More realistic U-turns #153

Open chances opened 7 years ago

chances commented 7 years ago

In my experience driving, I need at least two lanes in the opposite direction in order for my car to clear the turn. Also, it's very rare that a car has such a tight turning radius that it can turn from the center most lane into the center most opposite lane, large trucks even moreso. (Maybe a new car type like a super sub-compact like the Fiat or a Smart Car could be added? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:)

For added realism:

Another thought: Is there a plan to make turning restrictions at intersections customizable? U-turns are actually quite rare in my experience, so it would make sense to have to turn them on explicitly. As an example, in South Korea U-turns usually have their own lane like this.

OpenStreetMap has extensive tagging support for this and also some UI in their online editor. Maybe it can be some inspiration.

Absolutely intersection turning lane management and control like Traffic++ in Skylines!!
