Left Hand Traffic
Left Hand Traffic
It can be used to start a game with left-hand traffic by reversing all driving lanes on new streets. Warning: It is not advised to add it to existing save games as the existing streets and stations will still use the right-hand traffic until they are updated and this will lead to traffic chaos, in the best case, or a crash.
It also mirrors the bus and tram models, so the doors open at the left-hand side and passengers don’t have to get out in the middle of the road (only a visual thing, as passengers jump directly from bus to sidewalk).
The newly added dependency on the Improved Street Constructions mod is not really a must, but it changes the street constructions automatically to left-hand traffic when used together with this mod. Have added this as a separate mod because it also adds more street options that are useful for the default right-hand traffic.
Known issues
Passengers at the roadside bus stop wait with their backs to the road. This is hard coded and can not be modded as far as I can determine. The Devs said they would look into this issue.
When placing a roadside bus stop, the directional arrow on the road points in the wrong direction. This also is hard coded and thus not modable to my knowledge. The stop itself, however, functions as it should.
The mirroring of vehicle is done in a script, so in principle logo’s and lettering will be mirrored too. Have reskinned the vanilla buses and trams so lettering on them now show correctly.
Not all configurations of a modular station work that well because paths created assume right-handed traffic. For now, stick with combined entrance/exit roads in the middle or corners.
To do:
Improve modular station pathing.
Hope the Devs fix the visual issues of the roadside bus/tram stops.
WARNING: Not save game compatible.
