This guide will give you idea of my best solutions for each levels, what I have so far. All levels are without the toll trick, which I've used to get over 62k points, but that trick is so broken, I won't give instructions you to it in this guide. Of course, many of these levels can still be improved, so feel free to try and get better scores, who knows, maybe you will find a breakthrough and steer us, the whole freeways community, closer to the dreaded 55k. I hope this guide gives you general idea what to try in each levels and what works at least.

Thank you fro the Strawberry Jam, who have shared some of his solutions which have gave me inspiration and found out some breakthrough layouts in some levels.

I will go through some drawing tricks especially playing this game on PC. There are special parts for each level to what you need to focus and what are the key elements which defines major part of your score. I will also help you to find the balance between concrete usage and traffic flow since that is one of, or even the most important part of getting a high score. I've furthermore added stats for each of the levels if you are interested. This guide also highlights the layouts I've used, but there might be some small changes if you use some other layout for those levels.

Note that I've played this game already over 600 hours and learned trick or two, so don't blame yourself if can't get immediately same scores.

Also the map 2 is still under investigation phase and most probably my used layouts will change later on. I will update this guide time to time to reflect the new designs which will give better score. Also some other layouts have given me almost same score, but I've chosen the layout where I can see is more capability to improve. I am very interested if you have any new interesting layout you get similar or higher score than in this guide.

Current status of the guide is, that the info of all levels have been added. Later I am going to write more detailed instruction for each level. I am publishing it already, so you can start to learn from the levels.

And most of all, lets all have fun when playing.

Below is my overall view of map 2:

Foremost there are few tricks which you should know when starting to do the drawings, if you want to achieve the highest scores:


In the game, there are 3 levels of roads/bridges possible to do. Ground level, level 1 bridge and level 2 bridge. In the update the concrete usage have been reworked and it is described below.

Concrete usage for those are 20 for ground level, 40 for level 1 bridge and 60 for level 2 bridge per unit. An idea, of unit size, you can easily get by clicking once up and once down to create a very short bridge. That bridge is 2 unit long and after that bridge there are 2 units ground level road. You can see the concrete usages of different roads in picture 1 how it is. There is also possible to do 1 unit long bridge with mouse 2. Using mouse 2 is also crucial at some levels to give capability to draw in tighter area as it gives much more flexibility to the drawing.


There are a couple of tricks for bridges. First, connecting to another road is bad thing as you can't grab that bridge anymore. That's why it is almost always better to first do bridge and then create the road under that bridge to get the bridges where you want.

Secondly, when you go over the water, I recommend drawing the landing first and then connect the bridge straight to that landing. You can get a shorter bridge over the water to save some concrete, and you get some more flexibility in tight spaces.

Then there is important to understand how the bridges actually work. The car is basically at the level, which is the highest level under the car. So the car will immediately land back to ground level, when it is not at all overlapping the level 1 bridge. While it is even partly overlapping level 1 bridge, it will drive at the level 1 bridge. That is critical to understand, because you need enough space for landing after the bridges. Otherwise, the cars will drive at same level part of the time and that affects cars waiting the space while the car which should go under the bridge. Look at the picture above, where I've in purpose glitched those cars to crash each other by not giving enough space for landing. Hope so that explains the bridge behaving even slightest.


I've not understood the connections very well so far. Although there are some general rules which I have noticed, which I highly recommend following.

Try to use connections between 45 degree and 30 degree when possible.
— A smaller angle and the cars will not slow correctly, and a bigger angle will slow down the cars
Check from simulation / car moving animations the problematic connections
If there is decent or high traffic, try to unmerge the leaving traffic before merging new traffic
If there is low traffic, just use as low amount of concrete for the connection as possible

Those rules are something to take care of, but I will go more deep for those in the layouts in each level, when I am able to.

At most of the levels, slip-roads will be needed to connect roads together. The slip-roads are connections as well, so the general rules above will affect also for those. Although extra part to notice there is, based on traffic volume, there is different amount of length you need for slip-road.

Usually there is needed 1,2 or 3 car length slip-roads, so those amount of cars are able to wait to merging for that new level, while not stopping the cars in road where those are unmerging. Again, in low traffic connections, you might need only as low concrete usage from slip-roads as well as possible.

I know it sounds funny, but the drawing order matters. With some specific order, it is much easier to find places for bridges, and you can more easily get smooth turns for major part of traffic volume. Often you want first draw the roads which have most volume, and roads to define places for bridges. The drawing order is even more crucial after the big update and I've made about 100 point different at some levels by changing the drawing order and Not being able to draw some layouts at all with incorrect drawing order.

My drawing orders will be updated later.

Some roads in levels have high volume traffic and some roads have low volume traffic. In the roads with high volume traffic, the connections and slip-roads comes more critical role to improve the traffic flow speed, because those are the places where it easily slows down. In the roads with low volume traffic, the quality of connections etc. are not that important, but the concrete usage is more important. When designing and fixing the layouts, you even need to check if those low traffic volume roads are even necessary, or can you combine those to other roads. If the change in layout saves enough concrete, lower traffic volume might give you a better score.

There are three type of vehicles in this game.
1. General cars (can be any color, but Yellow or light blue)
2. Buses (Yellow cars)
3. Motorcycles (light blue ones)

Why this is significant? There is different behaving with those vehicles and that affects the flow. General cars drives max 110 km/h with no curves and no connections. Those accelerate medium speed if those have slowed down for any reason. Buses are driving only max 80 km/h and are slow to accelerate. That's why those are usually important to handle and might be even clever to give them their own road, so they don't slow down other traffic. Motorcycles drive max 120 km/h and are fast to accelerate if those have slow down. That typically makes handling those easier.

Points have calculated with formula ( <Traffic flow> * <complexity factor> / (<concrete usage> / 1000) ) + toll points

Basically that means that with 5k concrete usage, you get each extra km/h 1/5 of complexity factor amount of points and with concrete usage of 3k each extra km/h gives extra 1/3 of complexity factor amount of points. That can be used when thinking about, if saved concrete or extra used concrete is probably worth it for overall score.

Toll points are bit unknown factory, but best estimation so far is, that it shows how many car have passed toll gates during the simulation.

Many people ask also that what is the complexity factor. It is basically the traffic volume in simulation. More cars in simulation = higher complexity factor. In the simulation there are multiple waves of those cars (which can be visually seen in some of those simulation videos even), but exact numbers are not clear to me and I don't see those matters too much.

That also means, that lower the traffic and therefore complexity factor is, the more important is to save concrete and higher the complexity factor is, the traffic flow will be generally more important.

I think I have covered the most significant and most effective parts of this game in these tips, so let's hop then to the level by level part of this guide. Please let me know if I have forgotten anything, or if you have any extra questions.
