And no, i won't yar-har it, just sayin.

I always get jealous when I look at other people's cities. Also found this intersection the other day:

He could have done that a lot more briefly. Just make sure you have lots of highways and exits to distribute the traffic. His design doesn't even quite include it, because the map forced him to stretch the city over a larger area, but generally, you will end up with one big blob of a city.

Let's say X are the city, gaps are the highways and the colourized are the exits. Instead of building something like this:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

You should build something like this:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX


This way the traffic comes from different directions (they leave the highway closest to their destination) and has different destinations rather than using the exact same shortest path (that's how the AI works) to get to the other side of the city.

The new DLC "After Dark" is pretty nice, you should check it out!
