So some well-placed cargo buildings can be a great way to solve road congestion problems.īut on the other hand, a badly placed cargo building can cause havoc to your traffic planning by attracting a lot of trucks to areas which aren't designed to handle them. A truck traveling to a facility on the other side of your city might take a shortcut by traveling by road to cargo building A, using its transportation method to travel to cargo building B, and driving by road from cargo building B to its destination. Trucks leaving your city might travel to the nearest cargo building instead of traveling all the way out of your city by road. Trucks entering your city can alternatively arrive by train, ship or plane and enter your road network from the cargo buildings instead of the edge of the map. Using cargo buildings (cargo train terminal, cargo harbor or cargo airport available in the Industry DLC) gives your cargo trucks alternative routes to travel through your city, into your city or out of your city. When your city grows, then you will soon notice that all those trucks start to clog your road network, causing all kinds of problems. They are either traveling between two buildings, leaving your city or entering your city from outside the map. Each one of those deliveries is represented by a cargo truck you see driving along your roads. Many Industrial and commercial buildings produce goods, receive goods, or both.
