Main roads and side roads

[wh1sp3r]

Hello,

I really like playing with traffic, building small and large crossroads, roundabouts and highways I almost forget about transportation like busses etc , becuase i set traffic to highest possible value and it's a challenge to make it good

When i build classic road and then i build a side road connected to this main road, it creates a red triangle, so cars wait here when no car in on mainroad. That's fine.
If i builder bigger main road and i build a side road to this road, it creates semaphores. What if i want to not have semaphores here, but only red triangle for side road ? it can help to trafic a lot as side road is usually empty.

That will make me more happy as i can design my road system better for my brutal traffic settings ...

Thank you for responses !

What you want is to be able to select if you want traffic lights or not?
Thats something I agree with. It's so annoying when I get traffic lights on a low traffic road when I don't want it!

Yes, exactly, sometimes, traffic lights are a big problem, so i would like to give right of way to traffic of main road with red triangle on side road ( red triangle - sign of right of way, i don't know how it's called in english )

You mean a "Give Way" sign. Yes, I am with you on this. (I did post something on this, but it's vanished!).

On the first map I created, the main road into the peninsula city, though of a higher class than the roads going off it, was full of traffic lights, meaning all the traffic took a different route, clogging up an expressway. We can, at least, remove the jungle of streetlights along roads, so why not the traffic lights (in other words, delete them that they aren't computed any more)? And why does the AI ignore some of them and go through on red??

Ditto to that request. Give way and stop signs would be great.

Same with highway. Sometimes, cars on the highway gives a right of way to cars from side , looks funny sometimes. if i can build a "give way sign" here, that will look better
