Biggest advice: this isn’t a city builder as much as a traffic simulator.

Traffic simulation has always been a thing, but Skylines takes it to a level you might not expect/realize.

Every single vehicle is doing a task with a effect. Transporting goods(for businesses to sell or as raw material for production)/cims/services.

Every. Single. One

So if you plop a fire station on a one way, it has to send trucks all the way around into to respond to a call up stream.

Their focus on tweaking traffic management and transportation options in pretty much every DLC confirms this. Transportation layout is 100% the most important thing in this game.

One thing I definitely neglected early on was creating options for travel that didn't involve a vehicle. Zoning residential near commercial zones and providing walking/biking paths is actually a significant relief to traffic on the road.
