Button for on/off traffic mode
As you might have already noticed, in road construction mode the traffic view is automatically enabled, and you got nothing to do about it.
So, a button (eye icon is suggested) should be placed beside auto-join, which enables/disables traffic mode. One good reason is it can be hard to see the type of road, especially when you will upgrade it. What do you think?

Re: Button for on/off traffic mode
I've suggested something like this before. People weren't very interested.

Re: Button for on/off traffic mode
What about now.. Lets see if that changed. I just dont see the point of hating this at all, it will not interrupt you in any way.KINGTUT10101 wrote: ↑28 Jul 2017, 05:05I've suggested something like this before. People weren't very interested.
Here is a good example:
Lets say you are gonna upgrade a country road to a one way for some reasons, and you didnt wanted to fail. Yes you can just view it outside but what if there are skyscrapers?
Another one:
If you will upgrade a plug-in road to another road, and there are skyscrapers, this will help you.

Exactly, if you try to solve traffic problems in a dense downtown area, you have a hard time trying to see which road is which type.BetterBear wrote: ↑28 Jul 2017, 05:33Lets say you are gonna upgrade a country road to a one way for some reasons, and you didnt wanted to fail.

I would like such a button to toggle that off.
It could be helpful for other types of buildings, that have some form of influence, too.

Yes, I guess in simulation mode this can be even more annoying than in sandbox mode, because you actually burn money for misplacing tiles.BetterBear wrote: ↑29 Jul 2017, 02:22I had misplacing accident like 25 times now lolmdk_813 wrote: ↑28 Jul 2017, 17:13Exactly, if you try to solve traffic problems in a dense downtown area, you have a hard time trying to see which road is which type.BetterBear wrote: ↑28 Jul 2017, 05:33Lets say you are gonna upgrade a country road to a one way for some reasons, and you didnt wanted to fail.

Re: Button for on/off traffic mode
I think I added a setting to disable it in experimental features. The problem is that there's not much space left to put it with the other button on the top of the screen.

Re: Button for on/off traffic mode
I think it should stay in the settings.
