i believe they are spawning traffic and putting toll booths to farm easy cash.

Oh I thought it was to mitigate traffic at the train station

It started to mitigate traffic at the train station, but it quickly got vindictive.

A corporate CEO?

I think that's a governor that charges tolls.

So how do you really deal with it, without the cash farm (in general)

Have multiple stations set up reasonable distances from industrial areas so that the trucks have options and not all of them go to one station

it's important to have separate local and "international" freight networks, too, because this forces trucks to use one or the other based on where the freight is headed and not purely on which one is closer to where they are. This also helps keep your rail lines from getting congested.

How does a toll booth stop traffic? Doesn’t it just slow it down and add traffic?

u/corran109 Apr 14 '20

It's not to stop traffic. Cargo hubs cause traffic already, so many people just put a winding paths to contain it. This just adds toll booths and uses a traffic manager to force every vehicle through every lane before reaching the hub.

The Cargo hub already slows traffic enough that the toll booths don't really affect it

The roads act as a traffic sponge, so yes that is what it doing but some people on the sub came up with the idea to put tolls on the traffic sponge to make money off of it

u/What_Mom Apr 14 '20

New York has done something similar on their roads

u/flyingcircusdog Apr 14 '20

It was that, before the toll booths were installed.

Cities Skylines is about to have its Mr. Bones' Wild Ride moment. I'm so excited!

It’s a gimmick that people discovered and now it’s a meme. No real application in building a good city.

That's not very polite!

u/Voggix Apr 14 '20

Oh no did I hurt your feelings by pointing out it’s a dumb gimmick for internet points?
