KingBow5er1255 Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 There is a bug in ATSMP when the left turn signal light is green, the traffic lights are also green for both sides of the person turning left. This is very important!
Terry A Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 I noticed this very quickly, but I'm fairly certain this is an SCS bug and not one related to the actual multiplayer aspects of the game.
Sanguinem Luna Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) This is not a TruckersMP bug or SCS bug. In the US, this is an actual thing. It means that the left turn lane can turn when it's safe to do (No oncoming traffic or a break in oncoming traffic). Makes it better as in some cases, you won't have to wait for the light to cycle. You simply just need to wait for a break in traffic. My city has a ton of it's Left Arrow lights set to be green, even when the oncoming side is green as well. It's convenient and can save time.

slayer320 Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 I think what he is referring to is that the lights in for all turn green, even when you have the green arrow. Oncoming traffic, same way traffic and left turn light all are turning green at the same time. I think I've seen this happen a few times as well.

In the US I can vouch that this is common that the oncoming traffic light can be green, the same way traffic can be green and the green arrow pops up for freedom to turn when an opening or halt in traffic occurs. So what Sanguinem_Luna said was actually stating exactly this. All three mentioned lights are green. In some places in the states, this is common. Others have the oncoming traffic halted with the green light for turning. So, it just depends on where its appropriated from. ------EDIT I just happened to glance back at this post. I seem to have misread something. A green turn signal means oncoming traffic should have a red. I feel like I was thinking you were talking about traffic flowing with the one with an arrow, not opposite. 1
slayer320 Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 No. No where in the entire US will you get a GREEN left turn light at the same time that oncoming traffic also has a green. A flashing yellow left arrow, yes. Never a green. 1
Sanguinem Luna Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 ^ Maybe not around where you live, but in my city, we have green arrows while oncoming has green too.
SypherMWB Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 Yeah depends what country, they work fine for me though.

I had a long explanation typed out, but if can't comprehend what a green arrow means, I assume you don't even actually have a license. Green arrow means a protected turn.
Interstate Nomad Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 Can somebody provide a location of an intersection where it has happened? Maybe a video of SP and of MP?

Green arrow means a protected turn. Again, perhaps that's what it means in your part of the US, but over here in my part of the US, our city has Left Turn Arrows active when oncoming has green too. Not all the time and not at every traffic light, but it is a thing here in NY. And no I don't have a license, but I do have a Learners Permit and I drive like any other person would who has a license. Only thing I'm missing to get my license is the mandatory 5-hour course and the Road Test. I studied the NYS DMV handbook thoroughly before taking the written test and I passed with only one incorrect answer and that question I got wrong was not something they covered in their handbook. It was a question that I doubt many people get right and it is not a common occurrence on the road. Do keep in mind, each state has their own laws and their own way of doing things. Whatever Central US state you live in may have their traffic lights set up in the way you're describing. But over here in NY, there are traffic lights where you will get a Green Left Arrow while oncoming straight traffic also has a Green Light.
slayer320 Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 No. Seriously. Learn what a protected turn means.
Terry A Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 On 11/7/2017 at 8:33 AM, slayer320 said: No. Seriously. Learn what a protected turn means. This is correct. A GREEN ARROW in the United States signifies a Protected Turn. A protected turn means you have the right-of-way. Per common vehicle code sections in the US, the intersection design seen in ATS, in which both opposing sides are given GREEN lights and GREEN left turn arrows is improper and incorrect. Additionally, please note that in the US: Flashing Red Lights are stop signs. Flashing Yellow Lights are yield signs. 3 1
TheDarkAngel7 Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 I actually noticed this bug first when ATSMP was first released for the game update of the green arrows (either 1.2 or 1.3). The admins had said that this is a known issue and has already been brought to the admins. When one direction shows a green light and arrow, the opposing direction showing the same thing is a bug. It's simply the way the traffic lights are synced, the system doesn't know that there's a green arrow in place now, it thinks it's still a regular light. ~ TheDarkAngel7 ~
[VIVA] Night Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 With this most Recent update with New Mexico. The Traffic Lights are all Red and wont change to Green at all. I set on the side of the road watching them and for around 20 min. real time the lights won't turn green. I delivered a load just a min ago, and all the Traffic Lights are stuck on Red.
kenworth007 Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 Stop lights on my end are also broke. All the red like the post before.
Bloedig Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 Posted these stuck red lights in another thread. All lights red and traffic tickets for going thru.
Digital Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Does anyone have a video example of this? A comparison between single player and multiplayer of the lights synchronisation would be beneficial to determine the bug.
Praymus Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 flashing lights mean you can pass if the road is empty.
ScaniaFan89 Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Thank god our traffic lights are simple & clear in the UK! 1
