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.
- This is a screenshot of the traffic view in road construction view.
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?

I've suggested something like this before. People weren't very interested.

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.
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.
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.

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.
