It really helps.\n\n![driveOnRight.png](\/\/\/raw\/7fb\/02\/z\/71cdb.png)\n\n## Controls\n- Click on an individual traffic light (i.e. one direction in an intersection) to toggle the light between green and red.\n- Click the middle of an intersection to toggle between locked and unlocked.  Locked intersections do not change automatically, but angry drivers ignore lights if left waiting for too long.\n\n## Car behaviour\n- Ordinary cars follow road rules and try to reach their destination.  They will try to avoid crashes.\n- Drunk cars drive erratically, do not try to avoid other cars, and will ignore traffic lights.\n- Emergency services (police, fire, ambulance) go through traffic lights and mostly avoid crashing.\n- Cars of a particular colour will try to get home to the corresponding coloured house.\n- Sometimes cars will attempt to pick up a late night snack on their way home.","title":"Traffic Control Publican","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/430001+430002+430003+430004+430005+430006+430007+430008+430009+430010+430011+430012+430013+430014+430015+430016+430017+430018+430019+430020+430021+430022+430023+430024+430025+430026+430027+430028+430029+430030+430031+430032+430033+430034+430035+430036+430037+430038+430039+430040+430041+430042+430043+430044+430045+430046+430047+430048+430049+430050+430051+430052+430053+430054+430055+430056+430057+430058+430059+430060+430061+430062+430063+430064+430065+430066+430067+430068+430069+430070+430071+430072+430073+430074+430075+430076+430077+430078+430079+430080+430081+430082+430083+430084+430085+430086+430087+430088+430089+430090+430091+430092+430093+430094+430095+430096+430097+430098+430099+430100+430101+430102+430103+430104+430105+430106+430107+430108+430109+430110+430111+430112+430113+430114+430115+430116+430117+430118+430119+430120+430121+430122+430123+430124+430125+430126+430127+430128+430129+430130+430131+430132+430133+430134+430135+430136+430137+430138+430139+430140+430141+430142+430143+430144+430145+430146+430147+430148+430149+430150+430151+430152+430153+430154+430155+430156+430157+430158+430159+430160+430161+430162+430163+430164+430165+430166+430167+430168+430169+430170+430171+430172+430173+430174+430175+430176+430177+430178+430179+430180+430181+430182+430183+430184+430185+430186+430187+430188+430189+430190+430191+430192+430193+430194+430195+430196+430197+430198+430199+430200+430201+430202+430203+430204+430205+430206+430207+430208+430209+430210+430211+430212+430213+430214+430215+430216+430217+430218+430219+430220+430221+430222+430223+430224+430225+430226+430227+430228+430229+430230+430231+430232+430233+430234+430235+430236+430237+430238+430239+430240+430241+430242+430243+430244+430245+430246+430247+430248+430249+430250+430251+430252+430253+430254+430255+430256+430257+430258+430259+430260+430261+430262+430263+430264+430265+430266+430267+430268+430269+430270+430271+430272+430273+430274+430275+430276+430277+430278+430279+430280+430281+430282+430283+430284+430285+430286+430287+430288+430289+430290+430291+430292+430293+430294+430295+430296+430297+430298+430299+430300+430301+430302+430303+430304+430305+430306+430307+430308+430309+430310+430311+430312+430313+430314+430315+430316+430317+430318+430319+430320+430321+430322+430323+430324+430325+430326+430327+430328+430329+430330+430331+430332+430333+430334+430335+430336+430337+430338+430339+430340+430341+430342+430343+430344+430345+430346+430347+430348+430349+430350+430351+430352+430353+430354+430355+430356+430357+430358+430359+430360+430361+430362+430363+430364+430365+430366+430367+430368+430369+430370+430371+430372+430373+430374+430375+430376+430377+430378+430379+430380+430381+430382+430383+430384+430385+430386+430387+430388+430389+430390+430391+430392+430393+430394+430395+430396+430397+430398+430399+430400+430401+430402+430403+430404+430405+430406+430407+430408+430409+430410+430411+430412+430413+430414+430415+430416+430417+430418+430419+430420+430421+430422+430423+430424+430425+430426+430427+430428+430429+430430+430431+430432+430433+430434+430435+430436+430437+430438+430439+430440+430441+430442+430443+430444+430445+430446+430447+430448+430449+430450+430451+430452+430453+430454+430455+430456+430457+430458+430459+430460+430461+430462+430463+430464+430465+430466+430467+430468+430469+430470+430471+430472+430473+430474+430475+430476+430477+430478+430479+430480+430481+430482+430483+430484+430485+430486+430487+430488+430489+430490+430491+430492+430493+430494+430495+430496+430497+430498+430499+430500?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/e0\/e021762650b5b4c34064138a85e511ed7b192ab5aa78e47c67aeb817a48d8716","record":"shard-3\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/2a254a280dc94d4f31c7f4a8464e4aede50cdb0dd3bc7e6732dc7f02d177856f.json","sha256":"e021762650b5b4c34064138a85e511ed7b192ab5aa78e47c67aeb817a48d8716","source":"https","stored_at":1784022519}}
