How am I meant to compete with THIS in GridRoad!?

GridRoad is a super addictive traffic management simulator where you chase high scores similar to Mini Motorways and All Quiet Roads, this is part 4!

I think the lesson here is that you have underestimated the power of parallel lanes. They won't fix everything, but if you have multiple colors heading in the same direction, you can separate them into different lanes by directing each to a different exit and significantly increase both capacity and bandwidth. Lane changes are also less likely to create unrecoverable jams than intersections. You don't get any extra points for being under budget (though perhaps a mode where you do could be in the future), so you might as well use all the road you get!

Somehow drivers in this game cannot comprehend giving way for cars already on roundabout, but thousand signs are totally fine for them.

Quick tip, you can click on cars in the editor to check which pathing they will take

[DemonKing]

It feels like the ultimate lesson of this game is, "If you're using traffic lights, your road isn't good enough." Which, you know is kind of a fun idea. Wish the dev included kind of a 'cheater' score which is basically just turning the car on no clip and drawing out the roads in the straightest lines possible. You'd never actually achieve it, but it would tell you the how close to the highest possible score you could get you are.

5 minutes in and he finally realised that a) the orange and green cars coming from the bottom don’t need to interfere with the other traffic and b) there’s a huge space at the top of the screen to make a proper junction.
Barely two minutes later, he’s putting a wrong way round-about in…

Loving the updates to this game. FYI you can now change the arrows on the entrance roads. You can also click on one of the car colours in the entrances to see which route they will take.

RCE making half of some of the maps LHD and the other half RHD is a logistical nightmare. And then he wonders why there are so many crashes 🤣

[DraconasLyrr]

Can confirm about building a roundabout in America failing. We've had one in my town for quite a few years now and people still can't figure out how easy they are to use. Buddy of mine has almost been in at least 3 head on collisions due to some dummy driving in the wrong direction despite the numerous signs and arrows.

[darioschottlender]

Traffic lights lower the score because it's tied to the amount of cars that get to their destinations; so if you don't stop them you get a better score

[Revikra]

12:00 that is some elegant engineering.

[OmnieStar]

"is that rugby" he says when there are Red, Green, Blue and Yellow cars. LOL

[nikolaymatveychuk]

12:20 - a dance of cars. I can't help applauding. It's so beautiful that I could watch it for hours!

[WilliumBobCole]

For the longest time, you've been referring to the pips of the the traffic light timings wheel as being one second, when it clearly states in the tutorial that each pip is worth TWO seconds. I am disappointed to see you still making this mistake in 2024. Please address this grave inaccuracy forthwith.

[schneiderf]

Any reason, why u did not connect green and orange bottom cars directly with the corresponding rodes - without mixing them with the main stream?

[Kamalean]

Basically, this game Is just a more detailed freeways, and I love It!

[Eibfknvrjb]

What would happen if you just filled as many tiles as possible with road, would it just be garbage or would it actually work? Would be fun to see you test this👍

[TonyTheShooter]

15:34 If you have enough imagination, this looks quite sus

[MikelNaUsaCom]

could you do a NJ loop were there are zero left turns... so if you need to make a left, you have to do 3 right turns? seems like a good challenge.

[Ronald.Golleher]

On the last level, one of the things I know I missed, and seems you did as well, is that there's cars trying to get back to the same direction they came from. You did it in the previous level, and the Discord level did as well, by putting in another loop right as cars enter to be able to bypass the entire road network and return to the same entrance.

[SakuraNoSakana]

In the last level, his original design with only 1 lane (and the later one with 2 as well) was/were actually asymmetrical. The left "eye" of the circuitry allowed straight-aheads and turns, and the right only allowed turns onto the connecting road in the middle. This effectively makes the right "eye" of the dumbbell circuitry not quite complete and reliant on the left, clogging traffic up. Great video nonetheless, appreciate the work very much.
