Hello guys,

I have had this problem for a quite a while.

I have a big truck station, where Tanker fill up of petrol to then deliver it to the gas stations who need it. I also have a tram line, adjacent to the station (is the same station in fact) that serves that Oil Refinery, Crude Oil Exploration and the near cities.
There are six truck lines, two post lines and a tram line. So, to easy the way of truck and to save money building more stations and maintain them, I have a choose sign on the start of each section of the Junction.

That choose sign, takes the trucks to the tram platform. And that makes congestion on that side of the road, making huge traffic jams.

Is this normal?
Is there a solution?

Thank you in advance for helping me :)
Best regard from Portugal.

I had a similar problem, so I made an end-of-choose sign for roads, that should solve your problem. It works in the same way as on railroad. Just put it on stops that you want to keep free from trucks. You can find it here: https://uran.webstep.net/~vladki/simutrans/
However the sign is for normal pak64 and pak128, it might look funny in british pak - driving on left.

Ok.
I will try it.

The sign sitting on the other side of the road is not a problem, as long as it works :)

Thank you.
