Title: One-Way Private Road signs
Post by: hymie on February 08, 2026, 07:13:07 PM
I honestly don't know if this is an Engine request or a PakSet request,

Rail signals can be set up as directional, allowing passage one direction and blocking passage in the other direction.  I'm not sure if road signals allow this or not.

The "Private Road" signal blocks public traffic in both directions.  But sometimes, a car will be spontaneously created on a private road and it cannot get out.

So I would like to request that the "Private Road" be a one-way signal, blocking public traffic from entering the private area, but allowing traffic to exit the private area.

Thanks.

YOu could do that with a single way and a private road one after the other ...

Doesn't a one-way signal block **all** traffic?  I don't want to block **my** busses and trucks, only the game-generated cars.

Wouldn't that prevent the player's own vehicles traversing the gate in both directions, though? That is often highly desirable.

E.g. imagine you have an industry in a town centre which requires several stops (because the input/output is high). You don't want private cars going into your stops, which are effectively a small bus station/road freight yard. But it's also highly undesirable to demolish half the town centre in order to put a fence around it (and some paksets don't even have fences). Allowing private cars to exit, but not enter, stops the build-up of traffic.
