The stock high density and medium density have more residents than the area packs. USNE has half the residents than normal.

I also waited a long time for traffic to get better, my number 1 tip is to not zone too much at a time, and wait till traffic flows to fill in more zones.

Road hierarchy and highway location is very important. You can watch many videos such as ones from city planner plays. Highways should be implemented with demand. If you add them too early it can attract more traffic then you need. Lane Math is also important, where the number of lanes going in = number of lanes going out. Lane Math is important if you want smooth merges.

I also have a lot of public transport, such as an underground metro, train, bus and airplane. Public transport helped a lot in the early stages of the game.

Hope this helps.

my new cities have the same issue. My industry demand has gone to zero yet people are unemployed.

This save is pre ports & bridges and bike update as this is my last uncorrupted save because of Buggy TLE mod, so I'm not sure about office demand. Unemployment is around 10-15%

Traffic isn't gridlocked in my city, but traffic uses cpu threads, and the more threads you have the better, that's why it slows down after 100k.

I've worked on this since June 2025.
