Romania pre-research tips

[orizon]

That's why I highly recommended both roads because are quite spectacular.

If the developers will request some help, or point it out which locations they need information, we can bring more useful details, like industry, routes, POI's, etc.

New suspended roundabout over A4 (Poiana interchange). It will be ready until the end of the year. If is necessary, I will keep update with the status of development.

Its important to mention, since this is a game about long haul driving, one of the most important, and easily overlooked (by those who havent worked with a truck or driven these parts) transit route of Romania.

Day by day, trucks traveling to and from Greece, Bulgaria, and Turkey use this route as the easiest mainland route into northern Europe (since Serbia and North Macedonia require a TIR carnet).
This route starts as soon as the trucks are done with crossing the border from bulgaria (through the vidin bridge)

Then it goes through Maglavit, then Vânju Mare, A village with a well known truckstop, that has a water tower in its premises which is well vesible from far away.

Then continues on to the area of Drobeta-Turnu Severin, in which the road goes between the Danube river and the mountains making for quite a beautiful sight

After that it goes on towards Caransebeş, and the road gets a bit more difficult, with tight curvy mountainroads, forests and valleys next to the road, this road section is quite beautiful and challenging, especially for those who drive with a manual transmission, with frequent and accurate shifts required.

Then it goes through Lugoj, and from there follows the highway to Timisoara, then Arad, and finaly to the Hungaria border at Nădlac/Nagylak.
Its important to mention here that there are TWO border crossings! One is for regular trucks, which is on the highway, and the other one is for special trucks, Refrigerated, Livestock Transport, ADR transport, Live plant transport and Oversize/Special transport.

Based by the latest pictures from the site it seems that the part of A1 (Deva-Ilia-Holdea) which is under construction right now, will not be in the game, even it will be open in a month. If SCS will decide to build it, I leave this videos for a future development.

Hey guys, long time no see

We are really grateful for all the tips, suggestions and researches. It helped us to create things we couldn't think of on our own and also to find solution to problems we had to begin with.


If you guys are up for it, now we would need something more specific. We need more references for road events, that means crashes, road repairs, people caught speeding or anything similar that you would see when driving down the road.
These things are not too easy to find, and we need to be sure it's from Romania, so not just any random image will do. Something found on google streetview would be perfect, for the simple reason that we can see the thing from multiple angles.
Thanks to anyone in advance who will join the search [ external image ]

Something like this?

Yes, this is great example.

The Google car just happened to passby when one of the Buzau's bridges over the Buzau river was closed for consolidation. So all the traffic on the E85 route was diverted to the other 2 lane bridge:

Lots of road signs and bollards used and there's also some temporary traffic lights.
