How do you fix a problem with the controller?

I was told that I have a bug in the traffic controller. Apparently it treats and overpass as an intersection. As my city got to 300k the commute times just increased from 30 to 70 min. Anything I can do?

Technically, that's the traffic simulator; the controller refers to something else entirely.

You are correct in that the traffic simulator treats overpasses as intersections. Unfortunately, that's hardwired in the Maxis code, and we can't change it.

The two red squares you have showing are not going to make an observable effect on commute times; they each increase the commute time by about one second. The times shown in the commute time graph are in minutes per one-way commute. However, this graph is extremely buggy (again, due to Maxis code that we can't access), and I would recommend not paying any attention to it. Instead, just use the Data Views (as you're doing) and the Route Query Tool.
