Managing traffic is so frustrating

@Panos Thx for the help. But I solved the problem, I just posted in the first place, to let people know that the Agents in this game are making u-turns on the highway, what can cause a massive traffic jam in the region highway. -

@Zpike, in real life, if you are trying to make a u-turn on the highway. You are going to die in a horrible car crash, or at least loose your driving license and maybe even go to jail. Maybe 1 guy would do that in reallife, but not thousands every day. In real life, traffic lights adjust their red periods to the amount of cars that are waiting in each lane, there are more street signs not just STOP, buses have schedules, people don´t go to the first free job in the morning and to the first free house in the evening,... Sim City 2013 is not realistic and no simulation. But it can still be fun. -
One of my cities had a big problem with to much traffic at the freeway exit and an extremly long traffic jam at the freeway. First, I tried to solve that problem by offering a railway connection for the people commuting in. Several thousands of people use it, but it still didn´t solve the problem. So I made a bus terminal. But busses from other cities just got stuck in the traffic jam at the freeway. I realized that just a fraction of the traffic jam is caused by cars that comming from the freeway. It is caused by people driving from their homes to their jobs or the university on the other side of the street. Instead of using a left turn on a crossroad, they turn right and drive to the freeway access and trying to make a u-turn, blocking the incomming traffic and jamming the freeway exit. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/580/simcity2013040921522448.png/ I tried to stop them from pulling this stunt, by deleting intersections near the freeway exit. It worked and solved the problem, and the going out of money problem of the people that stucked all day in traffic, because they tried to make a u-turn on the freeway access. So, if you have problems with traffic, maybe it is caused by this kind of sunday driver action of your city population.

I have a aproval rating of +85% and in the happines screen the bar of R C and I is in the happiest happy face region in all wealth/tech levels. Still there are a lot of protesters in front of the city hall and the manson. The one in front of the city hall are protesting without any reason given and the one infront of the manson protesting about high rent. I have 2 questions. 1. What can I do about high rent? Is it the same problem as high taxes, has it to do with the going out of money problem, or is it something else? 2. What conditions does my city to fullfill, so that there are no more protesting people? I hope you can help me, because my mayor is getting sick of all the people shouting at him, when he is geving a BBQ.
