Traffic Puzzle :-/ @Boat maybe

Image 1.

In the first image you can see an intersection, don't be fooled by the what looks like road its actually track for truck to drive on.

that where I have an issue I have a number of AI trucks and Semi driving around my route.. (I was able to sort the level crossing out and have that working a treat.. using the trigger multi signal and invisible signals near the level crossing thats all good).

I have the sequence of lights worked out so that I get the correct order for the lights to change.. what I need to do and I'm not sure how to do this, is have it stop my trucks(trains), and change the points so that they don't just sit there trying to set them.. yeah they eventually get them sorted but if I set them that are so much faster to move off.

this is the settings I have used for the lights .. I'm not sure if I need to setup a slave? as I think signals are enough..

I thought about using the trigger Multi signals thing but that uses lots of triggers and I'm not so sure I would be able to get the sequences right doing it that way actually I know I wont be able to..

if you know how I can do this please help me..

@Boat.... this is your area of expertise...?

you should replace the invisible signals with tram stoppers, they are almost the same, but when the traffic lights are red the stopper acts as a red signal, the invisible signals ignore the traffic lights. this is how i would do it, with the tram(truck) stoppers AFTER the split at the junction, and without the invisible signals:

yeah sorry about the invisible sigs I forgot to remove them once I had the other lights in place.. I was using them to break up the long length of track.. so I get more traffic on the roads...

OK so do I need to do anything more then just at the tram stoppers I have not used them before and atls is still very new to me..

I'm guessing need to add them to the controller...>>>???? or something...

I'll have a look..


Thanks for your reply i really do appreciated it...
