This is a controller for the traffic lights from streets (version 1 or 2 works, version 2 recommended) or roads.

It's available in both a pole-mount version:

and a NEMA-ish cabinet version:

Both of them support the same features, including but not limited to:
  • GUI configuration
  • Adjustable timing
  • Optional detector support
  • Left turn and pedestrian signal support
  • Flashing yellow arrow support
  • Density control (through movement only)
  • Preemption
  • Traffic counting
  • Fault logging
  • Full hardware compatibility with the older TrafficNeXt 3+ and LTC-4000 controllers

Instructions:
The pole-mount version is designed to attach directly to a pole from streets or roads, and the digiline signals will travel through the pole. The cabinet version can have digilines connected directly, a pole running next to it, or a digilines distributor (again from streets or roads) two nodes below.

To access the menu system, right-click the controller. The cabinet type needs to have its door opened first (left-click). You can then change settings as desired, although the defaults are suitable for a 3-way or 4-way intersection with no left turn or pedestrian signals.

Each approach to the intersection is assigned a letter (click "Menu" and then "Monitoring" to see a diagram). The traffic lights should be on the following digilines channels:
"a" - Straight-through on approach A
"b" - Straight-through on approach B
"c" - Straight-through on approach C
"d" - Straight-through on approach D
"at" - Left turn on approach A
"bt" - Left turn on approach B
"ct" - Left turn on approach C
"dt" - Left turn on approach D
"ap" - Pedestrian crossing across approach A
"bp" - Pedestrian crossing across approach B
"cp" - Pedestrian crossing across approach C
"dp" - Pedestrian crossing across approach D

Detectors can be anything that will emit a digilines signal on the proper channel, however the digilines player detectors and buttons from digistuff are recommended. They should emit signals on these channels:
"detector_a" - Straight-through on approach A (optional, but traffic will be counted if present)
"detector_b" - Straight-through on approach B
"detector_c" - Straight-through on approach C (optional, but traffic will be counted if present)
"detector_d" - Straight-through on approach D
"detector_at" - Left turn on approach A
"detector_bt" - Left turn on approach B
"detector_ct" - Left turn on approach C
"detector_dt" - Left turn on approach D
"detector_ap" - Pedestrian crossing across approach A
"detector_bp" - Pedestrian crossing across approach B
"detector_cp" - Pedestrian crossing across approach C
"detector_dp" - Pedestrian crossing across approach D
"preempt_a" - Preemption for approach A
"preempt_b" - Preemption for approach B
"preempt_c" - Preemption for approach C
"preempt_d" - Preemption for approach D

Is this in your streets mod or is this an extra? And this is perfect because my students and I were just trying to figure out traffic lights!!

It's not included in streets (or roads), but is intended to work with those mods.

I just got to start messing with these in class and it was so excited to see the traffic lights turn colors! I still have a lot to learn but my students were flipping out in excitement at us getting a working intersection and we actually got yelled at because a girl was being too loud going "MMMMMM" as she was driving her car. She was having by far the most fun I've ever seen her have when she is typically kind of grumpy and I didn't have the heart to calm her down. My boss yelling did though :)
