Wrong Speed Signs?

#1 Post by GxGamer » 20 Aug 2014 18:00

Why are i getting tickets, when iam not driving to fast? This happens in some tunnels, like Paris, Hamburg. Signs show 70, ticket come with 60-70.

Rewritten report to reflect on another issue completely.

AI trucks are speeding in the Paris tunnel, speed limit is 70 for cars and 50 for trucks. AI trucks are following the car speed limits.

Code: Select all

I think it is more like the camera not being set to the right speed as the road section. If you have RA on it will show 50 on the 70 zone, at least in Paris.

Made a report about it in 1.11.1, but I guess nothing has been changed to this version

Not a bug, intended feature...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_limits_in_France
Vehicles over 3.5 metric tons of maximum total weight have lower speed limits. Lorries of more than 12 metric tons (except dangerous goods and trailers that may have lower limits) may not exceed 50 km/h in urban areas (even if the speed limit was raised to 70 km/h)
Game is accurately portraying this fact.
Make sure you go into your game Options > Gameplay > Route Advisor Speed Limit and set it to "Show truck limit" to see the actual limit for your truck.
Conclusion, you were speeding.

Moved to Frequently Asked Questions.

If that is the case then the AI truck is bugged as they are driving in speed of 70 km/h.

Makes more sense.

Code: Select all

When driving on earlier patches you saw a 50/70/90/110 km/h speed signs and that is what speed you drove (well I did :D )
Now, it seems that on the highways which used to be 90 km/h for trucks is now 80 km/h. I understand that if that is the speed you drove in real life, then make it so in the game for realism sake.

BUT... I try to drive without the full GPS most of time so on the on-board GPS it doesn't show the speed and so I rely on the speed signs....

Traveling along at 90 km/h as the road sign says, I get a speeding ticket.

Most streets in cities is 30 km/h but in the RusMap, it is 60 km/h and other cities in Europe is 50 km/h.

Now I am getting more speeding tickets than I ever did before :? --- In fact I am proud of the lack of speeding tickets or crashes I had... when I drove for a VTC, I had a clean record over 100,000 miles (kilometer) driven without a speeding ticket or a crash. In fact, when I saw a 90 km/h speed sign, I actually drove at 80 km/h. A careful woman driver :mrgreen:

Just would love a consistency --- And I understand that different countries might have different speeds in built up areas...

There are special signs at the borders of each nation (or there should be) that explain the different speed limits for that particular country.
This is what they looks like:

They reflect the reality where you are faced with:

That is, you are supposed to know this prior to entering France in a HGV, in real life. (Heavy Goods Vehicle)
For once, the "total realism" people in this game should be exploding from happiness...

Point is, it's complicated in real life too. In some countries you are treated with more "respect" at the borders:

Best solution would be to have the current truck speed limit show on the on-board GPS as well. Or have someone make a mod that keeps the speed limit sign visible but hides the GPS map.
