Overlays

While the tool is active, summary overlays are displayed on the map. To reduce clutter, these overlays only show where changes have been made:

(todo: image)

To see the restrictions for more distant roads and rails, scroll the camera towards them. Depending on camera position, you might need to zoom in a little.

You can set the transparency of overlays in General Settings in Settings.

When the tool is deactivated overlays will be removed. You can enable a persistent summary overlay, which is visible whenever the Toolbar is visible, in Overlays in Settings.

Refresh

When you make changes, only vehicles spawned after that point will be aware of them.

To make existing vehicles aware of changes, enable Customizations come in to effect immediately in General Settings in Settings. This may add some momentary lag on old potato computers or on big cities.

Alternatively, you can use the Clear Traffic tool to remove all existing traffic from the map, leaving only newly spawned traffic that is aware of your changes.

FAQ

Does it affect frame rate or cause lag?

I clicked on a rail junction but no icons appear?
