assigned in the list below. The list is
edited by the NEW, EDIT and DELETE
buttons. All vehicles of a class for
which a time distribution is defined
will stop for a certain time out of the
corresponding distribution.
If no time distribution is selected,
the dwell time will be one time step.

6.6.3.3 Right Turn On Red
Stop signs are also used to model right-turn-on-red movements using the
option Only on Red. In that case, the stop sign is active only if the
associated signal controller phase displays red. There are two scenarios
where right turn on red can be modeled:
► An exclusive right turn lane:
A stop sign (with Only on Red) needs to be placed on that lane. It
might be advisable to additionally place a signal head in this lane and
select a vehicle type like Tram or Pedestrian so that the vehicles on the
lane will not be affected by it but the state of the signal will be visible.
► A combination of through and right turn lane:
A stop sign (with Only on Red) needs to be placed on the right-turn
connector only. That way turning vehicles only will see the stop sign. The
signal head is placed in the same location but on the link rather than the
connector. The signal head will control the through movements.
