Using EFFICIENT ENGINEERING to beat high scores in Mini Motorways!

This time we're not only splitting roads by color, but also splitting those colors to limit traffic and gain high scores in Mini Motorways! From the makers of Mini Metro comes Mini Motorways! A highway engineering puzzle game and in this video I, a highway designer of 10 years, see if my real life engineering skills help me become better at the Mini Motorways puzzle game by segregating different colors to the extreme to fix bad traffic!

I love how this game subtly teaches the idea that you cannot build your way out of traffic using only one mode of transportation. I wonder if they could combine this game and mini metro.

-Confusing and congested roundabouts
-Endless construction
-Ripping up roads before anything is put down to replace them
-Massive highways installed immediately over residences
-Making people's commutes longer and less direct
You can tell he's a real civil engineer. 🙂

So I found out through steam that the devs have done a patch (24th August) to make traffic lights more effective. I don't know when this was recorded but maybe traffic lights could be good?

[AlwaysLoisLane]

Diagonal roads, random motorways and cul-de-sacs.
This game might be the best thing surely made by an architect.

[edwardbuckley]

This was the level that taught me that there are more houses than you actually need. It's better to not connect some to limit the supply to supermarkets/imaxes to reduce congestion.

[julianmaieraldi]

Traffic light are only useful in the late game. They make a very crowded crossroad a little bit faster because it makes first unblocks one side and then block it again and unblocks the oder side. So there is always a bit of a flow.
In the early game it just makes everything slower because it blocks cars even if there are no other cars to pass by.

[RandomFBIguy]

As someone who stayed in Manila and is Filipino, this is actually a really realistic representation. The unplanned chaotic mess in the city planning, the pasta like spread of motorways/skyways, and oh how can I forget the traffic.

[krkrbbr]

Use traffic lights when a house other than the color of the road spawns and connot be disconnected. This will prevent cars from slowing down because of an unusable house, and the light always stays green so no cons ;D

[Rocketmann]

POV: You're trying to design an alternative to Manila's bad (nonexistent) urban planning.

[reapyreaper]

There’s a point in the game where it can go on infinitely except, at a certain point, the game just breaks, but finding the perfect point where you don’t have to do anything is really hard. Usually around 9 motor was. Also, if you make even the slightest change, it can completely devastate the run at that level

[deweyandhisdecimals]

Love this seris. Try segregation by neighborhood? Different colours on same road, but minimize total distance travel

[quintongill]

Imagine if this game had public transit lmao, definitely make everything able to be larger without breaking down

[jeffredfern]

"We want to keep all the colors separate"

*British foreign policy*

Tip for Tagalog: The letter 'i' is often pronounced as 'eee'
18:58 Bonus points for accuracy!

I haven't seen anyone use it, but traffic lights are great for T-Intersections. Only ones where cars never turn left onto the main road. This is because cars can still turn right when their light is red. As long as no car needs to turn left, the light will never change and all cars, from every direction, will move full speed through it.

[charlesweltonferreirabarbo]

3:45 Yes Matt, you are the only one who noticed the strongest shape up to that point LOL

[dumb_baby]

They really should just call this game "segregation simulator"... I guess what wouldn't get the sales they want tho

[AceClown]

When you get a double colour shop spawn make a bypass road, the cars drive slowly through the parking lot if they're just passing through

[Shubham_Rao_]

I love how he goes 'Mini Motorwees'. It's so funny! Also, 'old moldy ham at the back of the fridge' is such an epic phrase...Love it!

3:10 - 'You want to keep all the colors separate, practice EXTREME segregation"
This needs to be said in an American accent.
