Wasn't the person who made the trailer city someone who is very active in the YouTube scene? I'd imagine they designed the city to minimize traffic. Also, like you said, it's in a beta state so there may just be fewer cims. I have a hard time imagining that they release a cities skylines game and not have extensive traffic simulation.

Yeah, I believe it was two dollars twenty who made the trailer city. Imo, there could be any number of reasons why there isn’t a lot of traffic.
I'm just hoping in the next videos we will see some more traffic, I can understand we haven't seen that much traffic as of now if the videos were already finished before they saw people were complaining/worrying about this lack of traffic, but I'm sure they can just change one of the background videos that they have while speaking, for one that shows the game with actual traffic
I think the devs probably thought having light traffic made for a better looking video.
