Now, you can go ahead and connect your roads leading into and out of the roundabout. Note: if your city uses right-hand traffic, build the roundabout counter clockwise if left-hand traffic, build it clockwise. Use the curved road tool and a one-way road type to build the actual roundabout.Ĭreate curved lines from one point to the next until you form a circle around the cross.Īgain, the road measurement guides will help you create identical curved segments. Ideally you want to use highways for this (so the game doesn’t generate zones and pedestrian crossings) but regular one-way roads will do in early game before you unlock highways.
Next, select a one-way road type and the curved road tool. Use the road measurement guides to check the road lengths. Keep building lines at right angles until you get a cross shape.ĭraw three more lines of the same length from this center point until you have a cross shape. Using dirt roads and the straight road tool, mark the radius of the roundabout (in other words, the length is half of how big you want your roundabout to be). If you’re replacing a junction, then just use the same spot where the roads meet. While the pre-built ones are an easy option, building roundabouts manually gives you more control.įirst, determine the middle point where you want your roundabout to be. If you need to align its connecting roads to existing roads you have, right-click and drag to rotate the roundabout into place.
They can be found under the Intersections tab of the Roads menu, and you simply have to plop them down. There are two pre-built roundabout assets in the base game.Īll you have to do is select one from the Roads menu and place it down. They can significantly improve the flow of the large number of delivery trucks going back and forth between your buildings. Roundabouts are particularly beneficial for specialized industry areas (Industries DLC). This roundabout helps manage traffic for the trucks transferring materials between the different parts of this farm, as well as heading out to the highway to export. So roundabouts can be an important tool in your arsenal as your city becomes more densely populated.
Having a roundabout in that intersection instead of lights can help keep traffic flowing more smoothly, since drivers don’t have to stop at any point. This can easily cause a chain reaction in nearby roads, and at times even result in a gridlocked area. Junctions with traffic lights can cause roads to get backed up when particularly busy.
