The Most Efficient City Start with the Traffic Eliminator in Hilly Strait City Ep 01 

That police chase after the donut van at the end was intense lol

I'm so glad I get to watch from the beginning this time! I'm excited. I've avoided the maps with such a low building percentage because it worried me that I'd have to cram people in on my PS4. I'll watch every episode.

0:05 daaaaaaaaang! #wow bro 💯 this is #dope right from the intro 😄 u got me!🤩🤩 🔥🔥🔥🔥 #beautiful #build

That Jazz music is absolutely perfect. Please use more of it

I think that a good “vanilla friendly” interchange for in the future (assuming the necessary roads are vanilla compatible) would be as follows: First, where you intend to put the interchange you make sure the highway roads are separated enough to be able to fit a bidirectional two lane road between them with one space separating the road from the highway. Second, split the road crossing over the highway into separate one way bridges of at least two lanes per bridge. Third, connect bidirectional two lane roads from the “highway median” up to the outside edge of each bridge. Fourth, attach the other end of the two lane roads of the previous step to each side of the highway with one lane one way ramps. Fifth, put little roundabouts at each end of the bridge. This should allow for relatively free flowing traffic on and off the highway using the roundabouts for left hand turns in a space about the same as a standard diamond interchange.

This video is a work of art. OMG that was relaxing and inspiring to watch!

I liked the design so much that i made a live stream about starting a new city in Spanish and copied the bridge feature and the general outlook of the city. (I am not used to playing without move it so i messed up the rings lol) But a few points: Water border has a naturally higher land value you are not taking advantage of. School and general services distribution and availability make building to level up faster another missed opportunity in your video. Otherwise great content!

First time I have seen someone Parklife cheese their entire city! Genius idea, enjoyed the video!

Hey there, I loved this setup so much, I've gone and made it in the asset editor and uploaded it to the Workshop and Nexus... Credited you with the idea and added links to this video. I hope you don't mind ;) I sent you a friend invite on Steam so I can add you as co-creator in the workshop... To find it, just look for "Traffic Eliminator" in either the Workshop or the Nexus. I added some personal touches: - Used the 4 lane European bridge from the CCP instead of the 2 lane (To improve traffic flow) - Used basic pedestrian paths instead of the Park paths from the DLC - Used a 4 lane one-way to exit (to improve traffic flow but kept a 2 lane one-way to enter (same reasoning) - Set up TMPE and IMT on the "roundabouts" (TMPE and IMT are optional, but you won't have the lines and TMPE changes)

13 mins in and im liking your style. actually it was earlier but i starter to write this at the 13th min mark. 😛🤙

Nice input, about time I start a new one with the recent extensions. Thanks for that 😁👍

OMG! I've been playing this game for a year and the whole time I've been wondering why there are 2 sliders in the budget. The most random thing can be amazingly helpful! Thank you so much you've earned yourself a sub today 😁

absolutely awesome build! just started a new save on ps5 so i have to try this too, thanks mate!

Great stuff! I've been checking out various builders and love you put this together. I'm excited to see how the traffic eliminator works at scale and how I can apply them to my console builds!

incredible. ill watch the whole series. i do think that paradox should reduce income based on distance traveled by personal vehicle.

Looking forward to your Train track ideas Excellent video

Great job! This is the first time I've seen anyone start their city the way you did. I got some good ideas from you lol. Thanks brooo. Tried following you on your socials, but sadly the links don't work. :(

Hi captain Ahvious, again great series! You're by far the most interesting C:S builder to follow and co-build cities with! Is the LARGE elementary school part of some DLC?

Great video. Lots of cool ideas.

Great build! But please read up on the “15min city” (urban planning concept) and make a vid about it :) The idea is that you build workplace (industry), residential and leisure/commercial areas close by each other so that all is walkable within a 15min radius, and no cars are needed for the daily life. The pollution area surrounding industrial zones are not that big, its possible to build e.g offices and commercial quite close to it. Your industry is very remote, requires car commute and is in a prime location close to the sea, which should probably be used for public space, residential or commercial. In general pedestrian connectivity could be improved. Aaanyway, happy to finally see builds again from the best yt city builder channel out there ✌🏼😉

Yeah! A new city! That's great!!

are you from ph? haha cause of the accent. new subscriber! really good info as well. thanks!

