Making T junctions
Draw a side road onto a main road and get a proper OMSI junction.
The basic move
- Open Roads (R) and make sure Make junctions is on.
- Start outside the road you want to join.
- Finish on it. Wayline cuts the main road, puts a generated junction there and connects your road to its side arm.
You can also start a road on another road and draw away from it. That makes a T junction too.
Where the junction goes (2.9.1)
- The junction's centre sits exactly on the road where you joined it, facing along the road.
- The side arm starts at the point you drew to, so your road meets it as drawn, without swerving.
- The main road's two arms point along the road's real course, so a junction on a curve, or where a straight meets a curve, carries on without a kink.
Angles and corners
- Side roads can join at anything from about 24° to 156°.
- Junction corners (m) sets how rounded the kerbs are: 1–3 m gives tight town corners, 6 m leaves more turning room for buses, and up to 15 m is possible.
- When the road is near the end of a piece, the junction can move up to 12 m along it to find room.
If a junction is refused
Very sharp, folded or self-crossing layouts can still be refused. Give the approach a little more room, add a road point with N, or use two junctions instead of forcing one. The status bar tells you why.
Pavements
If the roads have pavements, Wayline asks whether to Trim, Keep or Cancel. See Pavements at junctions.
