    I've seen pictures on Simtropolis that show cloured arrows that seem to show the paths that traffic is taking to and from transit lots (purple, blue etc).

    Here's an example from the STEX (hoping you can see this...):

    arrows













    How do i make them appear? I have NAM and Rush Hour installed.

    Thanks!

    You know the query tool right? There's also a route query tool found just below the original query tool. If you select it, click on a building and you will see the different routes (represented by arrows) taken by Sims going in/out of that building. The different colored arrows represent the modes of transportation the Sims use (e.g. green means car, blue means monorail, pink means pedestrian, etc.). If you click on a transportation network (e.g. avenue), once again you will see arrows going through that network, which show the routes that the Sims take to go to work (or routes going home if on evening commute).

    Query tool hot key is / and the route query tool hot key is ALT-/. You can click on roads too and see the traffic routes on them. I also click on seaports to see all the freight routes that use them.
