A few things I've wanted that would make traffic so much better would be no u-turns at lights, dedicated left turn signals/lanes, one way roads, and roundabouts to improve traffic.

HI this discussion is for those who are having problems getting SC4 to work properly on new PC's. This really helped me to get SC4 to work perfectly on my system so I hope it can help some one else too! First off a big problem is getting the game to render in hardware mode. This greately increases the speed of the game on more powerful systems(I reccomend duing this anyway as it increases stability). You need to add your card to the list of "fast cards" in the video cards.sgr To start go to your sc4 installation directory and locate the video cards.sgr Open it in notepad and locate your card vendor (example i have a radeon HD 7850 so my card would be under ati) **NOTE** All AMD cards regardless of manufactuer EX Gigabyte,msi...ect... go here Nvidia cards go under Nvidia again regardeless of manufacturer.** Open your video card control center (for me it is CCC) and find the device id. Mine is 6819 ** For AMD users this is under info/hardware in CCC** In the file at the end of the list of cards from your vendor add your card type in card 0x then your device id and then your card name for example mine looks like this card 0x5655 "Mach 64" card 0x5656 "Mach 64" card 0x6819 "Radeon HD 7800 Series" <======== this is my card=== end vendor "3D Labs" 0x104c 0x10ba 0x3d3d 0x1048 card 0x0001 "GLiNT 300SX" card 0x0002 "GLiNT 500TX" This enables hardware rendering for your card and should fix most errors associated with that problem. 2 more issues are setting custom resolutions as well as more stability. An amazing program I found that does these 2 things beautifully is sc4 launcher as this program allows you to set custom resolutions as well as greatly improve stability on multi core systems. It allows you to edit the graphics rules.sgr file, set the # of cores to use, and open it in a window or custom resolution.(Its great this program REALLY HELPED and fixed most all of the CTD that I was experiencing) * NOTE sometimes the region screen will flash/flicker but entering into a city fixes it. I saw another post somewhere a few months back that also taught how to edit the config file but now I cant find it anywhere so if anyone finds it I will give credit where credit is due. My PC's Specs (I'm not bragging I'm just showing that this works perfectly on a higher powered system) AMD FX 4170 HD 7850OC Gigabyte 990FX-ud3 I'm kind of new to the whole posting thing so feedback is appreciated.
