Left Hand Traffic

Description
Can be used to start a game with left hand traffic by reversing all driving lanes on new streets. Warning: It is not advised to add it to existing save games as the existing streets and stations will still use the the right hand traffic until they are updated and this will lead to traffic chaos, in the best case, or a crash.
It also mirrors the bus and tram models so the doors open at the left hand side and passengers don't have to get out in the middle of the road (only a visual thing, as passengers jump directly from bus to side walk).
The newly added dependency on the Improved Street Constructions mod is not really a must but it changes the street constructions automatically to left hand traffic when used together with this mod. Have added this as a separate mod because it also add more street options that are useful for the default right hand traffic.

Known issues
  • Passengers at the road side bus stops wait with there back to the road. This hard coded and can not be modded as far as I can determine. The Devs said they would look into this issue.
  • When placing a road side bus stop the directional arrow on the road points in the wrong direction. This also is hard coded and thus not modable to my knowledge. The stop it self however functions as it should.
  • The mirroring of vehicle is done in a script so in priciple logo's and lettering will be mirrored too. Have reskinned the vanilla buses and trams so lettering on them now show correctly.
  • Not all configurations of a modular station work that well because paths created assume right handed traffic. For now stick with combined entrance/exit roads in the middle or corners.

To do
  • Improve modular station pathing.
  • Hope the Devs fix the visual issues of the road side bus/tram stops.

WARNING: Not save game compatible.

Compatibility
This mod is tested with the vanilla game, correct working in combination with other street and stations mods is not guarantied. However most are expected to be fine by now. Below a list of mods that I did tried:

Is compatible with:
  • Road side bus/tram stops.
  • Large Tram/Bus station 1.2.
  • Bus/Tramschaufen 1.3.
  • Bus/Trambahnhof 6 Stops.

Not (yet) compatible with:
  • SMP2.0 - Street Modpack.
  • RTPC: Road Transportation Pack of China.

If there are any other mods you would like me to test you can leave me a comment and I will try to find the time to test them.

Hi, not sure if you are still active. But Ive modified the script found in the mod.lua so that it does not flip the vehicles. I have been using it for several months with no issues, It would be great to have it uploaded on the workshop for other people to use, if I could have permission for this that would be great, alternatively if you could upload it yourself if you'd like.

I'm so sorry for what I said a long time ago, I was stupid back then and clearly didn't think. Apoligies.

@Jimbo_1977 I haven't played for a long while now but this mod was vital to me. I used it on pre-existing maps but I would edit the roads beforehand so when I started playing everything was as should be, 'on the left' lol.

The mod does exactly what it was designed for, back then there were no vehicles that had the textures the right way round for this to work, there are some now.
Using this on an existing map is not advised, & turning off is also not advised as you will have vehicles head to head on the same side of the road & end up with gridlock

Un-Subscribing or disabling the mod causes the buses to still drive on the left, doors on the right also. I am furios! Please fix!

@Fishman, yes it does, this is a really early made old mod, there is *hopefully* a newer version on the way.

I've had a problem with this mod that breaks the lighting of stock vehicles, making them appear darker than they should be
