You see you cant just solve traffic by upgrading roads, you need to have multiple access points to areas, etc

Send a screenshot and we can tell you what to do with your exact city

One way roads carry a lot more traffic.

The less stopping cars do the better. The faster they reach their destination the better.

Sometimes there will be a lot of traffic in an area as the cars are moving around looking for a suitable destination.

Residentials need industrial and commercial destinations. And the same for the other two.

Mix up the zoning, so that they can reach a destination quickly. Or, provide a lot of highways and one way roads to carry the traffic. :)

Look in the tips and tricks section for others ideas. Look in the plugins section for quicker roads you might download.

My Greenroad along with those found in the population support pack can get even the most congested city's traffic moving around quickly :)

One of the better ways to reduce traffic is to have bus stops available nearby all major residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. And build bus depots to service the bus stops. You need one bus depot for every 8- 16 bus stops.
