TRAFFIC CONTROL

Traffic is a "Time-Management Intersection Simulator" that focuses on Flow Control and Queue Theory. This title places the player in the role of a traffic controller at a busy four-way junction. It emphasizes "Collision Prevention" over speed. It is a game of "Patience and Observation," where the player must manually start and stop streams of vehicles to ensure that the "Congestion Meter" doesn't overflow while preventing catastrophic T-bone collisions.

Tap on individual cars to make them "Sprint" through the intersection, or tap traffic lights to change their state. The gameplay is a Crisis Management challenge: cars arrive from all four directions. You must find "Gaps" in the cross-traffic to let vehicles through. If cars wait too long, their "Frustration Icon" turns red; if the intersection clogs up completely, the level fails. You must successfully pass a specific number of cars to advance.

High scores are dictated by Flow Efficiency. Passing cars in "Bunches" (letting 5 cars from the same lane go at once) grants a "Conductor Bonus." The pro secret is "Prioritization"—letting the faster sports cars through first so they don't get stuck behind slow trucks, which keeps the "Average Speed" of the intersection high. Achieving a "Zero-Accident" week in-game yields a "Safety Inspector" multiplier.
