You need to give traffic options of places to go. If they are all in the right lane, that means everywhere they want to go is on the right. Are they using the one lane on a highway or a 4 or 6 lane road?

i've tried giving them places to go by following them across the entire city, and a majority of them is going to 1 corner of the city. I made multiple side roads for exactly that and they ignore it. They do this with ALL road types, regardless of the placement.

What is at that corner? They also take the quickest route (also the shortest) to their destination.

Best results i had by connecting green and blue with a Pedestrian path

Place a metro along and trainstations on the ends (that are connected to your harbors and Airfields)

Make sure that you zone the map decent and set your Blue area to "old town" so that your People must use the Transport hubs

If you wanna try it here a "Park" that make it very easy to make such long Pedestrian walkways

That corner has most of the industrial stuff of the city. It's accessible by 8 different outside roads, but they hardly ever get used. Half of them are even shorter than taking downtown in the city.

Sometimes less is more.
I play a island (without any road connections)
I had 4 Air Container Hubs and one Container harbor pretty far away.
All my transtations send nearly all container Trains to the harbor, the train stations connected to the airports have been nearly unused when the ones connected to the harbor have been overused

That moment i deleted the harbor my Trainstation system worked as intended

if you put crap tons of C/I/O in one single spot, that's all on you on forcing vehicle to go to a single direction. The AI is just doing what you tell them to do.

diversify & spread your zoning, if you dead set in making large patch of workplaces, you want to understand how to control lane usage in your design. Pay attention to lane arrows, that's what the AI follow, STRICTLY.

example : you build 6 lane roads but only 1 lane going to the right side (where majority of destinations located)... of course no body want to use the other lanes. Follow the arrow, it's really not that hard to understand traffic flow & fix it to encourage more lane usage.
