[Iberia DLC] Portugal speed limits [KNOWN]

[d4nn]

The highway speed limits in Portugal should be 90km/h instead of 80km/h.

More info here: http://www.imt-ip.pt/sites/IMTT/Portugu ... cidade.pdf and here https://www.acp.pt/viagens-e-lazer/estr ... velocidade

To get it right multiple speed limits should be added to the game. There are speed limits for truck(alone) or truck with semi-trailer, and another for truck with trailer(the case of double trailers or rigids for example).

If it's wrong it's a bug. Can you provide some evidence of the correct real world speed limits?

https://for-driver.info/sk/country-info/Romania.html this link lists all speed limits for trucks in Europe as well.
Yes, I have proof, but I also noticed other errors in speed limits in other countries, for example Bulgaria instead of 80km / h should be 70km / h on county roads, then Norway instead of 80km / h should be 90km / h on highways, then Romania instead 100km / h should be 80km / h on motorways, and the mentioned Portugal instead of 80km / h should be 90km / h on motorways, all these speed limits apply to trucks

About Romania:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_limits_in_Romania
This one says 100 when on motorways/freeways/controlled-access highways and 80 when on expressways/limit-access highways.

And afaik, Romania freeways have got the 100 speed limit right now. I just can't remember an expressway in Romania.

You have to consider that IRL there are different speed limits for trucks with and without trailers. The speed limit of 80 km/h is the correct value for the truck with the trailer.

No it is not. The speed limit of 80km/h only applies to rigid trucks (think Volvo FL) with a trailer. The ones in the game (tractor + semi-trailer) are limited to 90km/h.

You can check in http://www.imt-ip.pt/sites/IMTT/Portugu ... cidade.pdf (oficial document, IMT is like Portuguese road governance) or https://www.acp.pt/viagens-e-lazer/estr ... velocidade

This is just something that was lost in translation. Let's take a look:

Automóveis pesados de mercadorias sem reboque ou com semi-reboque o limite de
velocidade é de:
– 50 km/h dentro das localidades
– 90 km/h em auto-estrada
– 80 km/h em vias reservadas a automóveis e motociclos
– 80 km/h nas restantes vias públicas;

Heavy goods vehicles without trailer or with semi-trailer (Google semi-reboque if you have doubts)

One of these (Automóveis pesados de mercadorias sem reboque)

Or one of these (Automóveis pesados de mercadorias com semi-reboque)

Now, what SCS used was this:

Automóveis pesados de mercadorias com reboque o limite de velocidade é de:
– 40 km/h dentro das localidades
– 80 km/h em auto-estrada
– 70 km/h em vias reservadas a automóveis e motociclos
– 70 km/h nas restantes vias públicas.

One of these ( Automóveis pesados de mercadorias com reboque)

So the speed limit is actually wrong, otherwise I wouldn't seem them everyday on the road driving at 90km/h in Portugal.

Please kindly check the post above

[xXCARL1992Xx]

why do you contradict yourself ?

[ external image ]

there it is clearly written, Heavy Goods Vehicle, No Trailer or Semi Trailer, 90km/h on Highways and 80km/h on roads reserved for Cars and Motorcycles

With Trailer, 80km/h on Highways and 70km/h on roads reserved for Cars and Motorcycles

and this from a link provided by YOU

[xyzan]

What actually this means?
on roads reserved for Cars and Motorcycles

I think this may be a clue.

[mackintosh]

Surely SCS aren't this incompetent? Getting this wrong would suggest they have failed at basic research.

@xyzan Think of our "droga ekspresowa". It uses the same sign, I assume it's the same thing.
