The SVG code of the previous versions contained 99.99% of mere garbage. For the drawing two pathes are needed; but the file contained 6166 pathes, where 6164 were dummy pathes with lengths of zero (or almost zero). It took a significant amount of time to render all this nonsense.

Just removing the dummy pathes reduced the file from 667 or 671 KB to 5 KB.
But because the drawing had very poor quality, not good arrows, no straight lines and no symmetry, it seemed better to create it new from scratch.

The previous image was drawn with hundreds of cubic Béziers, which is not at all useful - the round structures are much better to get as parts of simple circles. The new drawing consists just of some polygons, and the shapes of circle commands; the direction of traffic is shown by 4 simple arrows. It is now perfect symmetric.

This drawing can be used as an example for the other, monocolored and therefore much simpler icons and .
