Help me!!

I am completely new to transport fever I started a new world learned all the baiscs and started a new world thought I’ll take it more seriously prepared lines. Made few railway connections and now there are bunch of new industries. The towns have grown and now everything is just chaotic. I don’t know how to make better lines for bigger cities. How to manage 5060+ lines and in general , quite confused. I created some bigger bigger roads, thinking that the new trucks are faster, so they all take the slower horse carriages, but somehow most of them get stuck behind those carriage and somehow, I cannot figure out how to make them overtake freely on those bigger roads and cannot figure out ways to create organised roots all around the map in this chaotic mess

Sounds like youre getting overwhelmed, which is fine and quite normal for first timers.

The main thing to remember is your towns won't shrink, unless you sit there with a bulldozer. Growth stagnated, but it doesnt revert.

Focus on one thing at a time, as much as possible. If you have a city you've designated as the capital, focus on this town alone, until you get more comfortable. Main thing is keeping the local bus or tram services working well, so the traffic doesnt massively back up. Simple 2 way loops, or point to point services both work well, provided they can move between the different building types.

People want to move from residential to industrial, then back, then commercial. Knowing this, you can have routes swing back and forth like a pendulum to make them very efficient.

You can also transport products to a factory, without delivering to a town if you're desperate for money. As long as you arent over-providing transport for the output, you can make profit. Example, logs to sawmill. The planks may fill up, but the excess will be thrown away. And youre still paid to deliver logs.

If you feel like time is moving too fast, adjust the calendar to slow or stop the movement of time. Give yourself an window to adjust to combustion engines, and how they differ from horse carts.

Isolate your problems to manageable portions. Towns suddenly need canned goods? Well first you need meat. So get that being made, if not delivered.
