Accessibility Notes
If you are on a top score, you can opt to continue if you fail, although this is limited by the number of coins you have won or purchased. When you fail you keep all the coin progress you have made to that point.
The game provides audio cues for different events. Such as large volume of traffic, impatient drivers and traffic event. When cars honk their horns the driver icon changes colour to indicate this visually. For the vehicles that don't stop, you get a visual sign and an audio cue about what type of vehicle.
You can turn off the 3D camera motion effect to ease motion sickness. The colour of fast cars are always red, however the fast cars are always depicted as sports cars. You can turn off the drivers of the cars being flung from vehicles, however your main character can still get hit and fall to the ground, prone and not moving.

Reading
We've documented 4 accessibility features for Reading in Mr Traffic which deal with how much reading or listening comprehension is required, how well the game provides visual and audible access to the text and whether subtitles and captions are a good fit for purpose.
Reading Level
How much reading is required to play the game's main path or story and how complex the language is. The presence of voiced characters doesn't reduce this requirement, as it's recorded as a separate datapoint.
No Reading: No reading is required, other than simple menus. The game either has no text or can communicate textual content with visuals and interactions. If reading isn't required because the text is voiced the All Dialogue is Voiced feature indicates this.
Text Visibility
High Contrast Text: Text colour contrasts to the background or can be adjusted to be. The text in menus, instructions and other information is presented in high contrast with a solid background.
Subtitles
All Speech Subtitled (Or No Speech In Game): All spoken content has subtitles, or there is no speech in the game. This means there is no requirement to hear spoken dialogue or narrative to play the game.
Voice Acted
All Dialogue is Voice Acted (Or No Speech In Game): All of the game dialogue and narrative can be voiced, or there is no speech in the game. This means there is no requirement to read the dialogue and narrative text to play the game.

Visual Distractions

No Busy Backgrounds: No distracting backgrounds or you can make them static or blank. This includes the absence of other movement elements in the background that might distract or confuse the action. Where foreground contrast is high, this includes games with some movement in the background that doesn't make it overly difficult to distinguish what is happening.
Audio Cues for Visual Events
Audio Cues for Visual Events: Audio is provided to indicate visual events. Game events or progress highlighted by visual icons, effects or animations are also accompanied by audio to signify that progress. This is useful for blind players.
