Cargo Traffic Sponge v2

Description
Soaks Cargo facility traffic.

Suggested Tweaks:

1. In some cases, it might be faster to just skip the exit loops and send traffic directly from the cargo facility to a highway.

2. If your Cargo Terminal is having problems with vehicles entering and exiting the facility, try positioning the road a little farther away from the facility or create a divot as shown in the screenshots.

For those asking the "purpose" of this- the Cargo site will generate a TON of incoming traffic- often backing up highways and city roads, which can quickly cascade into massive city-spanning gridlocks. THESE give tons of space for looping a LOT of trucks in line before the rail station, essentially creating a VERY long path to get to it- taking them OFF your highways and city roads while in line, so they don't cause massive traffic jams.

I have made a "fixed" version.. Given you credit and made it easy to see inn and out.. the asset seems to be broken at the short side where you go up. . but guessing since its 4 years old that isent gonna be fixed..

I still have a bit of trouble understanding where the "input"/"output" Streets are. And it would be nice if there was a preview pic

@Hooch & kerrigan, the purpose of it is to soak up traffic destined to your cargo train and ship depots keeping it from backing up your city services traffic.

Maybe I'm stupid. But what is the purpose of this?

I feel dumb asking this but what is the purpose of this? I've seen a few of these, does having more space for traffic to "be" just improve the function that much?

Great mod! Thanks :)

Speed seems about the same as any road. The issue is sometimes tractor trailers making wide turns would impede traffic across from it, basically having incoming/outgoing vehicles criss-cross.

If you are having problems extending out the exit lane, try using a 2-lane 1-way road, then upgrading that to a highway ramp.

Thanks a lot - saved my from rage-quitting my beatiful city after installing a new train network. :)

Small issue though, the exit lane seems to be blocked by the last descending corner, could you check that?
Also, what is the speed of your vehicles entering the station while using the divot compared to a normal road?
