🎮 How to play Traffic Escape

In Traffic Escape, you have one goal: get the target car (usually red) to the exit. You can click and drag other vehicles to move them. However, vehicles can only move in the direction they are facing. Cars oriented horizontally can only move left and right. Cars and trucks oriented vertically can only move up and down. You must strategically shuffle these vehicles around to create an open lane for your red car. The challenge is to do this in the fewest moves possible. Each level gets progressively more crowded and complex, requiring more and more moves to solve.

💡 Tips and Tricks for Traffic Escape

Think about the ‘blockers’. Identify the one or two cars that are directly blocking your car’s path to the exit. Your first priority is to move those cars. To move them, you will likely have to move other cars out of their way. This creates a chain of logic. Do not just move cars randomly. Every move should have a purpose. If you get stuck, try ‘resetting’ a section of the board in your mind. Sometimes moving a car back into a blocking position temporarily can open up a different, better path. It is a logic puzzle, much like planning a factory layout in Craftomation 1.

• Look for ‘wasted space’. An empty 1×1 square is your most valuable asset. Learn to move it where you need it.
• Try to solve the puzzle backwards from the exit. Imagine the red car is at the exit, and see what the ‘final’ board state must look like.
• Be patient. Some levels in Traffic Escape unblocked can take dozens of moves and require significant planning.
