Recreating the WORLD'S WORST JUNCTION in Cities Skylines 2! 

Eminent domain is only for the Federal Govermand and that is only used for Rail or Highway projects

but can't the government jist forcefully buy them?

​@@xChikyx Germany did that before, but...well let's just say the gorvement at the time is very disliked today...

@@xChikyx Only the Federal Govermand can do that State/City cannot and only Rail/Highway projects we have a Highway project we have a Highway project in Planing since 1965 with 3-5 different routes for some segments when a segment will be build the Land purchases begin for one of the route, then try a different route, when all planed routes fail only then Eminent domain is considered and that is a minimum of 10 years for the legal stuff of Eminent Domain

@@Captain-Axeman we still have that in CR

Yeah but they couldve put a roundabout in and kept the one bridge going over it to have a small and safe intersection

True, but this is Europe. I doubt the government couldn't just force the farmers to sell their land for like 1 Euro/acre, assuming they get even that much. Though also, since this is Europe, so the farmer might be friends with the mayor or road planner. Nepotism to the rescue.

​@@BidmartinloEminent domain exists everywhere, though we don't expropriate without compensation over here.

@@bigyeet5857 Yeah I know, I live in Norway. Barely even worth the paperwork for that tiny bit of compensation you get.

@@Bidmartinlo traffic lights it is then. would be atleast better than what it is right now

rebuild terrible intersections and put them all into one city

im sure you mean cities skylines 2 and not counter strike 2, but, oh boy, that would be fun!

To do this, however, he would have to rebuild the entire area and not just one intersection. The road is laid out in such a way that the majority of vehicles follow the main road.

I request the disaster of a squashed mergy roundabout thing in Gloucester, England; 51.869284, -2.254003. It's not big, but busy and terrifying.

This would be awesome!!!

Definitely agree, loved the analysis of a real place.

streetcraft from ohio... or uh birmingham whatever the shithole weird place is for the uk

Yeah I can see this happening.

Or Atlanta with the 8 lane highway that you have to somehow get across from the left lane when merging on just to get off at the next ramp. Or the interchange in Tampa that it is widely known as the name Malfunction Junction because it's so jacked up and has accidents constantly. They keep widening it or "fixing" it but it's still the same mess it was 20 years ago.

Hate driving in Pittsburgh. I can see where I want to be, but which bridge lets me get there???

Yes! Lived in Pittsburgh for 11 years, and the Point area is absolutely bonkers, especially for as much traffic flow as it has. It's absolute chaos, but the view, coming from the airport into the city, where you emerge from the tunnel onto the bridge, to see the city scape ahead and to your right is just magical.

I lived in Pittsburgh for about 7 years. Sold my car after the first because I damn near had a panic attack every time I tried driving in or out lol.

I vote 35W where the bridge collapsed tragically. They didn't fix anything about 35W, there's still weird shit about how it interacts with 94

Weird that they didn’t go for a parclo as they are still able to build two out of four leaves, allowing for a parclo with lights on the secondary road only.

Or maybe they didnt have enough money. Also, I don't think that would be reasonable anyways as a cloverleaf would be overkill for a rural area/small town.

Or they did not need to. It is a bypass. If one wants to go to town, one turns on the previous intersection.

@@korasov Well the secondary road here is pretty straight so it's unlikely that the connection came to be before certain other connecting roads

should have just made an overpass roundabout, would simplify the traffic greatly and also save on space

The location doesn’t quite make sense as a trumpet, as the only part previously unplanned would be the arm leading out of town or the route going north if the road previously connects the west and south roads directly where there’s currently a slip road, the removal of either wouldn’t leave a complete trumpet interchange.

That is absolutely the reason, the town is meant to be accessed by the north and south intersections

Not sure what the American equivalent is, but the British equivalent is A-road

Just noting that what Germans consider "lower speed limit" is high speed limit for many other places. :P

@@sinteleon Well true :D To give some context: The Autobahn has no speed limit but rather a recommended speed of 130kmh/81mph. Those two roads in the intersection would still be seen as fast, they do have a lower speed in comparison

@@sinteleonYeah but they are still considered fast but just not as fast as the „Autobahn“ wich has a 120km/h or 130km/h speed limit in some places or as probably know no limit :D

@@DerMuffinisdaa as top gear says, if there is no autobahn, whats the point of germany?

Even a Bundestraße can have no speedlimits if's "Autobahn-like", with 2 lanes in each way physically sparated from each other.

Luckily it's Germany, so it's not going to be a corn field

@@pancakerizer I have no clue what crops they grow in Germany.

@@AndrianTimeswift like rye or some shit

@@pancakerizerIn Germany, we do grow corn. Combining all corn types we grow ~2,56 million hectares per year (~22% of the total agricultural land). The only crop we grow more is wheat at ~3,1 million hectares per year (~26% of the total agricultural land).

