SimCity 4 is not an "agent-based" game where each object you see on a road represents one "item" in the simulation. Automata are only a visual approximation of what is happening in the underlying traffic simulation and maintain only a loose correlation to the actual statistical measures of the simulation. As such, any of the changes made to the Automata settings do not actually change any functional aspects of a network's capacity, speed, or commute attributes. Automata, being generated as a representation of statistical data, also may be prone to bizarre behavior that would defy real-world traffic logic. Due to the nature of how they are programmed, this is not something the NAM Team can address.
