### [A/B Street][abstreet]

[A/B Street][abstreet] is a traffic simulation game exploring how small changes
to roads affect cyclists, transit users, pedestrians, and drivers. Any city
with OpenStreetMap coverage can be used!

Some of this month's updates:

- Multiple traffic signals can be edited together.
- An [API][abstreet-api] and tools were added, to control maps and simulation
from any language.
- [Michael Kirk][mkirk], a new team member, fixed HiDPI scaling issues in a
consistent way.
- Many new cities imported, with better support for countries that drive on the
left and support for using alternate languages from OpenStreetMap for roads
and buildings.
- Backwards compatibility for a player's edits to the map.
- Two-way cycletracks and roads with multiple direction changes.
