Learn how to manage traffic jams and prevent zone deterioration in SimCity 2000 by building a balanced transportation system and keeping transit funded.
Each form of transportation in SimCity 2000 has a capacity limit. Sims require transportation to move between zones. If you exceed the transportation capacity limit, traffic jams can form, which lowers the overall capacity. If traffic jams occur frequently, the affected zones will begin to deteriorate.
To avoid this, aim for a complete inter-modal transportation system. However, do not overbuild; excessive transportation infrastructure can consume valuable developable land and incur significant maintenance costs.
- Always keep the transit authority fully funded.
- Exercise good design principles when laying out your roads.
- Balance different transportation options to meet Sim needs without exceeding capacity.
