Offline-Only Mod: "UniDirectional Networks (UDoN)" 1.9 / 1.7

Is there a hope to use this online in the future? One of the best things during online games is visiting nearby cities to see how they are expanding. SimCity staff helped by releasing 10.1, but why didn't they let us use one way roads online? It's so unfair...

@ciaolo the decision and choices made were not ours although we were there through the pre creation of the paths and decline of interest.  Some of us knew and know that the community wants these items more than gold since they represent key foundation improvements.

 

If we can find out and figure out a way to give them to everyone we will trust.  THATS NOT just myself speaking but a bunch of people and those whom feel the same way.

no .. you would have to create a slightly different intersection to do what you wish by using over and underpasses with ramps unless you don't want any traffic to go beyond that point and you could simply make a one way intersection

 

kill the ave

go from ave to 4 way each direction and not allow the decision by sculpting

Can't kill the freeway stub at city entrance. No matter how a local street or any of your one-ways joins it, even with a one side T join, the median at the join is always opened up, so opposite traffic can u or left turn. It would be nice to have a kind of restrictive one-ways, that are either inaccessible or undetectable by the wrong side traffic at the T join. Unfortunately, any sculpting has got to be beyond that evil join.

Otherwise, I wish some day we can have the regional freeway allowing independent inbound/outbound connections. No left turn and no u turn are major traffic management policies under certain circumstances.

@xoxide thank you for your passion (and this great tool).

 

I'm a computer scientist and can understand the planning process and its limits.

I'd like to tell something to the SimCity developers to make them think.

 

All agents but cars (and maybe pedestrians?) move freely along roads, without stops at intersections and congestions. This was a reason for their initial plan of no uni-directional roads. Cars and trucks, as agents, are much slower than all the other agents. Possible solution: no collision between cars and no stops at intersections.

If we can't have this solution, we must realize that the traffic management is fundamental in order to make everything work ok. This problem is solved only by allowing uni-directional roads to attack the traffic problem and have a fair match against it.

 

UDoN is great for traffic management and shows what the true power of this fantastic game could be if it was available online. It can be ok with only the classic roads turned into uni-directional without highways.

I'm not sure I understand what your problem is, but if you want to reduce u-turns in incoming traffic, you can add a little intersection at the entrance before a roundabout or some other intersection you have in mind (T shaped or whatever). Every incoming car that needs to u-turn will do so at the first little intersection and all the other cars will go forward and choose your planned paths at the second, important intersection.

@Ciaolo
I'm seeking an option to unprovide the crossing of the median of bi-directional roads at joins.

Awesome mod !

One little modification i would like to see tough is the speed at wich the cars enter the highway when coming from a ramp. They always stop just before they get on the highway making it back up the traffic behind it. Same goes for the connection with the normal roads or avenues with ramps.

A road type i would love to see is like an "avenue end" that splits your avenue up in 2 or 3 seperate incomming and 2 or 3 seperate outgoing lanes like you see at some city connections to the regional highways. I think that would solve the problem, those can then also be used to make custom intersections eliminationg all traffic issues related to intersections and T-splits.

 

Keep up the awesome work

You have a bi-directional road ---- that splits up ---== and you can add intersections to the incoming and outgoing roads, and after them they join again in the original bidirectional road --=,'=---

I think this will do.

@Ciaolo

Your ==,'== middle sections are as smooth as can be, great idea!
Yet --0== opens the spot 0 for median crossing, and then ==0-- adds another 0 opening, not what I want.

The problem is, as soon as any split is made on a bi-directional road, its median breaks open for crossing.

@all in general speed is an issue if cars go to much faster agents actually pass the off ramps and can't make turns

 

if roads go to big greater than 5 lanes on a road agents could come to complete stop depending on circumstances

 

some aspects are due to more being required on the back end which doesn't exist at all so we have to make due with the resources at hand.

in many ways roundabouts are the solution to intersections for points where you need to split roads to the correct one ways.  WHY because they are yields not lights at all and do not allow cross overs

Yeessss!!! Simcity 4 has returned, only with better graphics. I loved the custom road project(s) from SC4 where you could do your own style of network roads. Now, you have just made that possible with SC5!! Love it!! :D Thank you!!!!

If you don't want this, try and use always double uni-directional roads instead of bi-directional roads. Actually, I'll start a new city with only uni-directional roads to see what new levels of mess I can create! :p Of course, at the entrance(s) of the city you must use a little intersection with a dead-end road that incoming u-turners can use before they reach the first split.

Elevated with ramps above the ave is another thought if you wanted to try and save space yet create same idea which was something we did as well

 

but the behavior of the automatic roundabout's are different than hand drawn roundabouts if you didn't realize it. 

it does not show up in my game at all

This modification is the one that thousands of us have seeked since SC4, one way roads, thanks so much!

I finally got a chance to play with this mod and it is awsome!! Thanks to all involved! Keep up the good work!

I been waiting for this MOD, but I have downloaded it so many times and still not working.

I did the 10.1, renamed the file. and it is going to the right folder and still nothing.

I have other MODs that work but this one just doesn't. I feel bad for posting this because I know some ppl

are not reading the posts before they post. but I just don't know what to do.

OK un stalled the game and reinstalled it. and still nothing working.. Hopefully maxis(or whoever) makes someone like this so I can just pay for it and it works.

 

What a long week for nothing... :(

I have a few "bugs" and improvements to suggest:
First, when doing ramps, it annoyingly snaps to connections. We need a way to disable snaps:

 

-Next it would be awesome if we could make the tram go through roundabouts:

 

Last: This mod is great! All other needed is some graphical enhancements on intersections and such. :) thanks for an awesome mod!

Hi, I need help.It is first time do it. what I do? I want one way road mod? I have mac computer 

I put the UDON package into my SimCityData folder but I don't see the Udon roads in the roads menu? Only the regular roads.

I'm telling you that AGAIN:

 

EVERYTIME I START SIMCITY, IT CRAHES INSTANTLY MESSAGE:

 

"SimCity™ has stopped working"

 

CHANGING THE NAME BY ADDING A "1" IN FRONT OF THE FILE NAME DOESN'T WORKS!

 

FIX THIS PLEASE!

I tried to download and nothing happens. File not available?
