TM:PE 11.9.1.0 STABLE (Traffic Manager: President Edition)

Inquiry for a potential extended functionality.
I have enjoyed the convenience TM:PE has brought to me during these hundreds of hours of CS1 experience. A Big Thank You for every developer.

However, I want to know if it is possible to implement a lane-specific traffic light management. The reason behind this is that, while setting up a traffic signal for a left-turn-lanes-left-shifting junction before a CFI junction, I found it impossible to have the going straight and left-shifting traffic separated since all those lanes are categorized into straight traffic.
(I know having a separate road for the left-shifting lanes to actually make "left turn" for the shift would solve the problem. But, I do not wish to have the junction take way too much land.)

To make it visual, I the road layout before and after the junction are:
.|, '|`'|` .|,.|, '|`'|` '|`

.|, .|,.|, '|`'|` '|`'|` '|`

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

The problem is I cannot let lane 1 and lane 6-8 (going straight) have green light on when letting lane 2&3 have red light on or when letting lane 4&5 have red light on.

My thoughts for the solution is to have a lane-specific traffic light set-up functionality. Please help me know if it is possible to be implemented. Thanks a lot.

@TAQ-e - If I understand you correctly, you are asking if it is possible to actually set up a specified turn signal for the lanes? If so, then...yes, it actually is possible to do so. You have to choose the option by selecting the light configuration itself when setting it up. Does that make sense?

In regards to explanation, here are a couple of tutorials that should help you. Even though they are older vids, they still explain how it works. Nothing changed from then, especially they way the time traffic lights work. :D
