What sort of neighborhood structures are you guys using? Going from the highway to each neighborhood, there are various interchanges with the highways. How do you efficiently go from 3-lane highway to 3-lane avenue? There's no 3-lane one-way road. The off ramps are 1 lane.
What sort of road structures are you using for the local neighborhoods off of the highway interchanges?

hnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggg stoooppp distracting me from archeage!Here's where I'm at so far. Having some good luck managing traffic with the roundabouts and hub/spoke design, but my city isn't that big yet. Letting it sprawl rather than trying to make it super dense.

Yeah you need to keep the intake up stream from the outflow pipe so you arent drinking shit water, but the pipes carry everything.
My "oh dammit" moment of learning was when I realized I didnt need power lines everywhere if things were contiguous, just to connect pockets of places with one another.

How's performance for everyone? Part of the reason I didn't play much last night was the game kind chugging at full screen at 2560x1440 w/ a GTX 670 and an i7 920. Dropped to 1080p windows and it was a bit more playable. Probably tinker with settings a bit more to get it smoother, move it to the SSD maybe, update some video drivers or something.

Best way to go about this is to build landfills as you need until you can build incinerators, then empty landfills 1 at a time (click and look for the button) to clear up the space.

Yeah, traffic is driving me nuts aswell. My highway connects into a six lane oneway street leading into the industry district. Absolutely everyone is sitting on the left lane, nobody ever uses the rest of street. It's so backed up, there's industry closing down already because they're not getting their resources.

High density = more traffic, so until you have lots of public transport or infrastructure to handle it, high density is dangerous.
Regarding traffic... it's usually caused by the destinations or follow-ups to the clogged up road. If they're all in one lane that means the roads they're trying to get to need to be revamped probably.

Got up to 2k people then got to the point were my income wasn't enough to do much more, next try should be better.
Optimal grid patterns?
1) Size: I'm wondering if I should have 9x9 grids so I can fit a park into one of them, what is the largest size needed for buildings? Alternativly I could do 17x17 and fit parks in the middle of my residential.
2) Ratio: I had 16:3:5 Residential:Commercial:Industrial and demand was roughly equal.
