So after seeing a few patches release, I decided to give my city another shot.

What a clusterfata. I built up a small city (50k), but was resource heavy. Making good profits, so I bought an Arcology in my region. Suddenly my traffic is totally on the fritz. I have what looks like an infinite number of vehicles leaving the city (of which about 1/3 is due to the Arcology), and maybe the sporadic vehicle coming in. The problem is the vehicles exiting it so severe that it sends my entire road network into gridlock, which makes no sense at all. How can I have an infinite number of vehicles exiting my city, and barely any coming in at all hours of the day. You would think there should be at least a bit of balance between traffic out and traffic in.

And I can't even work around this flaw in logic. I only have one highway interchange for my city. It's not like I have the ability to build others. Damnit this game sucks. Which is really sad because I really want it to be good so badly.

Just linking it since it's kinda big. But this is a screenshot after leaving my city running for maybe 2-3 mins. So much traffic leaving my city, none going in. And don't even get me started about the traffic opting to use the side roads instead of the main avenue...ugh.
