewalk watching lmao

Wow... I've never played Cities: Skylines, but your channel is fascinating! Your explanations are clear and the visuals are enjoyable to a lovely degree. I think I'll be playing these videos in the background while doing something else, and someday I'll come back and use them as tutorials if I ever play it myself!

I haven't played this game in 3 years so your videos and others helped me relearn how to play it. I already have TM:PE and various asymmetrical roads as well as a Replace Our Networks mod to change the roads.

at 12:20 you say "this makes no sense. there is no reason for cars to merge around here" and I feel so gratified, because here in Germany near where I live there is a city (Germersheim) that has exactly these kinds of merging lanes after intersections, so when you turn left you turn into a separate lane in the middle of the road and have to merge to the right, where you can't see enough because the steering wheel is on the left of course. I refuse to use them, maybe I get a bit too furious about them, but I just love that you see it my way 😌

I love you YUMBL and your assets you make this game so much funnier to play

These roads are great, I'm approaching 600 K with 81 tiles and 86% traffic flow. Its great how the continuous median adjusts with the addition of other roads. The road knows...

20:28 HAHAHAHA I was laughing for hours

I expect big growth of this channel in the near future! Good stuff, keep it up

"All the deliveries... well that's not a delivery" 😆

Everytime I watch one of your videos, another layer is added to the game. Thank you so much for taking the time of not only showing but explaining in detail each aspect of the game. Great quality!

good on you sir, you're on par with biffa and imperatur with your road explanations

I am watching all your videos about traffic, roads, mods to use etc... your playlist is a gold mine! I wish you made a video about each of these mods and every issue we might encounter while designing our grid. Now that everyone is migrating to CS2 there will be very little of that, I'm very sad about it.

This is really cool! I could sit and watch just the traffic in this game with these mods on forever.

Pay no attention to the tree road... Truck Driver "hold my beer". Perfect timing, I think I snorted coffee out of my nose!

3:10 Conflict Nerd in a nutshell.

Just discovered this channel and loving the pacing of these videos. Have watched almost your entire channel now. Looking forward to more content from you in the future. Subscribed

I love listening to you. Your tutorials are entertaining and informative. I would love to watch a let's play series. Do you plan on creating a city from scratch? I would love to follow along. It would be an ultimate tutorial.

Best explanations I‘ve found on YT!

Wow. This video auto-played and that's great, because I love the Big Roads but never figured out how to use the ones with medians. Just a traffic light fixes it? I wish there were another way as I don't always want traffic lights, but that'll do. Lesson learned? Always watch Yumble's videos. I think this was the only one I hadn't watched before today. Love your stuff.

The turn lane laws vary by state, of course, so sometimes you might want to use the lane controls at intersections to mimic a certain location. In Washington, for example, the law says you can turn left only into the left lane, and you can turn right only into the right lane (or, if there are multiple turn lanes, then you turn into the corresponding lane on the second street). Nobody follows this law, of course, but that's what it says. In California, if I remember correctly, right turns have to follow those rules but left turns don't. (For CS purposes, I agree with letting people turn wherever they want, unless you have a good reason otherwise.)

I tend to use the lane connector on busy intersections but only for the outer turning lanes (left turn on LHT or right turn on RHD), but it's because of my personal preferences to turn on the "Vehicles may turn at red traffic lights" options on every single cities I played.

must love the yellow car at 14:13 that makes a left turn over the median, even though you just removed that option in traffic manager :-)

My favorite road type to use in my cities is to add dirt roads. There’s nothing like a good old fashioned dirt road.

Thanks for sharing, still see they have the problem of the trucks crossing the roads to deliver. Thought they would have solved that by now. The tip with the middle section is welcomed. :)

Awesome video! I love those roads, but I wish there was a way to make the median disappear from crossings without having to use traffic lights. Sometimes you just want a stop sign there!

16:55 button is called "don't wait for clear passage" and you CAN set it as default in TMPE settings for each city. Makes non-light junctions work much smoother, but with lights or overloaded ones clog hard. As for trucks, best way is to have thicc sidewalk. if its over 12m, whole truck will go in not blocking the traffic.

Gotta love the taxi just driving over the median, ignoring all the rules you just setup... (14:07)

3:30 Yumbl:The inner most lane must turn into the inner most lane That Gray car: Screw you im goin to the middle lane

3:09 that’s some insane parking

wow your best cs youtuber

19:13 the way he shook his curser over the hearse made me laugh

14:07 wonder if that cop is gonna cite the taxi driver for an illegal left turn over the median ???

Where have you been all my life, I hope you intend to continue these amazing tutorials. Well presented and actually make sense for once. Well played sir, you have my sub and attention also twitch sub.

This guy is fantastic

Reverse turn median could be useful for heavy left-turn traffic from the T-leg to merge into the general flow at a T-junction without stopping the cross-T traffic. Could reduce impact to main cross-T arterial flow.

heyyy new video!! i got notification and excited to watch!!! 🤟🏻😜🔥🔥

Excellent advise and tips YUMBL thank you!

Hey, I'm watching your video from Paris and I just wanted to thank you for these great tips !

