Joining road lofts and traffic
I'm trying to join two sections of road loft together. They line up properly but I want the traffic to travel over the entire length rather than appear and disappear at the join. Is this possible? The loft I'm using is 2L Conc Med 2000.

Traffic spawning is notoriously fickle. Rather than join it I'd delete one section and continue the other until it's out of sight. You probably won't ever get a join that traffic will spawn across.
I don't think any of the default traffic looks good and I tend not to bother, empty roads are less of a distraction than respawning red buses

Re: Joining road lofts and traffic
Rick at G-Trax did quite a lot of testing on this for his Portland Terminal route I believe, and reached the conclusion that the maximum continuous length of road possible with uninterrupted traffic is 1000m, or the distance between two "red triangle" ribbon joins. However, I have occasionally seen traffic continue uninterrupted across these joins, but as Ben says it is a very fickle beast.
