Traffic Jam caused by closing road using car in fend-off position

[Evan Vincent]

Hi Devs there is a problem with RTC scenarios whereby i park my patrol car in a position to protect injured pedestrians, however this then causes a traffic build up behind my vehicle meaning the EMS and tow truck cannot reach the scene in order to treat casualties and latterly remove the offending/damaged vehicles from the scene.

I wouldn't hold out hope for the devs to change this because they seem to be taking their time which is not necessarily a problem but they're taking extra long to fix issues and such hopefully this can be changed but in all honesty if it doesn't I won't be surprised.

Because the game still crashes a lot for a huge number of people and the devs seem not the care outside of asking what message shows up when it crashes and then they just magically disappear into the ather.

Yeah, if you run a traffic stop, you'll notice the same thing happens. The stopped cruiser will cause vehicles to stop if they don't have a lane to shift to. If you use the shop to block traffic for the immediate time, they'll sit and wait if there is no available lane. You still need to deploy road barriers to have them automatically make U-Turns. Provided there isn't a median.

Thanks for your help folks, i have noticed the best way to handle it is to just do the necessary paperwork and interviews/arrests then tow trucks then just go back onto normal patrol and let the AI deal with the traffic backlog lol :)

I just leave the traffic. Works every time. If they sit there patiently for two in-game hours without honking, they can wait longer :)

Here's my two cents. The dev's have no idea how to fix this. It's been a problem since the game first came out, and it's still a problem! There have been thousands of complaints and examples (I've submitted some myself)
But still, nothing changes.

I've given up on this simulation.
