For advanced **details** and **real vehicle counting, occupied lanes, waiting vehicles, etc.** a **custom phase cycle** is required For **complicated intersections** it is always recommended to design **custom phase cycles** to experience the **best performance** and most fun with the mod's features
--- ### Predefined Options The mod comes with several predefined options with which you can extend the predefined modes, which can again significantly improve intersection performance. These include the following - and what they do: - **Allow Turn on Red:** Allows turning (LHT: Left / RHT: Right) despite a red light - **Yield to Oncoming Vehicles (Vanilla only):** Vehicles must watch for oncoming traffic when turning (High traffic volume can reduce effectiveness when drivers aggressively "push through") - **Exclusive Pedestrian Phase:** All vehicles stop; a dedicated phase only for pedestrians becomes active - **Pedestrian Phase Duration:** Sets the green phase for pedestrians. - *Note: Only active with "Exclusive Pedestrian Phase". The traffic lights are not "smart" and do not extend automatically***Parameter Description** **- Minimum Duration:** The phase must run at least this long, completely independent of whether there is high or low traffic on it **- Maximum Duration:** The phase may be active for at most this long (e.g., to actively reduce phase duration on lower-traffic arms to favor main traffic directions) **- Target Duration:** Influences (as one of two factors) the duration of the green phase. 2x = twice as long, etc. **- Lane Occupancy:** Influences (as the second of two factors) the duration of the green phase, but target-controlled, not in principle like target duration, but ONLY when the lane is actually occupied by vehicles **- Interval Exponent:** Vehicles and phases that would have to wait a long time are favored in Priority Mode to prevent them from "starving". However, this can be handled more elegantly with the more modern variant (Sequential Mode)
