Unwanted Automobiles on the Bridges

[ATNeophyte]

The 1860's are where my interest's lie. I have placed about every wooden bridge I can find across a river on my layout.
I always make sure I disable the cars before I save my layout when leaving Surveyor. Unfortunately, when I get into Driver, and am approaching the bridge(s) with a horse & buggy, I have cars coming and going across the bridge. I have checked and rechecked to make sure I am, in fact, disabling the cars, and I am. As I never intend to use cars, is there any way to get rid of them?
Thank you.

It would seem that the bridges you have chosen (or any roads you have laid over them) allow traffic. Toggling the traffic in Surveyor will affect only Surveyor, not the game. You need to edit the config file for each bridge. You will find in the config.txt file a line beginning 'carrate'. There will be a number after this. You need to set that number to zero. Save the file, commit the asset and the cars should have disappeared.

There may be a way to turn off road traffic by altering the config for the route itself, but I am not sure of this. Someone else may know?

if you have the default region, there will be no cars. any other region, IE united states and germany, will have cars as the cars are programed into the region.

If you attach a short length of a no-traffic invisible road (such as the AJS spline eraser) to each end of the bridge, no traffic will spawn, as it always spawns at the end of a run of road splines.

Toggling the traffic 'Off' in Surveyor does turn it off in Driver. I hate road traffic, toggle it off in Surveyor, never see it.

Adding the line

-disablecarz

to Trainzoptions.txt will kill road traffic dead irrespective of any surveyor/driver settings, or at least it did in older versions but not all trainzoptions entries still work. Worth trying though...
