Help me fix my roads

[marklcfc 0]

I love this game but I always get problems with traffic, I don't even have 7,000 population yet so I need to fix traffic. Roundabouts seems to help but I can't have roundabouts everywhere. Currently I have this problem for instance, its a queue to get back onto the highway. I don't know how I'm supposed to get traffic back on to the highway properly, so I just did this. Would welcome some advice.

Most of the vehicles in your traffic jam are for delivering goods. Thus, it is important where to know where they come from and what the destination of those vehicles is. I guess they are from an industrial area in your city and they go to either your commercial zones or an outside connection. Therefore, it is important to make sure this way is the fastest way to get there. If you have other options available you could expand your network over there, dividing the traffic a little bit more. Next to that you can also activate the heavy traffic ban in the district on the right. This way trucks will avoid this area and find another route.

If those options don't work and you still have problems in this particular area you can widen some roads and the ramp to your highway. Take a look at Network Extensions if you want to have more options. A good use of roundabouts is to build them on top of the highway. If you build a (preferably large) elevated roundabout which functions as an entry/exit for the highway as well you can decrease congestion even further. If that doesn't work you can also build a new connecting highway with an intersection at this place. That could solve a lot of problems. However, that also depends on the general layout of your city, if there aren't enough zones to build such infrastructure for or if the problems are merely local it is probably not worth it. If you decide to build a highway you can take a look in the workshop for some intersections. There are pretty nice intersections on there as well, and they could also give you some inspiration if you want to build your own.

Hopefully, these suggestions could help you out. Good luck!

7k is a small city, i have my zone all separated, residential, industrial, comercial.

from my experienced as soon you have several, separated areas from the same especialization the traffic will be more disperse.

i have been playing a 340k population city, with 2 big residential areas and 4 comercial areas and etc, and the traffic is flowing better then before, however i have a very efficient transportation system.
