Some of the strategies I find to be useful (trial and error) are: That being said, the top players score in the thousands so there must be some tricks… i’m guessing if you can break 2000 on a regular map then youre the guy who should be giving tutorials Highways work well in many cases but the loss of tiles can kill you in the late game when new things appear in impossibly far places. This maximizes where houses appearĥ-Most games where I am over 1300 have been avoiding using highways and red lights except to get over rivers or to connect things that are across the mapĦ-Seen most success with roundabouts but dont overload them or use them unless you can’t avoid colors mergingħ-cut diagonal instead of corners and you’ll save a tileĨ-use extra roads as placeholders like an O-shape around an intersection until you can get a roundabout or to block a building or house from appearingĩ-stoplights work well when 2 colors must cross paths but the more crowded it gets the more they just cause issuesġ0-in general, the more tiles you have to plan ahead the better. Better to make them go around than to lose!ģ-Grid systems work well but the center of your city is where you have to be careful about future congestion.Ĥ- leave 2 spaces between roadways, one space open from buildings and entrances. I’ve always used ALL houses and have over 1300 on every map…ġ-Try to keep colors seperate and prevent them from sharing roads if possible.Ģ-When you are in the later stages of the game and a color is in trouble, its almost always 2 or more colors all using one intersection- see if you can delete a single connection to reroute safer colors a different way-they will choose the fastest route even if it kills you. Got these tips from various posts in this sub, on YouTube and through a few play throughs. When the warning timer is running out can be useful to connect the houses through a highway for a sudden influx of 4-6 cars from 2-3 houses. If possible, keep an extra highway and a few houses spare. Not all houses need to be connected.Ī bridge can go into the ocean / river and turn around if required - us that to avoid common roads with other colours. Leave single houses in the middle of nowhere be. Make all curves ‘smooth’ and avoid sharp turns in the road.Ĭontrol the spawn by putting 2 roads in any 3X2 space if it is near the existing building. Typically a highway connected to 5 - 7 houses is ok to serve a round building from all the way across the map as long as there is no other road connecting to the building to slow down traffic. There will be only 8 highways - use them wisely (atleast in my games have not got more than 8). 1 road in and out will allow for a faster turnaround of cars since they stop and let each other pass otherwise. Later in the game, if there is a traffic jam at building entrances, remove extra forks / intersections.

Try to make the roads a fork or a Y instead of T or crossroads - makes the cars go faster. Essentially every building is an island with a few houses connected. Will help manage the flow better else the farther house will send cars to the farthest building.

If possible, separate out the buildings and houses even if they are the same colour. Do 3-4 for square ones and 5-7 for round ones. If there is a lot of same coloured house spawned together, you can break them into two or three groups, this will prevent congestion at intersection point and can cater multiple storesĬonnecting too many houses to same building will create traffic jams. This sometimes leads to windy roads and also isn’t always possible but has helped me a lot.ĭon’t feel obligated to connect every house to the roads! You don’t need to. Keep roads belonging to one color to prevent congestion. If you start a new game and the building and home are not in an idea direction to one another, just exit and start another game Use speedways early and move them when buildings start getting in trouble A new build is coming soon that will change that. Traffic lights are currently useless, do not use them.

TIPS FOR MINI MOTORWAYS UPDATE
I will update the post with any new tips from the community.ĮDIT: I am updating my original list to compile all of the tips given in the comments. Share your best tips and maybe together we can put together an unofficial guide. Before starting this post my best was around 1.7K, I just finished a game at 4.7K (Los Angeles). Here is a collection of the best Mini Motorways Best Tips and Tricks.
