Simple deployable traffic lights that can be interacted with to control the flow of AI traffic.
This is an addon for Waypoint Placeables, using it’s logic for placing and picking up the objects.
The traffic light menu allows players to control the traffic light using the following options: Green, Red, Yellow Flashing, and Race Start lights.
Players can get creative and use the traffic lights in a number of ways. Some examples include:
- Police DUI checkpoints
- Construction crews controlling traffic
- Traffic control at events
- Using the “Race Start” mode for the countdown for drag races
Multiple traffic lights can be placed and operated at the same time. Updates to the traffic lights are synced between all players.
This script is based off of Smallos xnTrafficLights.

- You can also use
- Select the “Set stopping point” option
- Choose the point where you want traffic to stop.
- Change the radius of the stopping point using the mouse wheel up/down (configurable)
