Cities Skylines 2 presents a formidable challenge in managing roads and traffic, despite significant improvements like new highway ramps, roundabouts, and lane tools. The game, developed by Colossal Order and Paradox, introduces notable enhancements, but achieving optimal traffic flow for cars, buses, and trucks remains a significant hurdle. Recent reports highlight a new complication in Cities Skylines 2 urban planning, as pedestrians, displaying a disregard for traffic laws, disrupt the flow by casually walking onto roads, causing gridlocks that paralyze entire blocks.
Our comprehensive Cities Skylines 2 roads guide is a valuable resource for maintaining smooth traffic, supplemented by excellent mods that further enhance the traffic system. While the game introduces substantial advancements in lane, highway, and general road construction options compared to its predecessor, a persistent issue with pedestrians in Cities Skylines 2 leads to substantial traffic challenges.
Ideally, pedestrians in Cities Skylines 2 should use designated pathways such as walking bridges and tunnels to cross roads. However, numerous reports suggest that pedestrians ignore these well-constructed infrastructure elements and instead choose to walk into the road at their discretion. This tendency to jaywalk creates significant problems for cities, causing traffic disruptions, hindering daily commutes to work or school, affecting the economy, diminishing overall population happiness, and ultimately jeopardizing the city’s stability.
An image shared by Cities Skylines 2 player ‘ashrafiyotte’ illustrates the frustration, with pedestrians obstructing traffic despite the presence of tunnels on either side of the road. Another image shared by ‘Droviin’ showcases pedestrians queuing above ground, creating a massive backlog that spills into the road, despite convenient subway access to a nearby train station.
Players express their frustration, with one, ‘Backslasherton,’ lamenting the futile effort of creating pedestrian bridges and removing crosswalks, only to witness pedestrians persistently jaywalking. Despite the release of the latest Cities Skylines 2 patch addressing some peculiar traffic behaviors, such as illegal U-turns, Colossal Order confirms the cessation of weekly patches. However, the developer assures players that this pause will allow for more substantial fixes, raising hopes for a resolution to the persistent pedestrian issues in the near future.
