Traffic issue with cities

[tommyvercetti7 0]

I've noticed that with one of my cities the traffic is particularly heavy where the roads leave the city and then go into the city next door. there is a elevated motorway to take the traffic from the city out into the city next door but the sims just will not use it and decide to drive past the sliproads onto the motorway and decide to just go on with using the roads, which is then causing large traffic problems within the city. i have tried placing tolls on the roads that leave the city in order to encourage the traffic to use the highways but they will not! Does anybody know what is going on? do i need to have more motorways going into the city next door as where the highway leaves the city, currently it is in the corner of the map - and the sims tend to want to leave the city via the roads in the middle of the map, should i build a highway where they are all leaving and ruin some bits of two cities to see if it works?

i hope this doesnt just seem a load of rubbish and not make sense to you guys!

If you can post some pictures about your transit network so we can see your problem, I'm sure that I or someone else will be able to help you on the issue. Do you have the NAM installed?

Did you compleat the elavated highways in the citys next to yours also try removing the slammer roads so the only way to leave your city is by way of the highway( that rhymed:0)

below is a link to the image of the road plan

you can see the roads leaving the bottom of the city are read and this is making the roads around them red aswell. you can also see the elevated motorway running alongside the border, just a bit below the bottom of the picture the motorway then turns left with a cloverleaf juntion into the next city. i was thinking would it just be better to give up with trying to get sims to use the highway and to just carry on with the avenue you can see in the city?

i have now extended the avenue you can see in the pic to the city next door and thta has jsut made it much worse!

the roads that were red are still red and now the road all along the bottom of the picture is now all red along the bottom half, the avenue has over 10,000 sims using it, shall i palce a highway where the avenue is?

if possible have the highway north of the avenue in the photo this will disperse the traffic more evenly

i have to say put more public transit i saw a mass of $ res put a bus stop in the area and a bus stop on the other side where u think they go to work that will ease conjestion put subways too

plus sim city pathfinding is shortest  distanse not the fastest route to work NAM fixes that
