Traffic lights

[godjcjk12 0]

I think it would be great idea to have the option of  street lights on any intersection and highway on and off ramps.

Same here

But not very possible, it would take a lot of thinking. If you can't do it, what means anyone else can?

Anyway, we have a Mod Request board further down.

qurlix (i think thats how you spell the username) is working on placing traffic lights at the end of highway ramps which is scheduled to be released in the next NAM. However that date is still unknown.

I also know of another guy who is (or was) doing it.  I think it was Smoncrie...

You mean something like this? (see attachment)

I was working on it, but gave up when it came to the diagonals. The last time I was working on it was back in 2004, around November according to the timestamp on the files I have. I may give it another go with the diagonals and finish them up. It doesn't require the NAM to work, but it is currently setup for right-hand drive only.

Swamper, is that available to download? Because I would love a copy of that in my cities.

Mark,

It only exists on my system at the moment as it is unfinished. Only the orthagonals are done at this point. I don't like to release unfinished files as I tend to change file names as I go along with a project such as this one.

I've located my development files for the diagonals, so I should be able to finish it up at some point. I have few priority projects for the BSC to do first.

Awww shucks. j.k. Nonethless hopefully we can have that on the STEX in the near future! A quick question are the traffic lights just eye candy like your crosswalks or do the lights actually change?

[Swamper77 90]

The stop lights for the avenue are actually working at this point, but the stop light pointed at traffic coming off the exit ramp doesn't function. For roads and oneway roads, the ends of the ramps have stop signs.

I guess that actually makes it more realistic then eye candy if the light doesnt work. lol. As the road/avenue tends to always be green until a car on the ramp triggers it.

[pilotdaryl 25]

That's how it is here in BC.  The lights are operated by magnets (wires) under the pavement.  A car goes over it (metal detected) and it's only a short while before you get a green.

[Swamper77 90]

At the moment, the stoplights for the main avenue crossing the freeway work, but the traffic lights that are pointed at the incoming traffic from the ramps stay green. I will try to get back to this project after I finish some priority projects for the BSC.

Now this sounds like a great project! Take as much time as you need, Swamper77, because the best things are made with time.

I agree with cityhawk the best things are made with time. Once this is finished I would imagine that swamper77 will be receive millions of thanks and praises. I for one will get down on my knees and start saying "im not worthy"
