Extended Traffic Light Timing

Description
This mod set longer timing signal to the traffic lights. The traffic light timing modifications are consist of:
  • 24 seconds green light signal interval. (26 seconds in certain countries)
  • 4 seconds yellow signal interval after the green light, before turned red.
  • 2 seconds yellow signal after the red light, before turned green. (only at certain countries. also see "Light Sequences" section)
  • 2 seconds interval between traffic light pattern switching.
Note:
The red signal interval may vary depend on the traffic light pattern complexity.


Additional modifications are:
  • Dimmer traffic light's bulb lamp while light is OFF.
  • Longer refuel time at gas station for AI vehicles (cars and trucks).
  • Longer border document check time (applies differently for cars and trucks).
  • Faster opening barrier (toll booth & border check).



Light Sequences
Starting game version 1.53, this mod introduce different light sequence than game default at certain countries. It starts from feedbacks that Greece DLC has incorrect Red-to-Green light sequence compared to the real life. This makes me decide to re-inspect base map and previous DLCs for incorrect light sequence in other countries too. Feel free to drop a comment if you have futher information about incorrect traffic light light sequences in the game.

Here the country list where the light sequence are considered incorrect and "fixed" in this mod:
  • Bosnia/Herzegovina: Red-Green (formerly Red-Red+Yellow-Green)
  • Montenegro: Red-Green (formerly Red-Red+Yellow-Green)
  • Albania: Red-Green (formerly Red-Red+Yellow-Green)
  • Greece: Red-Green (formerly Red-Red+Yellow-Green SCS fix it)
  • Romania: Red-Green (formerly Red-Red+Yellow-Green)

Supported Game Version
  • 1.55
  • 1.54
  • 1.53
  • 1.52
  • 1.51
  • 1.50

Disclaimer
This mod should work in official game with any map DLCs. However, it does not provides support for any map mod that comes with their own traffic light objects and custom switching. If you are currently using any map mod, this mod may not work as expected. This mod has no plan to support 3rd party's map mods.

Just subscribe the mod and add it to your active mod list. No need additional DLCs or other mods. This mod works for any map DLCs you currently use. However, this mod may not works properly with certain map mods.

Do I have to change anything to the game files for the mod to work or is it ready as soon I install it? @madman

Hi, I notice some traffic lights are missing in Berlin when this mod loaded with Promods, any chance to make this mod compatible with Promods?

Clever mod. Goes beyond traffic lights timing and is constantly updated. Excellent. Thank you.

Yes, if you want to use a different textures or flares for traffic lights. Either from other mod or your own created mod. Just put that kind of mod at higher mod's order than this mod. Mod conflict only happening if both mods modify the interval timing signal in game's semaphores.
