One more landing can beat your high score. Simple to learn. Difficult to master. NEW: Daily Dispatch Take on one official challenge every day.

You run the traffic lights. The cars never crash. Every bit of pressure comes from queues and gridlock — so this is a game of timing and judgment, not driving or reflexes. Calm to look at. Tense to play. Tap an intersection to switch its signal. Keep traffic flowing, clear the target before the bell, and earn 1, 2, or 3 stars. Let a junction jam and it's gridlock — start over. WHAT'S INSIDE • 50 hand-built levels across themed acts, each with a star rating and a difficulty grade • Many distinct map types: city grids, roundabouts, a bridge chokepoint over a river, one-way couplets, a grand boulevard, Y-merges, a diamond loop, arterial spines, and twin roundabouts • Tidal rush: traffic pours inbound, then reverses outbound mid-level, so the best plan keeps changing • Green-wave combo multiplier for keeping cars moving without stops • Daily Challenge — the same run worldwide each day — with a streak to defend • Free Play: endless mode with high scores and the odd breakdown to manage • Easy, Normal, and Hard difficulty • A real vehicle mix — cars, trucks, buses — plus emergency vehicles to wave through • AUTO mode: hand a signal over to the game once you've earned it • Game Center leaderboards and achievements CALM AND CONSIDERATE • One-handed, portrait, fully offline — no account, no sign-up • Colorblind signal palette and a reduce flashing & motion option Free to play. A single one-time Remove Ads purchase clears every ad for good. Ads served via Google AdMob. Outsmart the rush. Keep the city moving.
