Bus-Only Road Enabler
FAQThe Plazas & Promenades DLC added some functional bus-only roads. Do I still need this mod?1) Are you subscribed to, and intend to use, any bus-only roads published on the Workshop before the P&P DLC release?
Yes ➔ Read on.
No ➔ You don’t.
2) Are you using TM:PE?
Yes ➔ You don’t, and you never needed to (but you do need TM:PE to make those roads functional).
No ➔ You do.Is there any difference in functionality between this mod and P&P DLC bus-only roads?Yes, there is in fact, although a subtle one.
P&P DLC roads completely prohibit any traffic other than buses and emergency vehicles from bus-only roads. This mod heavily discourages other traffic from using these roads.
The main implication is: with P&P DLC roads, any buildings placed along a bus-only road must be located inside a Pedestrian Area and require a service area building nearby to function. Any Workshop roads which predate the P&P DLC used in conjunction with this mod, do not need any of that: garbage collections, shop deliveries and whatnot will be able to reach the buildings directly.
Makes bus-only roads possible.¹
*roads need to be obtained separately.
The mod heavily discourages normal traffic from using bus-only roads.
Normal traffic (cars, trucks, etc.) will not use bus-only roads, unless they have no other choice or there are no sensible alternatives.
Examples where normal traffic will continue using these roads include anything requiring direct access to properties located next to such a road, e.g. shop deliveries, residents access, bin collections etc.

When loading a save for the first time after enabling this mod, it may take some time for the new rules to kick in.
Regrettably, the mod is not compatible with TM:PE; it will do nothing whatsoever if enabled. This is because TM:PE uses its own pathfinding code. You can achieve a similar thing with TM:PE settings, so if you are using TM:PE, you are not losing much.
- Vanilla++ bus-only roads ✔️
- Most custom bus-only roads found on the Steam Workshop ✔️
- Improved Lane Connections ✔️
- Most other mods you will find on the Workshop ✔️
For the mod to recognise the road as a bus-only road, the bus lanes must be of ‘TransportVehicle’ type, and the road must not contain any normal car lanes (‘Vehicle’ lane type, ‘Car’ vehicle type) in the same direction as the bus lane.
