Broken speed limits.

#1 Post by cliff60 » 31 Mar 2021 21:05

Broken speed limits in Germany. drove from Southampton to bremen. speed in the UK 60MPH. france 56MPH. Beglium 56mph. crossed the border into Germany 37mph (should be 50mph) where it remained even after i drove back out of germany to the UK where it stayed at 37mph till i saved quit restarted and loaded the save and speed went back to normal till i went back to germany when it again dropped to 37mph.
only mod on that profile is a UI minimizer as i play in VR no other mods have ever been put on the profile.. did a trip with my promods profile with 2.52 and speed was fine it didnt drop. tried a new profile with no mods and the same again speed droping to 37mph as soon as i cross the border into Germany. sticking to the speed limit i get late delivery penalties cause im going so slow. go over 37mph and i get a speeding fine. speed limit signs havnt changed they r the same as they were in 1.39. But satnav and hud r showing lower speed limits. AI vehicles crawling along at the lower speed limit as well.
On slip roads joining and leaving the autobahns speed is 50mph but then drops back to 37 as soon as im past the slip roads. AI vehicles going at 35mph blocking all 3 lanes so cant get past them unless i use the hard shoulder to drive around them.

I waited till promods did an update for 1.40 before i played in 1.40 and stayed with 1.39 till then. but played 1.40 in ATS from launch. seems its only the vanilla profile in ETS2 with the speed limit prob in Germany. trip was supposed to take 11 hrs but ended up taking 24 hrs due to the broken speed limit. had to turn off fatigue or i would of had to stop for a 2nd rest period making the trip even longer.

You do know speed limit for trucks on bundestraße in Germany is 60km/h

prior to 1.40 it was 80kmh. its still 80kmh/50mph in promods 2.52 not 37mph/60kph in the vanilla profile.
but that doesnt explain why when i leave germany the speed limit gets locked at 37mph on 60mph roads in the UK if ive come from germany to the UK. also doesnt explain why AI cars that have no speed limit on the autobahns r also going along at 35mph.

also just looked up German truck speed limits and its 80kmh/50mph. not the 60kmh/37mph in 1,40.
The speed limit of 60kmh/37mph is only for trucks with trailors towed behind the main trailor.

You mention two separate issues. That the speed limit doesn't change when crossing a border is most probably a bug. The speed limit algorithms have recently been modified.

The truck speed limit of 60 kph is correct for Germany in some cases.
The rule goes as follows:
- 50 kph inside town limits (marked by yellow board with town name)
- 60 kph on other roads with contraflow
- 80 kph on roads with a permanent divider between directions of travel

im getting 31mph in cities which is correct but all other roads including the autobahns is 37 when it should be 50. the 37 mph speed limit is for double trailors and oversized loads.. But even the AI cars r going along at 35mph on the autobahns when they should be going a lot faster. even at 37mph speed limit im overtaking every other vehicle on the road.
So its effecting AI vehicles as well. car speed limit in most cases on autobahns unless posted is 110 kmh so why r they going at 58kmh/35mph? was running with kmh but speed seemed to low so switched to mph as i know those speeds better to confirm the speed was too low.

FWIW (which is probably not a lot) I am playing completely vanilla and see no problems with the speed limits on German roads. A game log for the problem profile might be useful?

Came across Bremen yesterday and got a speedlimit of 60 km/h on the Highway (Autobahn).
3 Lanes wide and it does not change back to 80 km/h when i change the lane.
i dont know if its because a mod has some strange side effects or if it is because of a update...

mm another update and more speed limit reductions.
UK has dropped from 60Mph to 50MPH. France has dropped from 56 to 50. Belgium has dropped from 56 to 37 luxembourgh has dropped from 56 to 47. didnt go to germany this time just a run from southampton to luxembourg as the update moved my truck back to my HQ. not happy as i just picked up a cargo to take me to Lacq the new french city before saving and going to bed and was planning on doing the trip when i woke up.

with speed limit drops like that all over the map its going to take a lot longer to do deliveries.

Did you solve this issue? Because I'm experiencing the same. Was it the minimal adviser interface for ATS & ETS2 mod?
