Cities Skylines 2 Traffic Fixes
Cities Skylines 2 still struggles with traffic modeling, even with the sequel [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qm5MthdeV8]. Players are using mods like Traffic Light Enhancement to break gridlock [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qm5MthdeV8].
The reliance on mods so early in the game's life highlights unresolved issues from the original Cities Skylines. The first game also needed extensive modding to fix traffic and other problems. The AI's inability to handle complex intersections seems to be a core problem. Players report that even simple roundabouts can become major bottlenecks. The "Traffic Light Enhancement" mod allows players to manually adjust traffic light timings. This gives them direct control over traffic flow, a feature absent in the base game. Some players are also using mods to adjust lane mathematics and road hierarchy. These tweaks force the AI to use roads more efficiently, reducing congestion.
