In each neighborhood, build a place for Sims to work (generally industrial zones) along with commercial zones. When Sims leave their house, they either go to work or to shop.
Make sure no buildings are building off the main avenue unless you can deal with the increased traffic. For each neighborhood, build a single road off your avenue and then branch additional roads off this main road. If freight trucks in your neighborhoods become a problem, then you can build your commercial off the avenues.īuild 'neighborhoods' off your main avenue loop. Don't have it go directly to the loop or you'll get a ton of traffic at that one intersection. For the road coming off your highway, make sure it branches and connects to your main loop in at least two spots. Don't build anything attached to this loop except for city services (Fire, Police, Clinic, etc). Instead of corners, use curves so there's no intersections.
A few things that have helped me in my layouts.
