What happens if we pass a red signal? Will ATB stop the tram? Or we got penalty fares, as in real life?

Penalty fares? If you pass trough a red light, you could get a fine by the police, yes. Or loose your drivers licence pending an investigation (after all; you are responsible to all the passengers).

The ATB will stop the tram if you pass into a junction when a path has not been set. And yes, the intersections which are also junctions (Bathurst Street and Lower Spadina Avenue) are signalized, so if you pass trough red there, you will be stopped.
The signals at the other intersections (like the one in the screenshot in my last post) are mainly controlled using the system the crossings use on the Sneltram-parts of Simvliet (line B) and Rijndam (line M2/M3); via detectors. Those are not actively enforced by the ATB.

Thanks for the explanation. ;)

Welp, first thing I'm going to do is "discover" some ATSs and VRIs from underneath the traffic signals. :lol:

How do you like this ATS.... :D

You won't find it on Google Streetview, as it is pretty new in reality too.

Keeping road vehicles out the tram tunnel I see? Good thinking. [I did not read the bottom :lol:] Realistically, that's not a bad idea in my opinion. ;)

Wow! Thats great, so this works like a Level Crossing on the 'Sneltram' part, like the M2 and M3 Westplein > Rijnland ZKH/Monument

Are these barriers activated automatically? Or do we have to manage it through CVL?
