A whole weekend to play and update 7 worked perfectly. No traffic incidents, trucks services and buses worked normally without follow each other.. In fact, without the problems in traffic, I ended up using only two overpasses to relieve the main avenue. eg a trade depot in the far corner of the city worked perfectly exporting processors (trucks only). Still missing the one-way roads, but at least now I can focus more on development and less on city traffic problems. The city in question had nothing exotic in terms of layout of streets with a few 4-way intersections, university, one landmark and residents +100 k ... until now, no problems so far.

Yeah. I see that too... try to eliminate te 4 way intersections... this will help. But just help... Actually all my cities were ruined by traffic. I know I could do a better design (that's always true), but the game doesn't help at all: no one way roads (one of the most unrealistic aspects of the game), the no possibility to connect a road to a avenue without cross it, the bunch of service vehicles that follow each other (when it happens, if one get stuck, probably you'll loose all of them 'cause they freakin' follow each other!) and other stuffs, make the traffic management a very difficult task. See another guys facing the same problem, is sometimes a kind of relief... Prepare for a lot of bulldozing...

This guide is wrong. Of course the university increases HT industry, and more: if you want increase tech level up to 3, you must have a university. The college only increases tech level to level 2 and soon you'll be nagged about "unqualified workers"... Can you have both? Yes. Do you NEED both? No. This topic goes deeper on this: These videos does so: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri38TAYDebw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8byMUE9eZLw

It works on CXL 2011 but seems to interfere with industrial demand. I cant get the industries to grow up until drop their taxes to 10%. Fearing to loose money because this, I increase it to 15% and until now it seems to work.
