Toulouse ? that is more troublesome, but still possible.
Its funny how they used the exit that goes to foix-Andorra-Puigcerda for lacq and bayonne. Another fun fact, the A64 that goes to Tarbes-Pau-Bayonne was actually on the right spot in the 1.39 update. They later moved it to the spot where the A66 (Toulouse-Andorra road) is supposed to be. They can still change it.

I just made a delivery to Huelva in Spain, and I came across two strange intersections.

The first intersection I came across was a three way stop. This is very common here in the United States, but I thought these weren't supposed to exist in Europe.

The second intersection I encountered was this one, which is controlled by traffic signals. Despite being a three way intersection, only two of the directions are controlled by signals, which means the one direction of traffic just goes through the intersection, even when the conflicting traffic has a green. Is this a bug? Is there meant to be a signal on the third direction here?

The 1st screenshot, yeah, as IRL as it was in 2016 https://www.google.com/maps/@37.1545821 ... 312!8i6656
2nd? this area https://www.google.com/maps/@37.1932715 ... a=!3m1!1e3 . No regular traffic signals on google maps. But railway crossing has signals. If newer photos somewhere, I haven't found.

Thanks, Shiva. I'll probably write a bug report about the missing traffic signal if one hasn't be written already.

@supersobes, the first one is correct, as there's the railway crossing everybody must stop. As there's no place in front of the railway crossing to stop for vehicles coming from left or right in the upper side of the image. So, they have to stop in their lanes even if they go straight. Although is true that is a rare layout to find here in Spain, specially considering that the had been eliminating same level railway crossings since a lot of years ago. Everywhere when it had been space they have tried to change them by different-level crossings.

The second one lacks a traffic signal, yes.

2nd, is a bit tricky.
I would say that removing the traffic signals and adding railway crossing signals could be the most correct, if checking streetview from 2021 https://www.google.com/maps/@37.1926647 ... 384!8i8192

@Shiva but the problem with the 2nd has nothing about the railway crossing (that almost is out of the screenshot that supersobes posted). The problem is that vehicles coming from left and down have traffic lights when vehicles coming from the right doesn't. So, if down traffic light would be green, nothing stops vehicles from the right to keep going when they should be stopped at a red traffic light. So, either it lacks a traffic light on the right side of the image of all of them should be removed.

The near railway crossing is an extra to the mess, really only if active (most railways of that kind inside port zones aren't functional in the game).

@Some newbie driver Remove all traffic lights I would say.
Regardles if adding or not, railway signals.

BTW, I just finally been able to do the AP7 trip south from Valencia with proper daylight (so far, I managed to do it always at night or with heavy rainfall :() and the work done there by mappers is top notch. It has been lots of years since I drove by there so I would not say if it's a good depiction of IRL; but the scenery in general is very immersive on there. Kudos to the mapping staff who worked on there.