Very nice video! Question: I play CS on console and only have the Vanilla version. Which map would you say (from Vanilla) would be the best to use in order to follow this tutorial? Thanks a lot.

A Filipino Cities skylines player. Thank you. Now, make a scale replica of Manila, then fix the traffic and pollution. Salamat.

waiting for the next episodes

Awesome Captain. Just saw the new series.

Was the anarchy on/collision off the whole time...? Love the bossa nova piano BGM!

Solid ng content mo bro!

Have you used the Realistic Population Mod? You need to zone a LOT of residential areas to increase population. But it fixes high density housing. Its challenging to me. But i still consider myself a noob.

Looks really great! Would like to try your design, but i can´t play this game anymore, the updates broke my 200h city 6 months ago, and this time i m not starting all over again.

Tax at the start can be higher. I use 14% with no problem. They start complaining when they level up. Each time they complain just drop the rate by 1% but only for the ones complaining. If, say, residential complains, there's no need to drop commercial or industry taxes. You'll be surprised how far you can get in the game before you have to drop all taxes to 12%. If you're happy to go without educating citizens while building up your city, they won't level up and you won't need to drop the tax rate and you'll make more cash. One situation which will require the tax rate to be dropped is if you use specialised zoning because they are all automatically at the highest level and will start whining instantly.

If I may offer a suggestion. It would be nice to know 'why' you are doing each step and how each step contributes toward a desired outcome. For the first 15 minutes I hear only what you will do, then you do it, but not 'why' it will contribute to 'eliminating' traffic. 'I will do this or that now', and then you do 'this or that'. Please explain why you are doing something and how it is relevant as you do things. If I am going to forgo 30 mins of my miserable life to watch something I want to know why I am doing it, and how I will benefit.

Are you an engineer? I'm a civil engineer. I know what we can and can't in real life, that makes me really appreciate your CS channel. Please make new upload more regularly as a response from make me not enjoy other CS channels anymore 😅.

🤩🤩🤩

Great stuff as always.

Well when I was playing City skylines my people had no problem during the beginning rounds of building my small city you can start doing 13% tax now because it won't affect it if you're doing the on starting tile 😁 which it works instead of doing 12% taxing

That looked great! Too bad you didn't showed the traffice flow, I guess it is between 85 and 90%?

Wow, a new city! Is this means the end of Noyu Port or it will be two series in parallel?

Correction ... The DOT is a node. The squares are units.

Love the ideas, thank you

Looking very lovely.

Reluctantly gave a like; avoid overusing words, especially the word Actually!

Best Builder!

Why do you have the roundabouts going left? Shouldn't they be going right with left hand drive?

Admittedly i only watched the first half of the video. But i don’t understand why you placed the fire department in the residential area, since the industrial area has a much higher risk of fire. Also placing the commercial directly on the main road seems contrary to avoiding blocking main roads with delivery vans.

Hi I’m new here and was just watching your build for ideas and such for my city. Was just wondering tho, where are the high density school? I just got to that part so forgive me if it’s later in the video. I was just wondering.

What mods and or DLCs are you using?

Muy bonito todo ❤

Do you use mods, or are you just playing vanilla?

ok ima go pickup the map pack 2 brb

very good

Very clever

what map theme are u using, pls reply

There isn't an inland water treatment plant available without mods

Really cool city. But why would you put more than one elementary school in The same place. That doesn't make sence

I’m actually liking the plot of your city design. However, I noticed every-time you are using skywalks, you intend on using parking gates thereby generating “park income”. Isn’t that kind of cheating? I mean it aint a crime but it’s definitely triggering me😂😂😂 Nevertheless, love the series. Nung una kita napakinggan, alam ko na pilipino ka 😂. It’s nice to know na mai CS content creator na pinoy.

Out of content, are you pinoy? 😅

Worst city design. Here you need to buy tickets just for using the foot over bridge.

I genuinely hope you don't get to implement this anywhere in real life, 'cause this is a completely useless feature, with an overkill architecture and zero positive effect ! Jesus, and I thought I've seen it all !!!
