Emergency Vehicles Traffic

[you lost punk]

I have noticed that emergency vehicles drive very slow and that they stay within traffic even when there are multiple cars in front of them.

It would be a game changer if the developers added that vehicles make space for emergency vehicles to pass trough so the response time would be way faster. Also an increase in the speed would be awesome!

I had ambulances and police cars with sirens and lights stand infront of a red light with no cars in front of them. I mean... why?

Also i had a traffic accident on a bridge with a huge jam bc of that, police car was standing inside of the jam with lights and siren, waiting.... resulting in the accindent not getting solved.

Yes, thats most annoying. EV‘s should ignore red lights and be able to „ghost“ through traffic jams as Long as there is no solution that others give way to them.

I noticed this "bug" as well, and hope they update it so that it works as in real life.
I literally watched how 1 apartment-building on fire, went from small flame, to spreading to 3 other buildings, and having huge flames, while the firetrucks were about 50m away, waiting in an intersection for 2 cars and a red light.
Please fix it, so we don't burn down our citizens for no reason.

Yes, I 100% agree with this.

This I 100% do not agree with. If emergency vehicles can't find another route to an emergency you should think about your road layout. With this being said, emergency vehicles should always drive "wrecklessly" meaning, if they encounter a traffic jam they should do a U-turn and reroute. If it's a express way, they should be able to drive down the sides as we do in real life.

yea my emergency vehicles are always stuck in lines cuz no car gives way

The 'Bus Express' strip seems to be ignored for the most part. It seems like traffic pick and choose to interfere with it and the other vehicles that are supposed to use it including emergency vehicles hardly take the opportunity to do so from what I have observed.

Working on a 911 ambulance this, sadly, sounds like a pretty accurate simulation...

Yes, very annoying. They are "running code", yet the drive just like a normal car and stop with traffic and red lights.

Bus lane road upgrade can also allow for EV's to use those special road paths.
Was thinkiing of making a few of my 4 lane roads setup with bus lanes just to give EV's some breathing room.

my city size is around 50k residents.

How is the traffic actually? Do people enjoy how car traffic system works now ?

This was advertised in the dev blogs.

But yet its nowhere to be found in the release version of the game.

No traffic management was at the core of cs1 the traffic in cs2 seems to need very little to zero management.

Many thanks for answering
I think they prevent too much traffic from appearing in the first place ?

Maybe I will boot the game up in the week and have a closer look.
