geometrical configuration of the junction and the maximum speed allowed through the sections;
but this value can be changed by directly typing the desired value in the ‘Max. speed’ slot. The
‘Auto Reevaluate Speed’ option reevaluates the turning speed automatically whenever there is a
change in the configuration of the junction.
Warnings: The ‘Warnings’ parameter has three options : none, yield, stop. None means no sign,
and yield and stop mean that the given sign is present in the origin lane. The function of these
options is to simulate the corresponding traffic conditioning.
Optional: This is the object's “joker”. It allows for any additional information not included so
far.
Cost Function: The library of cost functions that may have been edited by the user in addition to
the default ones used by the simulator.
Initial: Cost function associated to that statistical arc (statistical arc = lanes of the section from
which the turning is allowed plus turning) and used at the first path calculation at the beginning
of the simulation.
Current: Cost function associated to that statistical arc and used at each path update during the
simulation.
At the Basics folder we can also edit some additional information like the junction’s name and
whether it is a yellow box (yellow box: vehicles have to try not to stop on the junction’s area).

Exercise 4: go to Preferences-Network (E) and select ‘no’ at Distinguish destination lanes in
turnings. Click on the Junction icon of the toolbar. Create the following turnings:
