美洲卡车模拟资讯：美国交通信号灯

You probably noticed that during the last few patches, traffic lights in the American Truck Simulator have had some considerable tweaks. From last year June, our research department started work on this project, but there were a few issues we would need to overcome. One of the main problems was to find a system for US traffic lights in our game, as there are many differences found in every state, region, and cities. MUTCD defines the guidelines for the whole United States, but since every State can adjust it, you see where the problem lies. We agreed to make a compromise and choose those most commonly used (which means 50%+ coverage) to be made and implemented in our game.

大家或许留意到在前几个补丁中，美洲卡车模拟里的交通信号灯有相当大的调整。从去年6月，我们的研究部门便已开始工作于此项目，但我们需要解决一些问题。其中一个主要的问题是寻找一套适合我们游戏中美国交通信号灯的系统，因为在每个州、地区及城市都存在着许多的不同。MUTCD（道路交通管理标志统一守则）为整个美国确立了一套指导准则，但鉴于各州可以基于此加以调整，大家便会清楚问题出在哪。我们决定做出妥协，选择最为广泛使用的（即超过50%的使用率）制成交通信号灯并应用于我们的游戏中。

An (un)expected result was that by mass replacement of the old lights, almost every junction and intersection in American Truck Simulator had broken. Lights colliding with other objects, signs and street name signs had also moved to pretty funny places... good times (especially for our map designers who had to fix this mess).

一个（未）预期到的结果是，旧的交通信号灯得到大规模的替换，几乎每个美洲卡车模拟中的交叉路口和十字路口都被修改。与其它物体、交通标志及街道名称标牌发生冲突的交通信号灯移动到相当滑稽的地方... 欢乐的时光（尤其是对修复这一混乱局面的地图设计师来说）。

But in the end, we managed to overcome these issues and with update 1.35, every State (CA, NV, AZ, NM, OR and upcoming WA) will have real unique traffic lights. So that means you can now enjoy even more authentic roads, with more options now available for possible future additions, like the Flashing Yellow Arrow.

不过最终，我们还是成功地解决了这些问题，在1.35版本更新中，每个州（加利福尼亚州、内华达州、亚利桑那州、新墨西哥州、俄勒冈州及即将到来的华盛顿州）将有真实而独特的交通信号灯。所以这意味着大家现可享受到更为真实的道路，并且现在有更多的选择为将来可能的附加内容准备着，例如闪烁的黄色箭头灯。
