The Formosa Traffic System is a set of rules that govern roadway usage inside cities, that are not under the jurisdiction of the MRT national government.
Roadway Standards
Roadways compliant with FTS standards must include all of the following:
Lanes
- Each lane is at least 2 blocks wide
- At least one yellow solid or striped line dividing bidirectional roads AND/OR a clearly defined median dividing the bidirectional road
- Solid or striped white lines serving as same-direction lane dividers
- Reversible lanes are marked with striped yellow lines on either side, with either a signal indicating the current direction OR signs indicating the direction at certain times
- Two-lane bidirectional roads that allow passing are marked with a striped yellow line OR a solid yellow line adjacent to a striped yellow line
- Center left turn lanes are marked on either side with a solid yellow line on the outside and a striped yellow line on the inside
Intersections
- Roads have solid white stop lines placed before the intersection, and runs the width of the side of the road entering the intersection
- Intersections have either stop signs, yield signs, traffic lights, or traffic circles
- Marked pedestrian crossing if sidewalks exist on either side of the road
Railroad Crossings
- At the point of crossing, the road must be level with the top of the tracks
- If uCars are used on the road, some way to allow the uCar to cross the tracks effectively must be present
- Signs indicating a railroad crossing before and at the crossing OR train warning systems at the crossing must be present
All other standards are at the discretion of the town/city's roadway administration.
Driving Standards
Drivers utilizing the road must be compliant with all of the following standards:
Standard Driving
- Vehicle remains within the lane marked out by lane markings, sidewalks, and/or roadside markings
- Intersections must not be blocked at any time
- Turns may only occur where there is no solid yellow line, no no-turn sign, and when it is safe to do so
- Lane changing is discouraged when there are solid white lines
- Passing may occur on two-lane bidirectional roads only when either the yellow line is striped OR has a solid yellow line on the far side and a striped yellow line on the near side
- Center left turn lanes may only be used for turning left from and onto the road, never for passing or regular driving in
Other vehicles
- Right-of-way at intersections apply at all times
- Emergency vehicles with sirens on always have right-of-way
- Trains always have right-of-way regardless of traffic control systems, UNLESS it is a street-level light rail in compliance with roadway traffic control systems
Road Conditions
- Roads may not be driven on by non-authorized vehicles when there is flooding or snowfall over 2 meters.
- Low visibility conditions will lower the speed limits
