The first is to build a tunnel further back up Thompson Street and connecting directing to the eastbound onramp on the Great Solarian Coastal Highway allowing to-motorway traffic bypassing the Thompson/Forrest Street intersection. While there is a north-south motorway nearby the route is indirect and is heavily utilised by traffic moving between the parallel east-west motorways that run through San Solaria (one runs along the coast and the other runs inland).Ĭonsequently options come a bit limited but three do present themselves at ever escalating costs. Thompson Street serves as a main arterial linking the Airport to the City Centre. Government service traffic (so garbage trucks etc) are using Thompson Street as an access point to the City Centre given refuse facilities are located an industrial complex also near the airport. Meanwhile busses do not access the motorway but rather are accessing Forrest Street which is a primary east-west transit corridor across the City (and recently included a new metro subway line).įreight traffic also primarily is accessing the motorway from Thompson Street delivering goods to the Uptown leisure district (night clubs etc) and a major retail outlet near the airport. You can see that cars and taxis are trying to access the motorway from Thompson Street which coincidentally is one of the main roads to the airport. Public Transport includes taxis given taxis can use bus lanes as well unless you use Traffic Manager President Edition to ban taxis from the lanes. Time to bring up the new Traffic Routes system that came with the Mass Transit DLC.
So while I know the motorway is causing issues (surprise-surprise) I need to look to see where the traffic is going and where it coming from. While there are bus lanes to move the busses the area gets jammed up due to a concentration of traffic going to and from the Great Solarian Coastal Motorway at the top of the picture. Nice condition red at two major intersections meaning we have a jam. This is the intersection causing a bucket load of grief at Uptown: I know of three two of which are in industrial areas and one at Uptown which I am going to share today. This means rather than a City-wide failure in your traffic (Auckland) there are more likely to be localised pinch-points causing a mess in nearby areas.
So you have built this wonderful large city but you wonder why your traffic is a bit shit in places.ħ2% traffic flow is not bad but not flash either given it sits in the ‘condition yellow’ segment.
