Hey guys,

I just wanted to share some pics of my new project in which I'll try to place traffic lights on the right side of the road, like in US reality.

This is just some kind of demo version, I made it quickly in SNT, just to see if it is possible. And it looks that it is! Vehicles stops normally on the correct side of street, they don't stop under newly placed traffic lights. So do peds.
My second goal is to try remove old traffic lights, just to see, what will happen: whether vehicles and peds will still obey 'traffic rules' or not. And of course placing new traffic lights as 'static', so they won't be needed spawn by SNT.
 
I just started, so please be patient. I will post my success/failure soon (or I hope so).

NOICE! 

srsly tho, been waiting for this. Wonder why Rockstar thought this was okay in the first place. Atleast they fixed it in V. 

I don't think they planned on people actually following the traffic lights, so making it lifelike wasn't a huge issue.

​They didn't know Michael would!

Quick update:

I managed to improve one crossroad, removed old lights and placed new ones. These are generated by WPL file, so SNT is not needed. However, it's a little bit lenghty and I don't know, whether I'll be putting traffic lights into WPL or SNT (this is an easier option) in the future. Plus I don't have much time now ...

Meanwhile, you can enjoy some screens. As you can see, vehicles and peds obey traffic signals, which is good. (This is not generated by lights themselves, but some other file, perhaps paths.img)

 

Never noticed this... Sweet idea though! I like the ones like such:

I love this idea,please finish it

I think this is a great idea. I will await for updates.

Here is another crossroad.

I'm trying to work on it, but doing this takes lot of time. I have to spawn it with, SNT, then manually transfer to WPL and then try it ingame, because even if rewritten from SNT file to WPL properly, I have issues with facing - traffic lights (even for peds) sometimes facing on the wrong side, so I have to repair it ... And I could not use Loki's map mod importer because my excel is not in English. Thus making just one crossroad takes approximately a half an hour.

So if someone wants to give a hand, I would be very grateful.

Well, I guess 'manhat04' is finished. Here are some screens:

Any update to this yet? 

Sadly, no. Finishing one sector takes much time and I'm very short of it, so for now, I am forced to leave it for the future ...
