Pinwheel Road Layout

Here is a road layout I am trying.

I tried this before. works great. but when I went to high density, I  needed several connections to the main avenues, because sims are not smart enough to take the less congested one,.

I keep waiting for it to blow up but so far so good. At 350k population now with about 2/3 high density and the rest medium density. I have 30 trash trucks coming in from a neighboring city and they can still get around. Keeping my fingers crossed that I can get close to 600k and then make adjustments to get it over the top.

Looks cool. Can you post your land value map? Or do you just have low wealth sims?

 

I guess this would work well for a RCI only city, not sure how it would work out with a specialization.

Trying to keep low wealth. I still don't have the achievement for maxed city hall. The 1x1 centers all have low wealth parks so I imagine those could be replaced with higher wealth.

Got it up to 455k population. I still have quite a few commercial zones to upgrade which will allow me to replace some of the industrial with more residential. Which will also cut down on the nuisance hazmat fires. Traffic is good. Crime, health and regular fires are all manageable.  Still sitting between 80 and 85 approval. 600k population is looking possible but I think it will be very close.

awesome! i guess i should try it again...always afraid of high density.

I cracked 600,000 population. traffic is very heavy but little to tolerable congestion.
