Free and open-source traffic simulation game for building roads, highways, bridges, tunnels and managing traffic through complex networks with detailed customization and editing tools.
Freeways is an open-source traffic simulation game where players build and manage complex road networks. As the city grows, you must continue expanding the transportation infrastructure to handle increasing traffic demands.
The core gameplay revolves around constructing highways, avenues, streets, ramps, intersections and interchanges to create an efficient road network. You have access to various road types like highways, arterial roads, collector roads, local roads and more, each with realistic speed limits. Use one-way roads, adjust lane counts, add tunnels and bridges to customize your transportation system.
The game provides an extensive array of editing and construction tools for shaping your road network. You can drag, curve and elevate/lower roads smoothly using easy mouse controls. The map editor lets you sculpt terrain, add forests, rivers and lakes. You can even import geographic height maps for a more authentic layout.
As traffic increases, monitor congestion levels and troubleshoot problem areas through detailed info views. Manage traffic with public transit options, vehicle bans, timed traffic lights and dynamic speed limits. Unlock milestones like highways, bridges and airports as your city grows.
While the gameplay is complex, the cartoony visuals and soundtrack make Freeways fun and relaxing. Offering ample creative freedom, it's perfect for civil engineering enthusiasts, city builders and transport simulation fans.
