Tram rails
Hi! Is there a mod or has anyone heard of such a mod where the tram street is unusable by bus, truck and car traffic? If there is such a mod, could you please share it with me?
Kindly thank you in advance.

Hi, for your buses/trucks, make their lines use a different route or drive in different lanes than the trams by using waypoints. Waypoints can control where they go and which lane they drive in (click on the waypoint and select the lane).

For the car traffic, activating the bus lane can help but some traffic might still end up in the tram lane. It's my understanding that no mod prevents this 100%. Different mods try different combinations of appearance, bus lanes, tram lanes, AI building control, player ownership, etc to make it better, so you might need to experiment to see which works best in your case.

Some examples I've seen:

These, all 3 of them, don't have what I seek. I search for tram road and not a road with tram tracks on it where cars can drive on.

As far as I know the last 2 are the closest we have to car-free tramways.

Alternatively you can use a mod that converts trams to rail vehicles and use them on rail tracks, and then place rail tracks next to roads, or on top of roads, using mods like Build With Collision, etc. If you place them on top of roads tho, trams and cars will still drive thru each other.

Unfortunately due to the way the game structures trams - as a toggleable subcategory of roads, instead of its own modal type - I do not think strictly tram only roads are possible.

There are a number of tram-only roads but vehicular traffic will still use it if there is not a reasonably fast route nearby.

For light rail systems with few to no street running segments, you could try using rail tracks combined with the Build With Collision mod, and smaller train consists instead, as per the suggestion above.

Thank you for the information.

CommonAPI2 adds tram only streets, these will failback to bus only streets when CommonAPI2 can't be loaded...

The game has several hard limits (and errors). The Street Fine Tuning tries to overcome some of them, but it cannot do magic. The mod docu contains more details.
