Factors affecting the traffic in Cities Skylines:

  • Citizens:
  • Students commuting from/to schools.
  • Workers commuting from/to workplaces.

  • Tourists visiting different places in the city.

  • Services

  • PostOffice cars
  • Garbage disposal cars
  • Cargo cars
  • Police cars
  • Firestation cars

  • Healthcare cars (cermatorium, hospitals, etc..)

  • Roads:

  • Small road intersections make huge traffic
  • Setting lane rules can reduce traffic significantly: TMPE MOD
  • Adding public transportation reduces the demand
  • Random Parking spons in the middle of the road increase traffic
  • Creating specific paths for pedestrians and biks will improve traffic
  • Road distribution: When choosing routes, citizens will choose the quickest route from A to B. For this calculation they assume there is no other traffic on the road. Citizens won't alter their route (or even their lane choices) once they've started, regardless of how much traffic they encounter. Thus, we might have to distribute the roads in a smart way to create less traffic.
