How to find the traffic accident?

[Moondog548]

I see in the event log that traffic accidents have occurred, and I hear the radio bulletin that they have happened, but I have no idea WHERE. (The event log entry should be clickable to jump to the location IMO)

I can use the traffic "flow" overlay to see problem spots, but I'm not sure if that's a reliable way to find out where accidents are prone to occur.

There should be an icon over the area indicating the accident.

Like the indicator for floods, populated water, ground etc displays.

I agree that there should! ;-}

But I have yet to spot one, and it's not very helpful in general if it's just luck whether I happen to stumble over it scanning my city before it gets cleared away.

Thanks for the response!

Half the accidents are on the highways outside your city.

I think it’s easier to spot the icon. If you go into one of the overlay views for safety, I think is the one?

I don't like the accidents and abrupt lane changes. I love the idea. But The AI is not ready.

On some roads cars can't pick the right lane 90% of the time, its to much. and they al change on the same spot usual just infront of the intersection. Making extra dedicated lanes sometimes have no impact at all.

Car accidents should make it morerealistic but and after each car accident traffic despawn. So it has the opposite effect..

The most fun thing i do in these games is logistics. But despawning traffic & fake industry does not help...
