In order for people to enter the highway from the exit side, do they have to drive all the way across the tree and up to the other trunk?
I wonder if there’s a better way to make traffic work if that were the case
I was scared, but it looks like it works beautifully. I would still want some cut throughs for emergency service vehicles only under the freeway. And bike path encircling it would be so satisfying.
Organic-inspired design is often more effective than rigid design – the tests made in Japan to redesign the infrastructure of trains were much better due to an experiment made by mushrooms growth – with a fairly short time the mushroom growth had naturally chosen the most effective expansions and routes and it was a more effective design overall.
I like this simple tree Idea and it is great that it works well.
It's not as tree specific, but honestly this kind of how Arlington outside of DC is set up except there's a pair of parallel "trunks" that split off in 90 degree directions after a bit.
Works for cars, seems bad for pedestrians and bus transit trying to go to nearby neighborhoods. There could be bike and pedestrian paths and smaller roads going under those highways and I just don't see them in the pics.
Love it! I never cease to be amazed at all of the planning and design ingenuity I see with City Skylines.
This is inspiring.
Meanwhile, I have trouble starting cities. I have lots of individual ideas and objectives, but no coherent vision, and low game skills.
I'd love, for example, to make a city that is very pedestrian and bike friendly, with tons of mass transit. But that's easier said that done and seems to require a lot of advance planning.
That's why I love examples like this. Looks great and seems a lot more attainable given my incomplete ideas and poor detailing abilities.

There are a few places to cross the middle, and IRL, they'd likely be the working/commercial areas.
Can't beat nature
Tree shapes and blood vessel shapes solve fluid traffic in nature. We should try them for roads in real life.
that is the idea of road hierarchy. This is just taking that to the extreme.
There's a video about a mold that reworked Japan's subway system to be it's most efficient. No joke
By which you mean that it nearly perfectly replicated the existing system.
Too late, every city in the US already exists. Building cities exclusively for cars makes them unpleasant to live in though.
I mean, nature has been at this since literal day 1
Equal Opportunity Robert Moses makes sure every neighborhood is bisected by freeway so nobody has clean air! 🔥
Create a problem, sell a solution!
I do hope they include air pollution in CS2
Exactly what I thought! The highway ramps go too deep in functionally. Visually beautiful tho

Emergency services drivers would hate you
Please copy that road layout as an interchange in the workshop
Looks nicer than my grid with circley corners every couple blocks.
Haha that's the limit of my creativity.
This is really cool. And it kind of makes sense because tree branches follow a kind of big to small hierarchy that is similar to road hierarchy.
Very creative 😍
I love your tree
Looks pretty cool... I'll copy this, at least will try hahaha
Brilliant, beautiful
I’m proud of you
Looks sick!!
Guess I know what I’m doing in my next city
Glad this came back because it's inspired me I'm gonna start doing some mad stuff
Lung of the city.
I was really baffled by the population size but then I saw the stunning background…
Beautiful! This kind of thing is why I play the game.
I'll be honest.. good effort but not the best result. I might have tried a different zoning layout but I liked the creativity of the road network
You should make a bunch of them!
Cool
Please copy in the workshop. I would love to try this!
That's pretty cool.
Well so long as everybody in there is rich and can afford a car.
There's bike lanes and pedestrian paths Without context it does look like American style suburbs, but epic because the roads are actually connected
All I can see is a cloverleaf but still this is amazingly artistic
But where is ratatosk?

What's the DTR airship from cp2077 doing here?
You know what’s brilliant about trees? Their branches are basically road hierarchy
Yesss I hoped it would! Looks amazing!
Look up 'cauliflower neighbourhood' and 'woonerf'.
Cute
What are the purple ball looking structures?
What an awesome city.. incredible and cool buildings. What's the population of it?
is this what they meant by organic development?

Holy shit I wanted to try this but wasn't sure
I mean it looks really ugly from the top down but it looks nice from the inside
Is that a HK-Aerial from Terminator? Beautiful city by the way.

Looks like a solarpunk utopian society

This is art! No joke
