Cims Stuck at Crosswalks

Symptom

• A large number of cims are stuck waiting to cross the road

• Note: Traffic jam in image above was unrelated (was just traffic lights on red)

Cause

• A game limitation prevents distant sidewalks from being connected

  • The issue is most common on huge junctions caused by very large roads.

  • The issue may also arise if you make a junction too big when using Node Controller mods.

  • Asset creators: If your road asset creates junctions that are 64f or bigger, it will cause this problem.

• There are potentially some other causes which are still being investigated (see Issue #1110).

Solution

• Make the junction smaller:

  • Use smaller roads if possible, and avoid sharp angles which can sometimes cause large junctions

  • Use Node Controller mod to shrink the size of the junction

• Make a bridge or tunnel:

  • Use pedestrian path networks to create a bridge/tunnel

  • Automatic Pedestrian Bridge Builder mod makes it easy to add bridges (and tunnels!) at junctions

• Disable crosswalks that are causing problems

  • Use Junction Restrictions tool to disable the crosswalks

• Check for broken nodes, etc.

  • Use the Broken Nodes Detector mod to scan for and fix some common road problems.

  • See guide: Removing Ghost Nodes and Broken Nodes

• Try to "free" the cims:

  • Click Reset stuck cims and vehicles button in Settings Maintenance Settings.
