Mod option: Exclude bends and small roads (u-turns) #365

Open originalfoo opened 5 years ago

originalfoo commented 5 years ago

In maintenance tab of mod options, there's a setting to "Vehicles may u-turn at junctions".

I think it would be useful to have an extra option, indented below the main option, to prevent default u-turns being applied to bend nodes and small roads that are not suitable for such manoeuvres.

o Vehicles may do u-turns at junctions (existing option)
    o Exclude bends and small roads (new option)

When enabled, the new option would prevent default 'allow u-turn' from being applied on small roads (including at junctions) and bend nodes.

Some comments on this:

  1. Option text should not contain a negation ("Vehicles my do u-turns at bends")
  2. Options should be seperated (one for bends, one for small roads)
  3. How do you define a small road?
  4. There was a similar issue (https://github.com/VictorPhilipp/Cities-Skylines-Traffic-Manager-President-Edition/issues/101) where I stated that implementing such kind of feature would cause performance issues. I don't know remember why this would be the case. Default values of junction restrictions can be dependent on node properties which might have been an issue in the past.

How do you define a small road?

Based on UI category of the prefab - so anything in the small roads tab.

"For roads - dirt road is level 1 and the other roads have level 2 - 5 based on their UI category." -- taken from https://cslmodding.info/asset/network/#node-flags > Transition.
