As soon as I saw the image this is exactly what I started doing in my head.

I still get nightmares from thinking that placing a nice roundabout in Cities Skylines will improve my traffic only to come back later to see a huge traffic jam because the cars are blocking each other.

Honestly I’ve never heard about a roundabout traffic jam before seeing the picture of the Norwegian four-way bus lock a couple of days ago, followed by this example right here.
I think Cities Skylines is either badly programmed or propaganda for Big Intersection.

Basegame CS’s traffic system is notably bad - if you wanted anything realistic you needed mods to change it. No clue how CS2’s plays, but I can’t imagine it’d be much better.

Tbf, they also have the arthropod invasion sorted out.

I’m sorry, but this looked super easy to un fuck. The bottom driver just had to pull forward a bit and to the right, enough for the guy on the right to get through. I don’t think they were “stuck” so much as this was a cool photo with a click baity title.
agavaa@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
They were stuck for 10 minutes and needed to be directed from the outside. It’s maybe not that long, but they struggled with figuring it out. Source (in Norwegian, this happened in Oslo): vg.no/…/busser-fast-paa-alexander-kiellands-plass…

Guy that went and directed them said they were stuck for a total of 3 minutes.

Also, fewer cars will help.
stepan@lemmy.cafe 13 hours ago
there are probably cars there facing the bottom bus, no? it’s the enter lane, not an exit lane
jqubed@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
I’m very curious about who screwed up first
Johanno@feddit.org 56 minutes ago
In my opinion the stupid bus that entered the round about when already 3 buses where in there.
I mean get that there was space, but man you could have waited 20 seconds and everything would have been fine.
olafurp@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
It’s a deadlock situation and can arise without any screw ups. Imagine the buses being 5x as long and all reach the intersection at the same time as an example. All have space to enter the roundabout but they’ll reach the same situation as in the picture.
To fix this people uses signals and can be done by having the buses follow “Only 1 or 2 articulated (double) buses are allowed into the roundabout at a time”. A rule like that might be required if you have a lot of articulated buses. The risk of this happening depends on how many ways you can enter a roundabout no a bus like that, how long the buses are, how frequently they run and how big the roundabout is.

Bus on left hand side of screen sealed the deal, but it was a concerted effort of fuckery
marcos@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
Each one of them screwed up independently. It takes a concerted effort to reach this situation.
Griffus@lemmy.zip 14 hours ago
1 of 2. Either the car drivers going on the inside of the busses, hindering them enough space to make the turns, or the bus drivers allowing it to happen.

I don’t know what’s going on in this picture, but whatever it is being accidental is last on my list of possible explanations

What’s the context on this?

Step bus, what are you doing!??
falseWhite@programming.dev 12 hours ago
Context is the photo where no one can exit or enter the roundabout.
NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
It does not look like any bus screwed up to me. It looks scary ya I agree, but I’m sure watching this play out was very mundane and efficient.
Lootboblin@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
Maybe they should get rid off those accordion buses.
Iseja@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
Why though? If you zoom in you can see that they’re literally filled with people and allow easier/quicker stops as they have many doors. If you actually plan their routes they work quite well.
mirshafie@europe.pub 2 hours ago
This can be fixed by the drivers paying extra attention in front of them when entering a roundabout.
When you enter a roundabout you need to be clear from the left, that’s normally all you need to worry about. In this case because the buses are so long, the bus that locks them is in front of them when they enter, and there’s another bus to the right. This should be clearly visible.

Solution: goatse roundabout
Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 12 hours ago
Do not enter the intersection unless the exit is clear.
falseWhite@programming.dev 12 hours ago
That’s a roundabout Sir. Different rules apply, because most often the exit is simply not visible from the entrance. You enter the roundabout when it is safe to enter.
Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 11 hours ago
The same rules apply to a roundabout where I live, if the exit isn’t clear, you don’t enter.
People do it all the time and block the roundabout, but you’re not supposed to.
vodka@feddit.org 12 hours ago
If all four arrived and entered at the exact same time, the exit might have been clear for all four.
Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 12 hours ago
Possibly, but I think they all thought they could fit through.

I like that there is already an idiot on the top-left road who passed the whole trafficjam on the wrong side of the road (because “I am special”) and is now also stuck there because there was a reason for everybody to not move foreward

Kinda looks like a cop to me

Might be. I don’t remember seeing any police when I was in Norway, but the internet-pictures kindof match.
