I have only played for a few hours myself but from what I've seen I think handling traffic is a good bunch easier than in Sim City. Since the days pass way faster you dont get rush hours which makes it much easier to plan ahead, but also takes away from the immersion.
I guess they both have their ups and downs.

Depends on from what perspective you approach the traffic control question:
Do you mean how the game simulates traffic and how realistic it is, even in the end-game? From what I've seen, despite some minor bugs here and there, the traffic has been pretty awesome for me and instead of making it a huge hassle to deal with it, the game makes you solve little 'puzzles' and de-stress the vehicle situation without being too simple and boring nor too hard to make it a nuisance.
If you're wondering what tools the players have to handle the traffic: there are a handful of very great mods in the Steam workshop that give you even more features regarding the traffic that will help you to really micromanage it. You can edit the lanes (straight or turns), you can edit the phases and decide how long which lane has red or green or you can modify the lanes on your own for certain crossings, to better manage the specific traffic there and much, much more.
Despite one or two minor bugs (which are fixed with the addons, I think), the traffic has been a great addition to the whole package.
