Yuuzantar, you're idea is well thought out and for that I thank you. It's wonderful to see community members being constructively critical and trying to help the game be better.
The logic you present is solid, but the unfortunate matter is that what you are suggesting is so extraordinarily difficult to program. What seems like simple traffic logic to you, is very hard to put into mathematical formulas and call functions that don't use up all your computers memory. That's one big reason why vehicles have to choose their routes early on. Can you imagine the strain on your system if they were constantly calculating every other vehicle sharing a road with them, plus all the vehicles past the next intersection?
I'm not trying to shoot you down, you really have given great ideas that I've taken note of. But I ask that you trust that CO is doing the best they can to simulate traffic, which is an extremely difficult thing to do. We want to improve, you want improvements, but at the end of the day we need to accept that the traffic AI will never be perfect.
Hope that makes sense and doesn't come off too blunt! =)
