How to Set Up Working Traffic Lights at an Intersection

The mod's traffic light poles can be connected so the signals at an intersection work together instead of acting as separate decorations.

Building the Signals

1. Finish the intersection's road surface first. Use T-junction or right-angle marking blocks and add crosswalk warnings and turn arrows on each approach.

2. Open the creative inventory and find the traffic light poles. Place one on each corner of the intersection, facing the oncoming lane it controls.

3. If a pole faces the wrong direction, equip the Rotation Wand and right-click it until it faces the approaching traffic.

4. Add pedestrian lights beside the crosswalks. Add turn signal heads where you have turn-arrow lanes. Both come in multiple color casings, so choose one casing color and use it throughout the intersection for a consistent look.

Linking the Lights Together

1. Equip the Link Wand.

2. Use it on the matching traffic lights across the intersection to connect them. This lets them control the junction as one system.

3. Watch the signals cycle. Make sure opposing directions behave the way you expect before opening the road.

4. If a light still acts on its own, go back with the Link Wand and connect it again.

For larger junctions, set up and link one approach at a time. That makes it easier to see which pole belongs to which group.
