Traffic Simulator

🎮 How to Play

Welcome to Traffic Simulator! Your job is to manage busy intersections and keep traffic flowing smoothly. Tap or click on traffic lights to change them from red to green, allowing vehicles to pass. Timing is everything—change lights too slowly and cars will pile up, causing frustrating traffic jams. Change them too quickly and you might create a collision! Master the art of timing under pressure to become a traffic management expert. The core gameplay is simple to learn but offers a compelling challenge that will keep you hooked.

🕹️ Controls

The controls for Traffic Simulator are designed for simplicity and quick reactions across all devices.

• Primary Control (All Platforms): Tap or click directly on a traffic light to change its signal.
• Desktop/Keyboard: While the game is primarily mouse-driven, you can often use number keys (1, 2, 3, etc.) to control specific lights for faster reactions as you advance.
• Mobile/Touchscreen: Tap directly on the traffic lights you wish to switch. The game is fully optimized for touchscreen play.

🎯 Objectives

Your main objective is to prevent total gridlock and avoid vehicle collisions for as long as possible. Each car that successfully exits the screen adds to your score, so your short-term goal is to clear traffic efficiently. Your long-term target is to achieve a high score by guiding as many vehicles as possible to their destinations. Success requires quick thinking, strategic planning of light changes, and mastering the art of timing under pressure. How long can you keep the city moving?

💡 Pro Tips

Become a top-tier traffic controller with these expert strategies.

• 🎪 Master the Flow: Don't just tap lights randomly. Observe the flow of traffic and anticipate which lane has the most vehicles building up. Prioritize clearing larger clusters of cars to prevent instant gridlock.
• ⚡ Efficiency is Key: Find a rhythm. Quickly cycling through lights in a set pattern can be less effective than watching and reacting to the traffic. Sometimes letting one light stay green a moment longer to clear a big truck is smarter.
• 💰 Score Maximization: Vehicles that have been waiting longer are worth more points when they finally get to move. While you shouldn't ignore new cars, occasionally relieving a long-waiting vehicle can give your score a nice boost.
• 🏆 Avoid Collisions: This is your top priority! A single crash can end your game instantly. Always ensure an intersection is completely clear before switching a light, and never change a light that will cause two streams of traffic to cross paths.
