This time I try some new techniques in Mini Motorways to try and get high scores. First I try using strategically placed roads to block buildings from spawning, then I go all out with UNLIMITED TRAFFIC LIGHTS in Mini Motorways and place them at every junction. From the makers of Mini Metro comes Mini Motorways! A highway engineering puzzle game and in this video I, a highway designer of 10 years, see if my real life engineering skills help me become better at the Mini Motorways puzzle game by segregating different colours to fix bad traffic!
As always, if you enjoy the video please give it a LIKE and subscribe to the Real Civil Engineer channel and enable notifications so you can be the first to know when I post future videos! Thanks!!

Because journeys are determined by the pulls from shops, you can basically guarantee that with true perpendicular traffic flows, the traffic lights will eventually synchronize. And if they synchronize and there's also leading capacity, one late or early person wouldn't bung it up anyways.

The reason why it skipped doling out tiles on Moscow at the end of your run was because you were holding down the 'Delete Tiles' button. If you hold down either the 'Build' or 'Delete' functions through Sunday to Monday, then the game won't stop and give you your tiles. It will, however, give them to you after you've released them for at least a second; so you can technically postpone your weekly allowance if you want.

If you didn't use them sarcastically, you might notice that traffic lights are better in the game than in real life, and roundabouts are worse than in reality. If a car gets a green light, then it can turn left through a solid line of oncoming traffic ignoring collision. If traffic is bad enough on a roundabout, then cars will stop in the circle to let others in, which should never happen. As far as the game's questionable physics is concerned, traffic lights are helpful because they decrease the stop sign effect of 4-way intersections as long as they aren't placed back to back everywhere.

@Spookyhoobster
@Spookyhoobster 2 роки тому
Even though in theory the in-game traffic lights are better than IRL and the roundabouts are worse, in practice the traffic lights just don't do enough in terms of increasing the throughput of traffic compared to the roundabouts. A traffic light (if used correctly) can make things a little smoother in a suburb so people can get in and out of their houses a little more efficiently, but it's never going to be a real difference maker. Not saying you should never pick them (almost always more useful than a 4th bridge), but you should almost never pick a traffic light over a roundabout.

@rahn45
@rahn45 2 роки тому
I've used roads to block the shops from spawning, and from what I've figured the game will always grow the number of trips required regardless of how many shops you have. So if you have 1 shop but the game wants 10 trips, that 1 shop is going to have to support the 10 trips; if you let a new shop spawn then both those shops will divide the load and only want 5 each. In effect, blocking shops from spawning is a sort of 'hard-mode' for the game in where you're using your roads to block new shops while what few shops you do allow have incredibly high demands for trips to them.

In game traffic lights can help speed main routes at junctions with a quiet road. They create gaps by bunching local traffic, so they can move a little quicker after. But roundabouts are simply better early game, using space helps then, while later on you often have no room HydroPhil showed ultimate blocking in a video 😁 If your games went similarly, you score slowly but when the dam bursts, you cannot keep up due to massive demand.

The basic idea though is to block storefront spawns that are in non ideal locations and leave a space where you want it. Statistically if there is only one place to fit a store, it will put it there first instead of blocking it with a house. then its just a matter of not making 4 way stops. This will require a bit of knowledge about how big the map is when fully zoomed so you can try and get roads pre placed to make the arterial and the distributor roads. sorry if not well explained its currently 1am and I'm sleep deprived. xD

Hi dear Russian Bashnya. Randomness makes Life Spicy, so here you have some Random Request of mine: Can you consider using the reportbutton as it was once intended to? To help? I mean, Reality has the Policephonenumber and youtube has its r-button. Both exist for a reason - duh? Many like to only report a Racist (f at all) the literal Second they themselves are under verbal Attack from 1... thats... not very strategic though? Hope you consider. Honestly... People are prone to looking away; and 2020/2021 has only writtled down people's spirit further... I hope you acan bring yourself to report some people, so YT can be without random verbal attacks for someone's S-Colour... or even favorite Cartoon?!? Yes, this last thing literally happens, too... Sorry, I'm not a big Speechmaker, just some Guy who had enough success with his idea to now ask people: Why not join? I can give you a Tutorial!

Traffic lights are there to moderate the road use to make it safe in terms of car accidents and pedestrians, two things not modeled in the game. So the only thing you actually get from them is the side effect - traffic jams. So basically you get all of the downsides of traffic lights with none of the upsides. They look neat though.

I would love to see more of you properly playing Mini Motorways! I love your strategies and how you go about playing the game, so i hope you'll do more of those, although there are many "hacks" to prevent certain spawns, its just way more fun to watch a proper game, for me at least! :)

In my opinion, managing spawns may be the way to get high highscores, but it ruins the game for me. It becomes less about making efficient roads and more about constantly making sure nothing spawns, which isnt fun in my opinion.

I've noticed you generally approach infrastructure design retroactively, (understandable given the game design). I would be interested to see you employ a proactive design technique and introducing modern traffic control measures. Particularly using a "Bone" dual carriageway with 2x roundabouts as a backbone. Then scaling up with further roundabouts and forcing block design by boxing areas with roads.

stopping spawning helps for a little while but eventually demand goes so crazy that the 1 supermarket can't process enough traffic and you lose, the demand is based on the amount of total houses from what I can tell, and so the more houses you have compared to supermarkets the more demand there is. So eventually you spawn so many houses that the 1 supermarket cant handle all that demand.
@WilliumBobCole

I saw a behind the scenes of sorts for this game, I think it was a TED talk, and in it, they mentioned that businesses have a 1-tile border around where no other business can spawn, to ensure that no business is ever made inaccessible by another, I don't know if that knowledge helps MUCH for this technique, but it might save a road tile here or there since you don't need to cover right next to an existing business
