Traffic Routes Info View
Overview
The Traffic Routes info view allows you to examine active transport routes in your city.
With the info view active, you can click any of the following to see associated routes:
Buildings and stations
Shows routes of cims travelling to and from the building
Roads, train tracks, metro tunnels, etc.
Shows all vehicle routes that will drive over the selected segment
Vehicles of any kind
Shows where the vehicle is going to
Pedestrians and cyclists
Works the same way as vehicles (see above)
Real Time mod
If you have Real Time mod enabled, you'll also notice some buildings are highlighted on the Traffic Routes info view:
Red buildings indicate that journey times are taking too long, and in some cases it will cause cims to abandon their journey and return home.
How to fix
Optimize your road network to help traffic reach its destination more quickly
On busy routes, reducing the number of junctions helps a lot!
Adding more lanes usually makes things worse (lane changes cause traffic jams!)
Create fast 'bypass routes' for 'through traffic'
Provide good public transport along popular routes
Bus lanes allow buses to drive past traffic jams
Add some express routes which skip stops but reach destination faster
Use pedestrian and bike paths to create shortcuts to and from transit hubs
