Hello everyone,

I seem to be missing the Turn Lane's for the Road. I have NAM 36 installed (clean install, no other NAM's installed) and if I open the folder and select the Turning Lanes folder there is a Plugin for Turn Lanes, NetworkAddonMod_Roads_Plugin.dat. I have the Turn Lanes for the Ave. Hope I can get some help with this. Inclosed if a pic of what I am talking about.

Try pressing the crossing with the one-way road tool. It should enable turn lanes on every orthogonal road that's connected to the crossing.

While if you are crossing two avenues it automatically gives you turning lanes, the same doesn't apply for roads or OWRs. For roads one method is to clicking with the OWR tool into thecernter of two roads crossing, or you can use the Tuleps, which is down in the Road menu. You can still use the puzzle piece based versions or the flex ones. I think still both of them available.

For OWR turning lanes (the second half of the video from 2:42):

The automatically-generated Road Turning Lanes were removed 5 years ago with the release of NAM 31.  The way they were designed caused far too much interference with a number of other Road-based NAM features, including the Network Widening Mod, Draggable Fractional Angle Roads, and the Draggable Elevated Road Viaducts.  When the old turning lane plugin was designed in 2005, the NAM mindset was that there would be a SimCity 5 in another couple years, so the thought of the ecosystem of override networks we now enjoy wasn't even remotely on their mind then.

We ultimately had to pull the plug on them and go for the methods simonvangenderen and Tyberius06 described.  The FLEX Turn Lanes (FTL) "QuickTurn" feature is probably the quickest and most stable way aside from the One-Way Road stub overplop.
