Trigger to remove civilian traffic

[Gunfreak]

So it's nice to have civ traffic on, in the cities, so they don't look so empty, but it looks really stupid when they just drive straight through a roadblock you've setup. Is there a trigger where any civ vehicle that goes into a trigger zone just disappears?

No, traffic currently can't be manipulated.

This has been requested and wished for many times.

I'm glad I found this cause I was going to ask the same question. Really weird when they drive straight through a M-ATV and 4 people Lol Need a true roadblock option.

It gets even worse should you land a helicopter on a street: even though vehicles do drive through ground units, they smash up a helicopter. So if you are creating a rescue scenario, turn off road traffic, or designate the LZ far away from roads.

Rather than removing civil traffic, I’d prefer a special static object that one could place onto a road, which would make vehicles reverse direction … this would give missions designers the means to isolate arbitrary sections of roads from civ traffic, to implement our own roadbases.

Semi-related:

When removing civilian traffic from a mission, it only removes the visuals. The traffic noise is still there. 

I built a Vietnam mission with a FARP on a road for the OV-10 and you can sit in the OV-10 or helo at that base and listen to the ghost traffic zooming past.
