Ahh thank you for the help guys. Just incase anyone was wondering, I fixed the bug where there was no traffic with the road/rail intersections by reinstalling the NAM with left hand drive. (I really should read the installation instructions )

Ok so I figured out something wasn't quite right when my rail is crossing the roads. I seem to have the same problem as this guy - https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=103962&enterthread=y Whenever I build a road with a rail crossing, no traffic can pass (cars, or trains) only pedestrians. Has anyone heard about this problem before? Highly annoying! Seems I'll have to delete my rail until I can fix this

I can't seem to get my residents or industry to use them. I don't know if it's a problem with my placements where the stations are or how they are connected. For example, am I supposed to point the arrow when placing the stations at the road or rail? Also, how often should I be placing stations? Is one passenger station per residental area enough? Even if I put stations at regular sections they're still unused. Does it hinder train use if I build avenues with similar layout to the trains, (ie. they will rather use the avenues then the rail)? Now onto freight! How often should stations be placed around my industry? Should I put them at choke points in the transport network (ie. at point where I know trucks will be driving past) or place them more around the industry itself? Last question, where do I need to put the freight stations for the goods to arrive at their destination? Is this even needed? I hope thats all understandable, for you to answer! I have SC4 rush hour with the NAM installed, if that helps answer any questions.

Hi guys, I'm just starting to get into SC4 and I'd like to know if there's any essential mods I really can't do without. I've been reading about quite a bit and it appears the NAM is quite popular. I downloaded the april release (or re-release) but it crashed my game so I uninstalled it. Should I try to fix this or is this mod not a big deal? One thing I'd like to have mods for is transit. In particular some better choice over roads/streets. Is there anything around for this you could point me in the direction of? Thank you for your help.
