Development on version 1.x (Current Map Improvements)

Yup perfectly understandable... however to take this coastal road you will have to drive through Zwijndrecht with some shitty traffic lights and it will defo cost more time

It reminded me, that some places have alternative traffic lights for public transport or colorblind. I have seen these in Tallinn, as example Pärnu mnt and Liivalaia crossing. It would be cool suprise in some places.
These lights usually have "S" instead of red, "-" for yellow and "|" for green and have white text on black.

EDIT: Checked up for it: Public vehicle traffic lights are used only for vehicles with limited moveability such as trams, so it's pointless in ETS2.

I thought it was supposed to be realistic ?
In Belgium by LAW the signs may only be in the language of the region you're driving through.

That's the reason why if you drive around the ring of Brussels, you see sometimes signs in Dutch and sometimes in French: it's because sometimes the ring passes a dutch commune and sometimes a French. I sometimes wondered how these international truckers who probably only have the delivery address in one language, don't get confused, I guess GPS is universal

Language is a very sensitive topic in this small country

I don't know if it's possible or necessary to be 100% correct in a game like ETS2, but I think it should be consistent. On the E42(*), e.g. there are signs which are either in the Brabant Wallon, Namur or Liège provinces (difficult to tell), which read Liège/Keulen, which is clearly wrong because, as you say, there are few if any bilingual road signs here. What's even more perplexing is SCS managed to get it right coming from the German side. There the signs read Köln/Luttig/(Liège), so why they didn't put Liège/Cologne/(Köln) on our side is beyond me.

(*) Rem.: it's just occurred to me the road from France, through Belgium to Liège they were trying to model is the Mons - Charleroi - Liège one. That may be the E42, I don't know. Exactly why they'd only connect Brussels and Liège to it (as both are only vaguely connected to it and nobody takes that road to go from Brussels to Liège) instead of the towns which are actually associated with it is puzzling.

I was already wondering. It sounded like you were describing traffic lights that are used in germany for trams and busses lol

seems like other countries use them too

Near Stordabrua:
The black lines are new roads.
The toll station is gone .
Could you rebuild this area? - the current one in the map is not realistic.

Hi Antwerp-builders,

Are you planning to include the Berendrecht-Lock (and Zandvliet-Lock) (biggest locks in the world)?
Maybe it's possible to make the Scheldelaan between exit 11 (on the A12) and exit 12 between the Liefenshoektunnel and Tijsmanstunnel (on the R2).

What about the E313 and E314? It's one of the main roads for trucks and a missing link between Germany and Brussels (and Antwerp).

Regardless of the answer, I'm happy that the port of Antwerp will be included in ETS2. Still don't know why SCS cancelled Antwerp.

The road layout on page 40 shows that the Scheldelaan included. I doubt there is space for the locks though.

Some more updates

[Volvofahrer 26]

great


Nico is the Mc donalds some kind of rest area?

[JurianPaulussen]

Volvofahrer I though it was a cargo loading place but I'm not really sure.
Volvofahrer ich dachte das es ein Ladeplatz war, aber ich weiß es nicht sicher.

and for the pictures, they are nice! I think its near Aalsmeer, Utrecht or Zwolle??
