3/18/2023 0 Comments Mini motorways cheat engine![]() Traffic lights significantly help with throughput at three way junctions.The reality is that both have different use cases, advantages and disadvantages: So there seems to be a general consensus across youtube, steam, reddit, discord and so on that traffic lights are useless compared to roundabouts or that even regular junctions are better (they aren’t). Good: Traffic Lights, Roundabouts, and Junctions However, you’re screwing your throughput as clustering will cause small traffic jams as cars fight to all turn in different directions in that one block, cars also have a slightly longer distance to drive if you’re pulling driveways back away from the shop to cluster them. Don’t cluster your driveways, yes clustering your driveways will give cars one or two extra blocks to speed up, this is a worthwhile reason to do it if they’re directly next to a junction.Or if you’re going from two groups of houses to a shop and you have no roundabout or traffic light, have the two roads meet at the shop driveway, and not at an intersection. So if you’re connecting a neighbourhood to two or more shops (which I recommend you always avoid if feasible), if you don’t have a traffic light for an efficient junction, then don’t create a junction at all and instead just connect from one shop driveway to the other. Shop entrances and house entrances are both driveways.The practical result of this is that assuming you have no roundabouts or traffic lights to spare, when hooking up houses to a shop you should path the road so that all of the houses connect directly to the road with their driveway to avoid creating junctions I’ll correct those values if anyone in the comments has quantified the difference in speed by counting frames for a full speed car (5 uninterrupted blocks of space to speed up), driveway slowdown, and junction slowdown. Taking visible estimations I’d estimate the ratios as: max speed: 1, driveway slowdown: 0.9, junction speed 0.25. Yes driveways do slow down your cars compared to max speed, however they don’t slow your car down anywhere near as much a junction. Re-arranging major roads or motorways at this point in the game is a death sentance unless you have a spare motorway you can use to maintain traffic while you rebuild. Now it’s all about keeping throughput as high as possible and blocking for the purpose of ensuring predictable future house spawns are able to access destinations. Late game: The map is close to full, re-routing is basically limited to already established roads and areas you blocked off.This phase ends when all of the shops have spawned and house spawns start being irratic with seemingly random colours being dotted into gaps. Mid game: You need to start segregating here as traffic jams are now possible, this is where you’re setting up the major paths you’re going to be carrying through into late game. ![]()
