Roundabout - Transport Fever Community (2024)

I'm really getting bored of traffic jams at junctions so I decided to solve this problem with a roundabouts...

Here is the first working version...

Comments and suggestions are welcome!

wtf?

Looks absolutely great and couldn't imagine that this is possible in TPF...

The only thing I'm asking myself is, if this really solves traffic jam, or not even producing more...
If I have a look right now on the traffic in TPF, it looks like they use "every free mm" to cross the street... so let's see

What would really help, if it would be possible to get rid of the pedestrain-crossing, and put them "under the earth", but I think this won't work as TPF is creating by default one, if you connect a street to the "object"

straight tram route through the middle

It's not possible on two or three lanes roundabout because tram lane is rightmost lane...

There is no left-turn when using roundabout, and left-turns couse most traffic problems...

pedestrain-crossing

Pedestrian crossinga on roundabout are part of roundabout itself, so I can move them out, but... it's not necessary because they don't slow down traffic...

Setting up roundabout...

Step 1: found junction for roundabout

Step 2: try roundabout over junction to check how much of streets you have to delete

Step 3: add street chunks to create section for delete

Step 4: delete middle of junction

Step 5: clear temporary added street chunks

Step 6: place roundabout to cleared place (m/n keys for rotation)

Roundabout minimum place is 30 x 30m, street detection for auto-connecting is in 70m radius.

also for the 4 and 6 lanes Streets

Yes... I plan to do make few different roundabouts - 4 exits with 2, 4, or 6 lanes, but also some combinations like 2 exits with 2 lanes with 2 exits with 4 lanes... or 2 x 2 + 2 x 4; 2 x 4 + 2 x 6... etc...

is the city building houses right to the roundabout

Yes, building area is to crosswalks (only roundabout itself is object - streets from crosswalks to near-by streets are regular streets).

There are two issues:

- you won't have any positive affects out of this, as the lines have to cross, you will generate traffic jams
- as I know, you can still not build "tram-only-tracks" (or did that now change in TPF), so also cars will use the direct "go through", in minimum them which are driving anyway on the bus-lines

the only solution for that is an "underground-roundabout", where the normal lines are going underground in a roundabout, and for the bus lines you have a "dedicated-crossing" on ground level. But also here, cars which are anyway on bus lines will also use the ground level...

inner and outer lanes cross

Yes, it is possible to make it in this way.

Zitat von Hendi

In stations you can define a vehicle type to a lane.

True. So, I can make tram only or bus only, or cars only lane(s).

You should do something like that .

I hope, the roundabouts help my monster traffic-Jams

You should do something like that

COOL !!!
