Development on version 2.x (Northern Scandinavia)

What happens if you hit one of those poles with your truck?

[LoaderSaints]

I have no new progress to show, instead I want to show you a new small but important detail, all credits to plykkegaard for making the model.

For those of you wondering, these are called "snökäppar" in Swedish and are meant to be visable through the snow as an indicator of where the road goes, especially for plowing.

Ah, those things are so familiar. And yes those things are very common in Finland too (during the winter of course). For us Finns one of those is known as aurausviitta.

What happens if the snow reaches half the height or top of the pole?

[Bramzel]

Great detail, unmissable in Sweden!

You'll knock it over

What happens if the snow reaches half the height or top of the pole?

Then you better have a 4x4 or plenty of food in the basement

Probably they could a bit higher on some roads this stick has the hight like truck . If you know what i mean

[Bramzel]

I've lived in Sweden for 2 years and I've never seen them higher than that really. Don't forget that after the first snowfall the roads will be 'wiped', and the snowdunes on the sides will take over the function of the poles.

Well, i have lived 3 years in Haparanda and i have seen them in there.

Also, the Swedish snowpoles are not red and white but yellow and white as i have seen. Where i have seen that is on Rv95 between Norway-Sweden border to Skellefteå.

Well, it is only like that from Graddis at the Norway-Sweden border to Jäkkvik. It is yellow and white because the road is over a mountain range that has extreme snowfall so it needs to be really visible. The yellow colour is like a reflex-vest.

Ahahhahahahahhahah Bramzel, that was a good one. xD

I actually wanted to know if there's some kind of special procedure (eg. closing the road down due to life hazard) if the snow reaches a certain height of the pole. Or is it just for drivers to know that "huh, there's a lot of snow, better drive safe" thing.

I always thought that those poles are only for night visibility for those dark autumn nights when snow has not fallen yet. Finland has those also.
