It all went to ****, I tried to move all my industrial stuff and landfills to the other side of the river but the bridges all got clogged with millions of garbage trucks.

Build a bigger bridge, or more bridges, or seperate the land fill roads from the industrial and have a bridge leading to each!

I just learned it as I went - didn't see any tutorial, apart from the tips at the start - which is a lot to go through.

I watch this guy's videos lol - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYz...Xc2UJQD5bIo8AQ

Some of my industries - but not others - don't have enough workers. The advice I read was you reduce education in your city?

I think you gotta sort of balance it, have both educated and uneducated workers in your city

I built like 4 massive bridges but they all try to use the same one. I feel like it's time to start a new city with better planning

tbf you can take it as slow as you want, you can have a tiny village with a few houses so long as the income is balanced and it'll just look after itself until you deliberately "scale up"... just don't try to scale up too fast and end up with approx. 70 garbage trucks stuck on a bridge

I always build my Bus and Garbage way out of the main population centres. I also zone little bits of industry dotted about. I don’t put it in one area because the traffic is dire. It helps if the industry has access to a highway too.

I started a new city and it has the landfills down in the bottom corner, 6-lane road running down to it, which then branches off into the actual town. It's so efficient and beautiful
