![]() ![]() I love building a city that thrives on tourism. More fun, probably, but not space-efficient.The dream! Hundreds of tourists pouring into the city from the airport or harbour, about to catch the train into the centre, ready to spend their money. Before I found this out, I was building vast and complex bridge and underpass networks to achieve the same thing. Ideally, you’d do this with the game paused so that everyone else doesn’t move out as has happened here… ![]() Next, reconnect the roads, using a different type of road – like the plain version or the one with bike lanes. L et’s delete the roads either side and draw a tiny bit of tree-lined road where we want the crossing. Our choices are a footbridge, an underpass… or a new crossing. Obviously, this fixes nothing unless they can cross the road. So let’s add footpaths from the school to the Elizabeth household. If we could shorten the route, we’d get lots more residents out of their cars, freeing up the roads. But let’s say that walk was just slightly further than they were willing to walk, and were instead driving every day. Now obviously, in this case, that’s no problem. ![]() Five children live here, and they probably go to the local elementary school.Īt the moment, the kids need to walk to the top of the street, across, and down again. Bit by bit, you can reduce traffic all over the city (I wrote more about that here ). Suddenly, lots of people who used to drive now find their journey is quicker on public transport. We can massively shorten the distance between people’s houses and transit stops or schools. The second, bigger reason, is to make shortcuts across an estate. That’ll help ease needless congestion caused by people on foot. The first is to give pedestrians a street crossing away from your busiest junctions. There’s two ways to use crossings strategically. ![]() Read on! Use crosswalks to reduce road traffic But there’s also a neater and more precise way to add them. Now while we can’t remove them, there is a way we can add them without having to build a junction!Īll you need to do is upgrade the road type in one place. It seems that road and intersection textures don’t always align 100%, and the crossings hide the seam. In fairness though, I think there’s a technical limitation. It could sit amongst the existing traffic light/stop sign system. I’d love to see more control added in the future. There are mods that let you remove them, but only the visuals. Which is good, because there’s no way of turning them off. Most of the time crosswalks just do what they do. They get added automatically at junctions and intersections. In Cities: Skylines, as in life, crosswalks (or pedestrian crossings where I’m from!) let pedestrians, cyclists and dogs get from one side of the street to the other safely. ![]()
