Consider bringing back the Version 6 style of showing signal heads.

Having a single signal indication on the near side of an intersection (with left/right turn arrows below) makes it infinitely easier to check whether a complex phasing sequence was coded correctly, check progression along a corridor etc. The tiny far-side heads for each individual lane in Version 7 are difficult to see, always seem to default to a tiny size, tend to overlap on skewed appoaches, don't always seem to line up with the correct lane, don't show any indication for certain approach configurations...I understand the Version 7 way of showing them is needed for the Studio component, but it is not as user-friendly as the previous version.

I prefer the signal heads in version 7 then version 6. They are more realistic on the far side of the intersection.

However, I do find myself increasing the size of the heads to make them easier to see. They also display "all-black" for some complex phasing which can be frustrating!
