Cities: Skylines - Tips and FAQ

This guide is an ongoing project that lists some answers to questions you may have about Cities: Skylines

Roads

• Should I use a grid layout in my city?
  • No. Grid layouts leave tons of traffic on a few streets.
• How close should my intersection be?
  • If there is low traffic expected, you can place intersections 1 city block apart. If it is high traffic, you need 2 or more city blocks between intersections.

Initial Layout

• What should my first road be?
  • A one-way roundabout in the circle of your city, with one-way streets connecting to the highway.

Highways

Intersections

• Roundabout or Intersection?