⁠​⁠@@pancakerizerWe grow ~0,63 million hectares of rye a year (~5% of the total agricultural land).

but even then, wouldn't a roundabout or two do? Can't imagine them taking up much more space, but I'm not an engineer, so 😂

@@nannasofie Technically yes one or two roundabouts on either side of the bridge would have taken up less space. The only thing I could think of for that is area they had to work with between farmer fields could have been too narrow? Also, it could get hairy dealing with roundabouts when you are dealing with highway speeds (not that the solution they came up with is any better in this regard lol). It's a tricky layout for sure.

In France, There was an highway (110km/h or 130km/h speed limit - 65 to 80MPh if I'm not wrong) where you have a traffic light, it was in the city. It was here for at least 15 years, maybe 20. It was changed to the cut-through street doing a kind of a loop under it. 50°56'11.2"N 1°51'09.3"E The area is call "Le pont du Leu" because of the bridge (le pont) and the street "r(am)pe du Four à chaux" was going to the street "Cité des cheminots" with an intersection going to the round-about. There were many t-bones accidents there.

The 347 here in Arizona (Pinal County) is a 65 MPH road, about 18 miles long, with 4 traffic lights on them (they added a fourth within the past few years - yes, they ADDED a new one RECENTLY) The sides of the road are littered with crosses from all the people the damn road has killed... especially around the traffic light at 347 and Riggs... I've honestly wondered after how many people have died on a single road does it become haunted.

@@danese1636that road is cursed. But many roads in az are!

Even if not active the owners may not of wanted to sell. Not sure how much power railroads have but locally it takes a lot to move/remove any land designated for the railways.

@@Swarm509 Good point. Getting a new railway route designated is incredibly hard (see: any city trying to add modern commuter rail nowadays) so not surprising that any current rail owners vigorously defend their corridors for possible future use, even if they have no current or planned usage.

Yeah I see no problems with this. There are plenty of junctions in Italy with similar features. They are used in places where you want to keep the traffic flowing fast, but there isn't actually THAT much traffic so back-ups are not really an issue.

I think that because of the shape and sizes of the intersection combined with the center patch of farm land and the farmland so close to the road. They couldn't build bridges or clover leaves over land not theirs. So the little bit that was given to them Is what they had to work with.

Definitely one he should check!! Stau oder stockender Verkehr am Brütiseller Kreuz. Probably the most popular phrase in swiss radio stations xD

Honestly what's worse is the 3W onto Manessestrasse because of the failure of the Zürcher Ypsilon portion of the federal highway system. There have been accidents where cars fly off the Sihlhochstrasse and plummet into the Sihl river below.

@@CannibalCory also an awful one. I drive there daily by bike underneath to go to work… 😅

@@retusrieben6487 Yeah, that phrase stuck with me for years xD

I am german and all cars i know have the steering wheel on the left side

what do you mean by MOST?

in the UK, some cars are left-hand drive, despite the majority being RHD. I'd imagine the opposite is true in Germany, perhaps from imported vehicles from the UK ​@@bidmocoy

@@wolfy4612 ive seen a few lads who imported a car from the uk, so they have right hand drive but its the far minority

@@Sebi_gd What cars were those? Except for UK only limited edition something or old timers there's not really a reason for it since every car built in UK also has a left hand drive version for export anyways.

But then there would be no reason to build it as [edit: a junction in that "high speed slip lane" style], and they could have made the de-prioritized "straight" direction come into the loop at a 90° angle.

@@Pystro no, because they can take and store more cars and also make traffic more smoothly. But if traffic engineering overdoes it, they will create more traffic which won't fix anything. One more lane won't fix it

but surely it could be more safe

@@ronal8824 what makes you think it's not safe?

@lycrist_kat8116 mabye the nearly unregulated crossover roadways through oncoming traffic, particularly ones that block the drivers veiw of traffic begind. in theory the yeild signs would do good but in practice one must take into account Murphys law

Didn't you hear the "hello fellow engineers" at the start? For the duration of an RCE video, you _are_ an engineer.

Super efficient design

exactly. The main road (over the bridge) is a national road and would be comparable to a small highway. The other roads around this intersection are only for regional importance (to the west) and local importance (to the east, because the town has 2 other interchanges).

Where’s your planet crafter at mate???!

@@Mehrunes86 zooming in, that looks more like 30 houses. I don't even wanna call that a village.

@@maskharat Never studied it, that close😂

The speedlimit seems to be 100km/h, I didn't see any signs saying otherwise & that is the standard speed for a Landstraße. Also the rail is out of service (there are trees on the track). One saving grace(ish) is that the road turns away from the track onto the interchange... (and the railcrossing is marked on the actual road 100m before as it should be when the road goes faster than 80km/h). And yes I did go check it out in maps.

"A train crossing just-" I'm fucking done.

