REMEMBER TO CLICK "SAVE" AFTER CHANGING OPTIONS


Make sure Traffic++ is switch on in Content Manager > Mods, then re-open Content Manager. If you can't find Traffic++ in Content Manager, do this.

The following mods sometimes prevent Traffic++ from starting properly: Zonable Pedestrian Road mod, Traffic Manager mod (disable it temporarily, you can re-enable it after setting T++ options), Runways and Taxiways mod (disable it once you're finished building runways/taxiways to get Traffic++ back).


There are three options which relate to pedestrianised roads (rural lane and suburban street):

• Allow Trucks – allows trucks on all pedestrianised roads.
  
• Allow Residents – residents are allowed to drive and park on the roads
  
• Disable Central Lane – enables bus stops on both sides of the road, but prevents pedestrians from walking in the middle of the road

These options are used to enable recently added features (we do it this way so casual players encounter fewer bugs when new features are added).

• Realistic Speeds – pedestrian and vehicle speeds are more realistic (slower); use with caution as you'll get more traffic jams using this, and cargo will be delivered slower (can cause FPS drop - experienced mayors only!)
  
• New Road Types – enables busways and pedestrianised roads which will appear in the Roads menus; these will be included in your save games meaning you'll need Traffic++ to load them in future (use Ghost Mode if required - see later)
  
• Road Customiser Tool – enables vehicle/speed restrictions and the lane changer
  
• Prevent Despawn – when enabled, this will stop vehicles from despawning in traffic jams, greatly increasing traffic in your city (can cause FPS drop - experienced mayors only!!)
  
• Improved AI – when enabled, buses and emergency vehicles are much more likely to use bus lanes. Note, however, that this has a side effect of causing them to cut across traffic if they want to make a left turn (or right turn in LHD maps) - you can overcome this by lane changing your intersections.

Huge thanks to CBeTHaX for the prevent despawn feature! Also, based on feedback from Traffic Manager users, we're hoping to make the prevent despawn an in-game option in a future release.


In Ghost Mode, Traffic++ is almost completely disabled – it leaves just enough code behind to prevent bugs when loading save games, assets or maps that contain new roads (busways, pedestrian, etc).

There are several scenarios where you might want to use Ghost Mode:

• Loading T++ assets from Workshop – even if you don't use Traffic++, others might; you can leave Traffic++ sitting in Ghost Mode to prevent errors should you load any of their saves, assets or maps from the Workshop.
  
• Broken mod – if the mod breaks for some reason, such as a new update to C:S, you can disable it's functionality and hopefully continue playing the game
  
• Compatibility testing – if you think Traffic++ is conflicting with another mod, Ghost Mode allows you to test what happens when Traffic++ is removed.
