Windale. No mods (console) low traffic city 130k population. My best city yet!
Traffic rating consistently around 92%, only high density urban buildings, no mods because I'm on console, and no highways going through the city. This is my best city yet!
I got this by following a road heirarchy and making the large roads always go somewhere important, like the other side of the river, outside connections, the stadium, or job centers. Large roads are mainly filled with organic produce buildings for low traffic, medium roads are used for offices, and small roads for housing. Residential and commercial are linked by parks, my main money source and crucial for raising property values. A lot of traffic is on foot or on bikes. The rest is in a robust transit network with busses bringing people to parks or metros, and metros bringing people to other districts. Districts are mainly either residential clusters or job sites like industry or leisure, and are divided by crisscrossing large roads. I have a few 4 way intersections, but I mainly try to use T intersections. I also have a few complex intersections where I try to gove every lane a way to turn without blocking other lanes (see last picture).
It's a European inspired city where I try to avoid grids. It has a nice open, cozy look despite being dense. Unfortunately, I am bad at naming places so the name has no real meaning.
