Sims/Traffic interchanging at the wrong place!

[poshbakerloo 186]

I'm not sure if this is a glitch or not... But I'm sure I don't remember sims being able to change from bus to elevated rail via the highway! Is there a way to stop this other than adding a gap?

Hi,

Not really. The problem is, that to get the station fully functional with multiple rail type networks (el-rail+subway), it needs to use a series of complex switches between travel types. The old switches before the NAM updated them around a decade ago, most probably were lacking of these complex switches, which means you would not see this behaviour, however those situation most likely were not fully functional either. The thing is, that the game can not make difference between highway or normal road from this point of view. It will only see, that there is a network which carries buses and the network is touching a station which would exchanges these bus passengers with other networks. Changing the set-up to eliminate the buses jumping from the highway to the station would mean that you eliminate the transfer from the other side as well, where the regular road or street carries the buses. 

The other thing is, that while having two stations like this looks cool, from the game point of view it'S totally unnecessary and they are just making the game engine and the traffic simulator confused. It would be different if it was not two station lots placed next to each other, but only ONE lot with the two buildings as props and modded accordingly.

You really have two options:

• a) move the highway 1 tile away, leaving a gap between the highway and the stations
• b) remove the station which is touching the highway, you can leave the el-rail line as is, without the station.
