I’m a hardcore fan of Cities Skylines 1 and have been playing it for several years now. One issue I have though is how I go about making a highway system. It seems so complex, I don’t understand how I can connect place to place in a reasonable way and I feel like the only proper way to do it is to ravage through regions of my city to make massive interchanges and efficient routes. My strategy as a result is just using 6 lane roads as my “highways” and kinda just avoiding the idea of highways altogether. I’m so bad at it that my idea of creating an on/offramp is retrofitting roundabouts. I’d love to hear people’s thoughts on this and also how to get my mind thinking of the right ways to make good highways.
It’s complex. An intersection that works for an industrial block may not work for residential.
I generally go for a roundabout at ground level and a highway overpass for intersections.
Using transit to offload vehicles to rail which minimises the amount of highway needed.
