Correcting traffic lights etc on wrong side of road

[bhafc25 0]

Hey,

I've had SC4 (hush hour) for years, and one thing has always bugged me. I have a UK copy of the game which means people drive on the correct (I mean left ) side of the road. However, all the street signs, highway overheads, traffic lights etc are positioned on the right side of the road. Is there a mod to fix this?

One other thing, I just downloaded a pack of UK style overhead gantries for my highways. They look fantastic, but are somewhat spoilt because the in-game signs are over parts of the highway too (on the wrong side of the road as well, might I add). Is there a way, or a mod, to remove the in-game signs from highways alone?

Cheers guys

Well, for your weird (I mean left ) side of the road, there IS a mod to remove maxis highway signs from highways that are newly placed. Here it is: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=19319

Cheers!

Its quite interesting to read about how most countries originally drove on the left, then swapped for different reasons (yes, quite sad now I think about it).

Theoretically though, its safer for the majority of humans to drive on the left. Most people have a more dominant right eye. You want the more dominant eye to be closer to oncoming traffic so you can see further down the road when attempting to overtake.

Of course, I would assume the benefits of a few lives saved annually would be too small for a large country to radically modify all its existing infrastructure for. Interesting concept though.

I might add, until 1979 Okinawa, Japan did drive on the Right side of the road, for nearly two years when the change over began, it wasn't unusual to find stoplights still working on the right side--- however it went without its accidents.
