I have done my best to simplify things-not that understanding and managing traffic flow problems is a simple matter when you dive into the details. This is much more challenging (and frustrating). You, on the other hand, are trying to plan/manage your city over time. Nothing wrong with this it is just a different playstyle/focus. This mod is tailored for those who want to focus on designing cities rather than planning/managing their growth. That is, you do not use the mod 'Unlimited Money' (but other mods are fine). I assume you want to play the game 'legitimately'. Without these experiences, it will be difficult to understand why the rest of this guide matters. The above points are a common 'frame of reference' regarding what the game does and can do (via mods). ran into traffic jams that make you wonder if the game is broken (and led you to this guide).built multiple cities with varying degrees of success (or not) AND.downloaded and experimented with a few mods.have played the vanilla version of this game without mods for a few hours.In order to get the most 'bang for your buck' from this guide, I assume you: I assume you are reading this because you want to understand (and solve) the mystery of traffic jams and traffic flow headaches.
