Conflicts: wrong length
Anyone know what does this conflicts mean and how to solve this?

One of your track sections is too long. See how it says "i = 14,581 m" in the middle of your last section? As you add a new section, the old section may change length as well. I think it can't be longer than 10 km.

Small sections are better as it allows you more chances to edit the track later. This is what I found, so I am building small sections.

If you intend to build branches off those sections, they need certain length, so don't make it too short. Find a balance.

When I encounter the situation, I was trying to connect stations between different cities across some more significant distances, and it was resolved by using shorter segments, so I don't think it's due to being too short.

Ah, I was replying to the second post, I didn't realize you already had a reply. I am a bit all over the place right now :)

I am experiencing lastly a lot of wrong lengths when I try to apply junctions. Does someone have the same?

The parent track of a branch has to be 30m or longer.

I'm having this same issue nme94 with branching,

Weird and Wry, I appreciate the response, but my experimentation shows that the actual limit is 100m for a track segment to branch successfully. The math seems to be that the "branch length" is 1/10th of the parent length, and the "branch length" must be at least 10m.

This is a big problem with trams, esp. in dense urban areas where you are trying to follow the street pattern. It seems unnecessary as trams have very tight turning radius and don't mind if there are curves just before or after a branch.

I could probably live with it if you did knock the limit back down to 30m. There are lots of situations where 100m is just not desirable and sometimes not even possible

Version 1.2 will relax some of the branching constraints and will also introduce diamond crossings.

Fantastic news! The diamond crossing will be huge by itself.

a diamond crosse would be a huge improvement, could we also get a street junction for tram track.

its a pain in the asse to branch bus lines =)

i made this knot and still dont like it:
