Finally the wait is over. The Simcity Traffic Patch is live, promising to improve path-finding and emergency vehicle issues that plagued the base game. Firstly traffic.

Firstly, cars will take the least congested route to a destination if available. Emergency vehicles will drive in empty lanes to avoid traffic at intersections. And finally, Emergency vehicles will be given priority when leaving garages. Now keep in mind; this is not saying, traffic will be diverted off to the side of the road. So you still have to avoid using single lanes if you want the trucks to move ahead.
