What's the scale of buildings?

Hello everybody,

I want to create a truckstop for ETS2 with fuelstation. I know that areas like companies, truckstops and other like that are in 1:3 scale. Will that be the same for buildings? As even cities and their buildings are this scale?
What is with the buildings, wich stand alone in the landscape with no use, where the 1:19 scale is? :?: :?: :?:

Thanks for help :P BigWhiteLion

It's not like people sit there with a ruler and measure everything they're doing to perfectly match a given scale. This is rather a rough orientation to give an idea of how much space for which kind of content is necessary.
You rather think about what your feature (In this case the truckstop) should contain as a whole and if and how it can fit with the scale. In the end it's often more important that it "feels" right, rather not that it's done in in 1:3 or 1:5 or whatever.
