Just a teaser of coming development near Antwerpen as you might be able to see


We will make sure that all looks alittle more dirty here

What do you mean? -everything is squeaky clean here. Apart from the city itself, of course, which is basically a populated landfill, and the chemical plants leaking all sorts of shit into the air. And we have one of the worst smog particle problems in Europe. But, apart from that, everything is fine here.

Wow, that looks so awesome!!! I really like the details like the "Samen naar 0 verkeersdoden" plate. Wich means, for the people that doesn't understand Dutch, : Together to zero traffic casualties! I love it!!!

We have some more signs of the go for zero campaing.

Now we just need this merging sign added to ETS2


oh just for the ppl who don't speak Dutch: This is really funny to say it like that, only belgian ppl will do that

[RoadRageDude]

lol what does the sign mean in english?

[jdenm8]

I love the not-so-subtle stab at the AI there

Google translation:
ZIPPER = SMOOTH and COURTEOUS

[NokiaSpecialist]

That's a very litteral translation indeed.
Basically it means if two lanes merge, and you're driving on the lane that will disappear, that you should drive untill the end of that lane before merging, when the traffic on the other lane is slowed down. The other lane should also allow people from the disappearing lane to merge in (car per car).

Hope you understand this ? To me it's common sense, but in Belgium it was quiet a problem, that was why this campaign started.

[Nico]

Well that is how the merging works...

What the sign says is basically what jdenm8 said...

That is why we Dutch people always need to laugh that hard about this :p


FYI dutch and belgians prank eachother because of their languages :p

[NokiaSpecialist]

FYI 2: Nico is speaking about dutch, and dutch speaking people in Belgium (aka Flemish people)..
Don't forget that about 40% in Belgium is speaking French.

[mikoair]

Oh, nice, that is similar in our region Polish ppl laugh at Czech language and Czech ppl laugh at Polish language

[Nico]

We don't just laugh

And yeah true NokiaSpecialist but the French ppl are so far away that we just forget them

Here Belgian people are the Flemish ones... the rest is just something else
