daniel_bel did sayeth: "And, there's always the possibility to trade time for a small fine...."
Grimples do sayeth: "there's always the 0 key also.

Moh sayeth: Never had an issue caused by roadworks/Red lights in the faster time scale and delivery times.

If you're driving over 38mph then you're always making up time. Since you're at 50+ most of the time outside of city limits the time loss at RR and road works is negligible.

Thought you talked about Grimples age

[Mohegan13]

When ever Grimples enters a city he feels like a young man again.

Well if you two are lucky you might reach my age

I have my rules: (ETS2 vanilla)
70 km/h on three-lane highways.
65 km/h on two-lanes highways.
55 km/h on standard roads.
45 km/h in city "suburbs"
40 km/h near destination.

It's better for speed perception, reaction time against wild AI cars (hey I'm going to be 70), or two-to-one german exits,
and never got me late on delivery, including red lights, roadworks, T-junction jams, difficult parking choice etc.

Just check the delivery time before accepting jobs... You know what? I generally also check the "forbidden" side roads, yes with the trailer.
Still on time.. It's possible, because it's damn easy.

I wish real driving was so simple.

You should come to the UK where road works take so long that 3 weeks after they finish working the dig the same road up again.

There's a road near my house that get's dug up on a 3 month cycle switching between National Grid and Severn Trent Water,
usually digging up the exact same spot, for no apparent reason other than to dig a whole.

....for no apparent reason other than to dig a whole.

Is that a whole hole, or a part hole?

Sorry. Couldn't resist!

I dont see it as a issuse more like realism, in real life there is long red light because traffic from other side has to clear first, on longer streches htere is even red in both ends for some time to insure no car is "left" in the middle of roadwork when opposite end is driving.
