I am having trouble with the junctions at the East end of the Mojave yard. Oncoming drivers come to the same junction and seem to hold for each other. Two trains to nowhere fast. Each opposing driver has red lights on either side of the junction.
What can be edited in Driver rules to resolve junction conflicts?
What strategy is used to keep oncoming trains from becoming gridlocked on routes?
Can junction priority be offered to individual drivers to avoid track-side "fistfights"?
This was a Route I built based upon the built-in Mojave Sub route.
I thought Trainz would have resolved junction disputes between AI drivers along time ago. What rules do RR's use for junction right-of-way?
Here is a video clip of a train pile-up in the Tehachapi Mountains.

The stupidity of AI train control is really starting show its true colors with me now.
This seems to only happen when two oncoming trains approach the same junction at the same time.
But sometimes an AI driver will come to a red junction signal and be apparently holding for nobody, no other visible trains for miles around.
It could be the signal's fault.
My route needs logical rail traffic management.
I AM re-editing some of my default switch settings at some junctions so that AI rail traffic is hopefully compelled to bear onto the right-hand track when a single track diverges into a double-track system.
Double track sections should allow two-way trains to pass one another.
I believe American railroads follow a keep-to-the-right convention on double-track sections as does motor traffic.
