This is how pathetic England is: This morning, I don't start college until 11, so I helped my mum with the shopping. We pulled out onto the main road near our house to find ourselves in a mile tailback. It took ages to find out what was wrong: Two crappies had a fender bender (Straight road, 1 lane splits into two, not exactly difficult), nobody died, and the dumbass police couldn't be bothered to shove the cars out of the way. This affected a junction lower down where two main roads stagger onto an avenue. How nice.

[burwellian 16]

Thats what happens when you try to fit so many cars into such a small road network, which is way over-streched. Then you've got the abysmal railway network, buses which are never on time, Underground trains which are derailing every other month... Our transport infrastructure is rubbish...

Wooah that's crazy man I'm glad I don't have to drive in that city.

I wanna share my happyness, THE MOD IS WORKING !!

 

Look this traffic is getting worser in my cities:

[Mdz1001 0]

Alkaola, it looks like the mod has also forced some wild animal traffic on the highways as well.

 

Good mod, unusualfire. I may download it later.

[hackinosa 29]

Is it a mod to give you traffic? Interesting...

[BarbulaM1 38]

I have one for it and I will ask the person whom made it if I can post it here. I will post it in this post after premission

[Morhavoc 166]

I use BETTER pathfinding as well, i think this one will show more traffic, although i haven't noticed any real difference in commute time using the PERFECT one which will increase usage of cpu so i don't use it. It seems if you want more traffic use the better pathfinding one. It creates some crazy traffic. Although i don't know if it affects usage of MT, recently busses are far too overused in my cities and they outnumber cars on the highway by like 44,000 busses to like 4000 cars which is weird as hell. Maybe i just have a good MT system, but its not very real seeing a mile tailback and ALL busses in the jam LOL. I'll try get some pics of it at rush hour, it looks pretty cool actually since i use different varieties of buses in my sc4.

So cool! I see one heck of a lot of traffic, real ones... Sadly, with all the PLOP hi-rises I use..

Anyway, can anybody edit the rates, or whatever so that it matches up with the Network Addon Beta? It would be cool to see the 10x commute, 10x speed, and a lot of traffic at once...

[unusualfire 0]

It's already edited at 10x, so you won't get abandonment for bad commute times.

[Cactaur55 0]

... I already have the 10x, but it would be nice if someone would just add that respawn thing so that there will be an Illusion that there is traffic... The game can get lonely sometimes

[unusualfire 0]

Hmmmm The mods that i have edited if from darkmatters mod one is the automata which i edited the file to show more cars per second during simulation. The other mod was the betterpathfinding mod which has capacities of highways and such, which i lowered, but the 10x speed always had stayed there to avoid abandonment. You can use trafficop to edit the file, if you want to add more speed to the network. With the 2 mods working together you should not be getting commute times more than 20 or 30 mins, even though the highways can be in gridlock.lol

Edit:
Ohhhh I see what you are talking about. I just read through that thread and they use it's own automata and pathfinding files in order for the cars to use the new network structures. It can be done sure. All you need is to edit the dat files from that mod using the programs i have mentioned in earlier pages and find the right variables and change them to make traffic look bad on the new network structures. i'll have ot look into that. but i don't think i would do anything until the bugs are worked out.

[unusualfire 0]

your wish is my command. For those of you that want the traffic without lowering the capacities. I have good news.

traffic success

Traffic News: ....2 mile tailback Northbound on Monte Cristo Freeway route 802..... Due to overturned freight truck on intersection 12A.... Expect 8 hour delays 2 lanes also closed for 1/2 a mile

Expect 8 hour delays

Holy crap... you'd do better offroading in a power wheels than waiting in that mess!

Ed_Diaz, I don't know what the heck your problem is with mods.    You complain about them and boast that you don't need any mods when, frankly, your traffic sucks!  I have mods, yes, and hey guess what?  My traffic is realistic and I never see any of this unless it is on a highway where there is no other option.

[Mexicanboy13r 12]

Can someone just send meeh to the mod that lets traffic

like this i know its the mod just under the post but its not no big traffic JAM?

See here a pic of a really problematic jam!

I just took the mod out of my signature because there was no more need to lower capacities of highway to get the jams.
You can find more of what I did here
Just edit the appropriate *automata.dat file and then you're off.

That is one of the nicest highways i've seen, where did you get those palm tree features? or did you make them yourself.

Well, looking into it, I think hose are probabily from N7 but I don't know where they would be avaible since I remember he made some that looked like that before. Also, that looks awsome! Gotta love that traffic!

[Morhavoc 166]

I always notice on highways in sc4 that the 3rd lane is hardly ever used even if there is a huge jam. I doubt this is the 'hard shoulder' or a service lane as you don't often see 2 lane highways. In that pic above that lane acts as a motorbike lane lol.

[Alkaola 18]

hey morhavoc , these palms are from n74 , he gaves me the model files and i made lots from it

 

 

Thanks

I noticed that too, that the third lane is under used. I have found a work around of some sorts. it does not work everytime but works sometimes. I change the change lanes settings from 8 meters to 30 meters. Once i have done that you can see more traffic changing lanes in some of the jams. Here is the file, it's the same one that does not lower capacities too.

[SockoJr53 51]

Those are some intense traffic jams, maxis should have just made the automana do this without us having to install a plugin, oh well, I will try it anyway
