Modified traffic behavior using TM:PE mod to reflect Sri Lankan driving habits: - Buses may ignore lane arrows - Vehicles may enter blocked junctions - Vehicles may do U-turns at junctions - 10% of drivers are reckless - Vehicles may park on the sides of streets - Three wheelers and scooters Brilliant!

  Do you happen to observe same traffic jams in same area and time windows as in the real world? Also, do City Skyline drivers behaving like drivers who would use Waze (or could be configured so that a certain amount do) ?

    We see broadly the same chokepoints (Galle Road, Baseline Road, the arteries feeding into Colombo). Modify these and the chokepoints distribute themselves. Small chokepoints don't always appear. Broadly, if you can do it by fiddling with this: https://doc.tmpe.me/vehicles.html https://doc.tmpe.me/vehicles.html, you can pull it off.

      Yeah but cows rarely roam free there :)

        Cows don't roam free in Sri Lankan cities, either. You are aware that South Asia is a subcontinent and a whole set of islands, and not one singular city,right?

        I have heard many Hindus consider the cow a holy animal and let them roam where they please. And there are many Hindus in Sri Lanka (though there are more buddhists who don't consider cows holy but are vegetarians). And yes I know the region pretty well. I've lived more than half my life outside my home country (in 3 different ones). Though never been to Sri Lanka no.

        Never seen a single cow on the road in Sri Lanka. Though I only visited the western half of the country from about the Colombo to Kandy line down to the very southernmost tip. However, the other settings seem about right to conservative vs. reality. I literally just got out of the airport in a taxi and thought I was gonna die, so fast and close to an oncoming car was the taxi going. Probably about two atoms worth of "air" between their side mirror and the taxi's. Traffic lights might as well not exist. Everyone was just going through the intersection at the same time. No elephants on the raods either but an army of Tuk Tuks. Actually preferable to car taxis. Never took one again. Bus travel was interesting as well.
