Hey, there's good news for SimCity players in the area of traffic congestion

We've seen some silly traffic congestion problems in SimCity even when an alternate path is presented for the drivers. Now, it looks the issue's being rectified as here a video from Maxis showing off their new traffic code.

As you can see, drivers will now take an alternate path should a road become heavily congested. It does seem like it takes a little longer than it should to free up the traffic, but this is being tested internally so there's room for improvement. It's definitely a lot better than it was before.

Next fix I would love to see is the people AI. The traffic and the fix of the AI should help the game immensely.
