Show us your Rush Hour / Traffic Jams

[korver 27,685]

Another overwhelmingly crowded scene, this time from Africa, also my submission for the traffic competition.

See the rest of my "Scenes From Africa" update in my CJ True Earth here.

 

 

"There's plenty of crowded streets across the globe, but not many get as busy as those of Africa. From the crowded streets of Nairobi, Kinshasa, and Lagos in this case, just about every major African city is constantly buzzing with thousands of people and cars, and the ongoing flow of activity never seems to cease.  Street vendors and hawkers add to the traffic even more, and once you get stuck in traffic it can take an hour just to travel a couple of blocks. As you can see in this picture as well, markets will occasionally spill over into the streets, blocking off important travel routes and causing the congestion to intensify. In order for most people to just make it across town, the yellow 'danfos' (buses) that you see everywhere are a vital part of city life - but they in turn cause the traffic to worsen even more, so much so that they were actually recently banned in various places across the city."

@korver Wow  , That is one very busy place there in that image  . Looks like something the Oil Tycoons would love to see everywhere .

One more African traffic jam - who says traffic has to be limited to just cars? Picture taken on the Avenue of the Baobabs, Madagascar.

Here's one I got. Edit: The city now has 1 Million Sims.

I needed a extra photo.

Small Town Traffic Jam

Busy loop ramp

Perhaps widening it to two lanes might help. Good thing I left some extra space!

...Nope, not really.

[Haljackey 17,392]

Ride a bus to work, or drive a bus to work?

Just a few garbage trucks:

[Haljackey 17,392]

Ha! Reminds me of this:

 

[Terring 6,476]

Holy poop! I wonder if somebody is going to give a poop about it! What a poopy situation!

OK, enough with the poop jokes

[philforhockey51 4,220]

you mean you're pooped with the poop jokes?

[popo123456 96]

[Haljackey 17,392]

Loopty loop

[Haljackey 17,392]

Poor planning: the ramps with the lowest capacity are being used the most:

 

Either no cars or clogged with cars

High usage:

Wow, you actually zoned low-density!! I'm in shock!!

 

[Haljackey 17,392]

Bad crash

 

Maybe expanding the intersection might... Nevermind.

[Edvarz 1,985]

An old picture from 2014, when I was new to highway building, I felt kinda proud seeing rush hour traffic on my Interchanges!

9 de Julio Avenue - Buenos Aires, Argentina

 

[korver 27,685]

One of my favorite "traffic" jam pics I made during 2016 (not shown yet in a show us thread) - waiting for a couple of gators to move out of the way on the Transpantaneira in Brazil.

More South American scenes available in my "South America + Bonus Pictures" update here.

Two more congested urban scenes that I never got around to sharing here. Taken from my last update of 2016, rest available here.

Yaounde, Cameroon

 

 

9 de Julio Avenue - Buenos Aires, Argentina

 

WOW! You never cease to amaze everyone here. Is this 'real' traffic or are these custom LOTs with static (not moving) cars on top of road textures? 

[korver 27,685]

@Hellken Thanks For scenes like those, they have to be static lots, I don't think it would even be possible to have functional roads like that. So every car and person is plopped by hand and every texture is created from scratch.

Left the simulation to run wild while I was doing other stuff. Well lo and behold, a gridlock.

This photo is eerily similar to the traffic situation in the town I work in! Except there's only one conventional rail line, which I would take if they sent Amtrak there more!

[Haljackey 17,392]

Busy on ramp:

Bus only interchange?

[Haljackey 17,392]

Still not wide enough