Biffa sends his regards! *sip*

You guys can thank me for these features such as the RCUT (restricted crossing u-turn) and protected pockets which was a feature I had asked the developer to include in BIG roads. He delivered and deserves millions of pats on the back. Building roads has never been the same!

19:13 LUL

"Tree Road isn't real, it can't hurt you"

Great video! Enjoyed thoroughly.

Awesome video, thank you for your advice and i just love this pack, looks so good!

Nice video! This may keep my roads from being horky borky.

The coffin segment was pretty funny 😆 19:10

Great video. See you soon on stream.

hey. Just discovered you! Great content! Subscribed. Gonna go back and watch and like all your previous videos!

Soooo happy I found your channel

16:44 Biffa has a good name for that. "Allow through blocked junction" I think... I can't stand watching Biffa anymore though.

16:50 The button in TMPE is Allow/disallow vehicles to enter a blocked junction you're absolutely right.

I really wish Cities: Skylines and Transport Fever would make a baby. I prefer the gameplay of TF, but I want the realism and control of traffic and road building that CS has.

I'm new here and love your vids!!! I am currently saving up for a Pc and cities skylines too so this is a huge help to when the times comes. You deserve a sub :)

I call the junction button the "Keep Clear" button, although functionally it is reversed (enabling the button turns _off_ the "Keep Clear" behavior).

What up Yumbl

lots of good points, thanks again. cheers.

Thank you so much...you made my Roads beutifull and Better👍

At the time of this video I do not believe the spawning location mod was available. But that's your solution about where trucks can deliver - front or rear at a loading dock. I believe the only limitation is with cargo train and boat terminals. it doesn't work with those (yet, hopefully). I am hoping in the future the mod will get an enhancement where you can spread out the arrival and departure of the vehicles.

Vanilla+ streets are a nice thing too. But they are not so american... 😁😉 The button is the "go through" button to me... and lane connectors are great for junctions without traffic lights to handle cims not getting in each other's way.... but you are absolutely right, you can do a lot of bad things with it and use it carefully.

This whole time I was using lane connectors at all my intersections - I thought the arrow tool was just for looks. No wonder my traffic is never flowing very well.

Great work

Another awesome video! Keep it up :D

I usually call that button that keeps the traffic flowing the Free flow traffic button.

ok so po the shops and add service cubes at the rear, and hangout markers at the front is probs the best way to get round the back deliverys atm

Thanks for introducing me to the Big Urban Roads. I'll definitely try them in my next city. Just out of curiosity, do those big median roads support Michigan lefts? That's where, in a situation where a small road meets a big road with median, traffic that wants to turn left turns right, than moves over the the left side of the road to take a u-turn lane that cuts through the median.

Another delivery solution: Turn on snapping in move it. Set the building back from the road by 1 or more grid units.

I did not know this was years old, i was confused why you didnt use building pawn point lol

The intersection marking tool is purely aesthetic, and doesn't affect how cims drive at all. Unless you're using something else, you should still use lane connector. just learn how to use it properly so you're not sending people out of their way.

OH! That button is called a "straight-through". It allows traffic to continue through an intersection without stopping. "Go straight through"

Gr8 vid m8 cheers.

PLEASE a video on the custom parking garages on the workshop. The crazy modular ones i thought i may have seen one in this video but if you know what i mean, i could use a good tutorial and application video

Good video on the Big Roads, but they are too wide for me. Nice part about the turning lanes, will probably use that sometime.

Great video!

I can't confirm it, but I think changing the speed of the turning lanes individually helps with distribution.

I refer to it as the "push through" button :p

Try Building Spawn Points. It allows you to tell vehicles where to enter/exit a building.

"the innermost lane has to stay in his lane and the outermost lane has options, and that's how it works in the game too" *game does the opposite right under his cursor*

Delivery truck blocking traffic is sadly pretty common in some cities

Hey Yumbl, with big urban road, which one do you use for a collector? It seems like the 2+2 road is not wide, and there's no median version

I'm glad I stumbled across your channel and can happily admit you have another subscriber. I've been paying attention to this and downloaded all the applicable MODS to ensure I can follow and replicate your work. However, I am still struggling. @9.55 on your video add the 2 lane side road and the median remains unbroken. However, when I attempt to replicate your actions with the same roads it keeps putting an intersection. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Cheers and take care.

I came from the future to tell you, now your problems are over with the Spawn Points Mod.

Just a quick question you used a 3 by 5 to give more left turn allocations, I would have used same 3 by 4 and and the 4 side setup as Left, Left, Straight on, Right. Is this something you may have overlooked?

Can’t -stop -thinking -about -tree -road

I just stumbled on your video because i was struggling with my vehicles only using 1 lane and backing up and was trying to find some solutions. Ill see your videos because your content and the pace you go is very good. but any particular one i should look for that issue?

Hi Yumbl, loving your videos! I am trying to find this city in your twitch stream, but couldn't find it. I am new to twitch, is the stream still there ? Thank you!

Loved the video quick question for anybody whats the mode for the parking lots called

I wanted to use these roads in my city but there’s no 4 lane road with median which a great deal of my city is made of. Also they don’t have parking spaces/emergency stopping lanes!

Someone may have said it already however I. believe the signs are called thru-traffic

TMPE just calls it “Vehicle may enter blocked junction”
