I made some modifications to this intersection to improve traffic flow. I like the spaghetti going on here.
I also appreciate the simplicity of a clean diamond interchange. This one connects to a new industrial area.
Here's an overview of the new industry. Unemployment was at 50% so I wanted to create a ton of jobs. Was a bit surprised to find that the signature industry buildings only employ a handful of people each, I believe the car factory for example has around 30 people working there. But I also made my own factories by splicing together a bunch of vanilla industry buildings, so the total job count of the area is around 1300. It made a dent in the unemployment figures, now it's down to 47%...
I started building up a hillside near the city centre, using mainly the old town buildings. It's quickly becoming my favourite district of the city, got some nice street views. Parking is tricky to solve, but I'm trying to be creative with the parking lot roads, as well as using the one-way lanes with parking on the sides.
Due to increased traffic, I upgraded one of the collectors to an arterial road. The new arterial runs down the middle of the picture below. I straightened out the road and removed all local road access from it. Now it only connects to collectors and other arterials via the three roundabouts. Once it reaches the neighbourhood in the far distance it goes back to a collector again. The new layout turned out really nice!
I also upgraded this neighbourhood with some UK highrises. Very happy with these too. Parking was tricky to solve but I think the demand has been satisfied now.
