Street Slim Bus & Truck Zones

Description
This mod adds the following 6 street types:

  • Medium street with slim bus zone
  • Medium street with slim truck zone
  • Large street with slim bus zone
  • Large street with slim truck zone
  • Extra-large street with slim bus zone
  • Extra-large street with slim truck zone

Though these streets provide a nice visual for a bus/truck zone, more importantly they provide a pullout bus/truck lane which helps traffic keep moving. I call these "Slim" Bus/Truck Zones because the lanes were narrowed in order to add the extra bus/truck lane, while retaining the same street width (medium, large, or extra-large).

This mod is not a bus/truck stop. You must lay the street, then add the appropriate bus/truck stop. Some have asked why not just create a bus/truck station? The advantage is the AI can build along side these streets. Typically that is not the case with an actual bus or truck station.

For best results, I suggest laying a new street. It may take practice to get the zone markings to line up. You must offset the markings a bit when laying the street. When a connecting street is added, the zone markings will adjust. Though it is possible to upgrade an existing road, I personally don't like the result as the zone markings don't match up with the road segment lengths in the game.

Very nice mod! Tho I find a problem recently...

Maybe this happens because of the latest update, tho the texture of the change between different type street segments... I think the game samples too far into this mod's texture now? It produces artifacts like partial text:

Happens this way using both truck and bus lane types, for any length when used with vanilla streets of equivalent width.

Tho does not seem to happen with some modded streets, such as here using Extended Highway Pack:

The game's latest update maybe changed how street textures blend together?
Could maybe fix by making the mod's street texture slightly longer with more space between the markings? Maybe another way?

This mod is very very nice. I will make changes to my own copy for myself to fix this issue, tho I will not share it unless you wish.

Unfortunately these roads slow down traffic. If you place them directly at a traffic signal all cars use the unload lane blocking it for the trucks. Also in this case they don't use the free lane which means if theres a truck unloading they still have to wait. But what's worse is, when a car comes from a normal 2 lane road and takes the correct lane, they still slow down because the take a weird heavy turn even when the lane visually goes straight. This slows them down from 50km/h to 15 km/h, then the same happens when they go back to the normal 2 lane road again. This happens on all lanes for all sizes. So even on a 6 lane road they slows down heavily when they are on the leftmost lane and it happens no matter if a truck is unloading or not. So instead of having one lane that is occassionally blocked by an unloading truck now I have up to 6 lanes with basically a speed limit of 15 km/h all the time.

Hi all, is there any way to remove only the white markings on the side of the road as in the checker markings I guess you could call them where the bus/tram stop just leave clean road. Change nothing else.

for who has the black issue, if you change the graphics to vulkan it will resolve.

This should be in the base game. Even CSL have that...

Used to work, tried it before. Still black lanes. Angier Track Type-1 shows the same problem when making switches. That wasn't a problem before :steamsalty:

Using AMD Radeon 7. AMD is crap :steamsad:

For some reason after the update I can't create correct zones any more. I tried about hundred of times but I always get some "additional" small parts of zones at both sides where this road connects to a usual one.
