Additional road signs. #6

Indented items completed

I never thought it possible with the huge array of existing road signs, however there's a few situations I keep running in to for which there are no road signs in the pack.

Staggered junctions where main route changes direction:

Right-first version of zig zag (there is already left-first version in the existing pack): image

Bends with junctions. The signs for roads on the outside of the bend are already present, but there are no signs for when the road is on the inside of the bend: image image

This variant of road merging: image

For when there's a sudden stop lurking on the other side of that hairpin bend: image

Currently night time on my game, and these are unlit rural roads... image

No u-turn: image

Priority over oncoming vehicles:

Some places of interest:

Other signs that would be useful in built-up areas (ideally just the sign, without the pole, so I can stick them on walls, or position them on existing sign post poles):

Actually, a pole prop with no sign might be useful in places where those 'pole-less' signs above might merit a dedicated pole.

Super useful for motorways would be some sort of generic services sign (ie. just "Services" instead of specific name, and no price for the petrol. Definitely not 85p LOL!):

Useful resource that lists all UK signage types (as far as I can tell) and their dimensions. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2016/362/contents/made

No U-Turn is already in the Signs pack.

Also a crossroads sign is in this pack. Not sure we need different variations of this.

Hrm, never noticed that one, will take another look.

Yup, basic cross roads sign is in pack, however it's the one where the main road continues straight ahead. When the main road goes left or right at the junction, it looks a bit odd using a sign that depicts it going straight ahead.

I never understood how such roads could come in to existence, until I started making roads on a mountainous map and then I was like "Oh, they don't fit so need to take a detour".

  1. Junction Inside Left Bend
  2. Junction Inside Right Bend
  3. Merge to Main Carriageway from Left
  4. Merge to Main Carriageway from Right
  5. No U-Turns
  6. Side Road to Left
  7. Side Road to Right
  8. Staggered Junction LR (replaces original)
  9. Staggered Junction RL
  10. Zigzag Ahead (Left) (replaces original)
  11. Zigzag Ahead (Right)

I will create other signs once the roads have been updated.

Freaking awesome! Will test these tonight!

loving the new signs!

We're adding new feature to TMPE to allow cars/trucks to use bus lanes as turning lanes in road segments connected to junctions, so this sign would be useful:
