This is one of the most complex levels
As soon as I saw the image this is exactly what I started doing in my head.
I finished this in 8 moves? Not that hard
Factorio players had this solved forever ago
Tbf, they also have the arthropod invasion sorted out.
And now pentapods too
I did, then spaceage broke all my old intersection templates
Yeah, I’m still a bit irked about that. But the new system is good at least.
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.
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): https://www.vg.no/nyheter/i/3pkoP9/busser-fast-paa-alexander-kiellands-plass-i-oslo
Guy that went and directed them said they were stuck for a total of 3 minutes.
It took him 3 minutes to direct them start to finish, but they were stuck for total of 10 minutes. He didn’t start directing them the second they were stuck.
Also, fewer cars will help.
No, it’s clearly the fault of the buses. So defunding public transport it is!
- every politician probably
It is, but none of the four bus drivers have all of the information. You will also need two or three cops or at least guys in fluorescent vests to physically block traffic from entering the circle and or bitch-slap selfish asshats as necessary until the Gordian knot of buses is untied, otherwise said selfish asshats will try to barge into the intersection the second the first bus moves and start everything all over again.
I’m very curious about who screwed up first
I think it was a combined, synchronized effort
Apes together stuck.
Bus on left hand side of screen sealed the deal, but it was a concerted effort of fuckery
Each one of them screwed up independently. It takes a concerted effort to reach this situation.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
What’s the context on this?
Context is the photo where no one can exit or enter the roundabout.
Step bus, what are you doing!??
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.
When your factorio base logistics collapse and you have to manually unfuck the train system
This is what my trains in satisfactory do :,)
Do not enter the intersection unless the exit is clear.
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. And in cases when the exit is visible, because the cars are constantly entering and moving around, you’ll never really have a clear exit even with normal traffic.
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.
No they don’t, because that’s not how roundabouts work. I won’t believe you until you show me some proof of said rules.
In the meantime, you can go read about how roundabouts work and why it wouldn’t work if people waited for the exit to become clear.
You do understand that a roundabout is an intersection, right?
And I keep telling you that different rules apply to roundabouts. But you clearly don’t understand that.
Just show me the rules where it says you must wait for the exit to be clear at a ROUNDABOUT. Please, I’ll wait.
If all four arrived and entered at the exact same time, the exit might have been clear for all four.
Possibly, but I think they all thought they could fit through.
It’s also the second time it’s happened in this roundabout in a few months lol
Maybe they could simply délay one of them by a minute to prevent them arriving at the same time, just change the time planning
Jacques Tati did it better
That is what, six years old?