1. yes 2. as long as its the fastest route. ped streets are not car free. They are just very low speed limit (basically). 3. I dont believe so. 4. No 5. Yes 6. If you mean, "how many roads can I connect to a highway?". I'd keep it to 8 or less if you're using the premade roundabout tool. 4 or 5 is generally the most before traffic starts to become a problem. Assuming you're using highway roads, keep it simple. 7. No. Taxi stands are for passengers to walk to, to wait and be picked up at. Generally with taxis in the game, you practically cannot have enough. They seem to always be driving around and never stop to wait at a taxi stand. Dont go building a whole fleet of taxis though. 8. wut 9. City planner plays has a video on it. 10. Some maps have snow. It comes and goes in the winter. Generally throughout the whole map.

Reading comprehension is a harsh mistress, I know. 1. But under what circumstance do they walk on the side of Highways? Because I've seen them do it but a builder should employ tactics to discourage them. 2. Nothing new mentioned here. If supposedly Pedestrian streets work exactly as normal ones as you say (except maybe parking), you still didn't mention if police cars have an effect on their tendency to do so. 3. Okay. If the arrows mention different settlements, wouldn't that mean a truly different distinct civil connection? Different exchange of citizens? Added amount of exchanges? I did some minor testing and the difference seems to be transportation method. Connections in the same general location and direction seems to differ if train, road-or-highway, plane, or ship. 4. Really? Don't like firetrucks get bogged down in traffic? People tend to build tunnels narrowly. Two lanes can get clogged easy. 5. Yes WHAT? :D 6. Okay. But 8 what? Two-ways? 4 or 5 what? One-ways? Yes I'm using highway roads. 7. Why not build a whole fleet of taxis? 8. Okay one very secluded example: What is the lowest bridge (for example) a 4x4 house could fit under? A 20-meter-high bridge? Something lower? Higher? So one can plan zoning sizes under bridges of different types, height, and road type. 9. From among those that I *haven't* seen none of his conventional tutorial videos are new enough to detail such a new feature. What is the name of his video that details WATERFRONT HOUSING zoning sizes so I can look into it? Don't put a link here, braindead youtube will delete it. 10. Ok which maps have snow? -.- True actual snow that falls on lowland level, not just mountaintop white peaks. All of them that can have a temperature lower than 0°C?

@@rudolphantler6309 Why would you dis my reading comprehension when I'm just trying to help you answer your questions. Not to mention the rest of your comment is quite rude. If you want people to actually reply to you on the internet and have a worthwhile conversation, you should work on that. Also RU-vid is a terrible place for this. You'd be much better served by making a post on reddit or the paradox forums. Or even some of these could be answered by just opening the game and testing it out for yourself.

@@adamt195 Gee why could I have made an accurate assessment? Maybe because 1 out of 10 responses of yours were somewhat useful and your inaccuracy could have been avoided if maybe you had read my questions more thoroughly? If that is even possible for you because I am not a person who knows your capabilities, obviously. Having a certain amount of eagerness is a nice thing to have, hands down, but not only are most of your replies useless - not to mention you didn't even bother clarifying my more precise re-questioning - but do you know how many useless answers people need to deal with on here and how many of them could have been avoided by either having more reading comprehension or paying more attention to the questions? I suspect your actual problem is, either deep down you know I'm right or I'm not the first to tell you. AND/OR maybe you are not the type of person who can give precise approach answers - in which case I guess I should apologize, even if my critique was on point. Eh what the hell, if you recognize yourself in this last category feel free to be granted one. If by rude you mean PRECISE, then you have yet another problem. Because my replies clearly indicate that your responses lack a precision basis. Another thing you are wrong about is RU-vid, which is a perfect place for this, have been using it for ages for the same and it works, and people occasionally do appear who can give precise answers, we form long friendships, play different games together, go to their wedding, come barbecue at our place, et cetera. Crazy how worthwhile conversations can happen if conversations are actually worthwhile due to precision, ey? So don't worry, I ask all of my questions under many videos, but my main man CS2 info source is on vacation. And youtube is still more worthwhile than reddit. The latter can have the same amount of wonky reactions, the inmates from the loony bin are more in control so someone gets to be lied as and selected as the resident scapegoat "ray-cyste" to get his posts deleted randomly and unfairly, not to mention I have no use for a place that tells me to get more karma before I can post but won't let me get karma. So I never registered there in my life. The forums could have the same pseudo-useful ramblings, to put it lightly, because I know forums and all are the same. But I am planning to go there too, mainly for different reasons, just allow me the temporary courtesy of not being there *yet* . But if the main problem would be my supposed rudeness, then maybe it haven't occured to you that perhaps when responding to (point 5) an "A or B" question "Yes" isn't a helpful syntax??? :D :D :D O!!!M!!!G!!! Oh and testing is out of the question because I gambled on the experience of those who could have more than me and ask others so I can build my masterpiece city with all knowledge in hand.
