Interactive Live Road Map
Fullscreen high-resolution map of San Andreas covering all major motorways. Pan, zoom, and inspect live gantry status with animated flashing indicators.
Matrix Signs Overview
The MTM Highway Matrix Signs system brings realistic, intelligent motorway traffic management to FiveM servers. Designed for emergency services, highway authorities, traffic control centers, and dispatchers, the system replicates real-world overhead highway gantries across the San Andreas motorway network.
Overhead matrix gantries can be controlled in real time through an interactive in-game road map, a dedicated tactical tablet app, or a standalone external Web Control Center with REST API support.
Core System Architecture
Section titled “Core System Architecture”Multi-Gantry Prop Streamer
Distance-based prop streaming engine. Allows any number of gantries across the entire map to be active simultaneously without client memory leaks or frame drops.
Comprehensive Traffic Signals
Independent lane-by-lane control for both carriageways. Supports advisory speeds (10-130 km/h), lane closures (Red Cross), green open lane arrows, hazard warning signs, end of restrictions, and lane merge arrows.
External Web Control & REST API
Decoupled HTTP REST API and standalone web control interface for dispatchers and external CAD/MDT integrations outside the FiveM client.
System Capabilities Breakdown
Section titled “System Capabilities Breakdown”1. High-Performance Multi-Gantry Prop Streaming
Section titled “1. High-Performance Multi-Gantry Prop Streaming”Unlike basic scripts that struggle to render props across vast map distances, the MTM Matrix Signs system features a high-performance, distance-based prop streamer:
- Props stream in seamlessly as vehicles approach at highway speeds and unload automatically when out of range (
Config.RenderDistance = 350.0m). - All active highway configurations are automatically synchronized to server storage (
active_matrix.json). - When the FiveM server restarts or the script reloads, all previously activated highway signs are instantly restored.
2. Comprehensive Traffic Sign Library
Section titled “2. Comprehensive Traffic Sign Library”Each gantry supports independent lane-by-lane configuration for both the left and right carriageways:
- Advisory Speeds:
10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100,110,120, and130km/h. - Lane Control Symbols: Red Cross (lane closure), Green Arrow (open lane), Restriction Clear (end of restrictions), Arrow Left (merge left), and Arrow Right (merge right).
- Hazard & Warning Signs: Traffic Jam (File), Slippery Road / Ice (Glad), Accident (Ongeval), and General Hazard (Uitroepteken).
3. Multi-Interface Operation
Section titled “3. Multi-Interface Operation”Operators can control traffic situations across three different interfaces:
- In-Game NUI Menu: Accessible via
/matrix:menuor the configurableF5keybind. - MTM-PADUI Tablet App: Fully integrated into the virtual iPadOS tablet for on-duty patrol units (Coming Soon).
- Standalone Web Control Center & REST API: Run via browser or dispatch console with full external REST API connectivity.
