I think it’d be cool to design a virtual city with easy bike/pedestrian access to nearby shops, schools and other amenities while minimizing car dependency (as therefore the pollution, noise, parking issues and noise that come with it).

Do you know any good city builder games for this?

    I don’t have a complete list right now unfortunately, but here are some off the top of my head, all on the steam workshop:

    • Traffic Manager President Edition: set speed limits, restrict vehicle access and manage traffic priority
    • Road Builder: create your own road assets from scratch with highly configurable car & bike lane layouts
    • Transfer Manager: control the flow and active area of service and delivery vehicles
    • Intersection Marking Tool: allows you to paint intersections to get continuous bike paths, shark teeth indicating yielding, etc

    Also, I highly recommend the Plazas & Promenades DLC. It adds native support for pedestrian-only areas that only need service points at their outer border for deliveries and services. I’ve had quite a lot of success just making large parts of the city pedestrian zones and guiding delivery vehicles through a few central arteries with service points. If you combine this with the mods from above you can get a city with a modal split rivaling the Dutch.

      Thanks for sharing! I’ve seen some bike path implementations that require the After Dark DLC, but it looks like Road Builder doesn’t. Nice.
