Traffic Manager 11 for Cities: Skylines Help

Toggle Traffic Lights

Overview

Use this tool to quickly toggle traffic lights at a junction.

Usage

This tool can be applied to:

  • Road junction nodes (may also work with transition nodes, but unreliable)

  • Train junction nodes

Notably, it can not be applied to:

  • Level crossings - traffic lights are mandatory

  • Timed traffic lights - they are protected to avoid accidental deletion

Activate

Choose Toggle Traffic Lights on the Toolbar:

Toggle Traffic Lights tool

You can set a keyboard shortcut to activate the tool in the Key Bindings in Settings.

Overlays

While the tool is active, suitable junctions will have icons depicting whether junctions have traffic lights:

(todo: image)

To see icons for more distant roads and tracks, scroll the camera towards them. Depending on camera position, you might need to zoom in a little. You can set the Overlay Transparency in General Settings in Settings.

When the tool is deactivated, overlays will be removed.

You can enable a persistent summary overlay for Timed Traffic Lights, which is visible whenever the Toolbar is visible, in Overlays in Settings.
