Yeah, global market trucks. I've just dived into the game again to try to scope the problem out better. Tamarin Island: As the name suggests, it's an island. It's basically a rough-shaped square where your city includes two of the shores. One shore is out-of-bounds, and the final shore includes a bridge to the mainland. The bridge comes into the island and hits a highway T-junction (outside your city borders). The highway then sends this into your city at either end of that edge (your city has two entry points). The problem seems to be that no-one wants to come off the bridge and take the right-hand branch into the city. Traffic has backed up as far as I can see, and when I look in the trade option I can see that some of this traffic are my trucks. They're not pinned in by other traffic, they're simply unwilling to make that turn!

First, a little backstory... Tamarin Island is my trade cash cow. I've built up a trade empire where, even though the city is at -§70k p/h, the exporting of computers is still raking in §4m per day. At it's peak I had §33m. I decided to do some rearranging as the heavy pollution was blowing over my city and making people sick; basically moving my consumer electronics from one side of the island to the other. I've also worked to compress the units so the land value isn't too negatively affected. The problem... Even though some shipping comes in by sea, it's the delivery trucks that do much of the heavy lifting. It seems they're the ones that import all my alloy and processors. The problem is, they're stuck outside the city borders at the edge of the island's bridge. Traffic travels through them and into the city, there are no traffic problems anywhere, they just sit there on the bridge instead of coming to the city. I can click them, and buses, but they won't budge! I've tried jumping back and forth between cities, restarting the game, replacing the trade port and adding a trade port in a different location, but nothing shifts these damn trucks off this bridge. With no processors, this city is hemorrhaging money now and I've got about §19m of cushion to try and fix this. Has anyone else had this happen? Does anyone know how to fix it? Is it a known bug?
