About accident on the road

[magu1029]

May I know how do you guys deal with accident? Go for an alternate route or just go by road shoulder to pass the police car? It appears latter one is more risky as sometimes you can pass through but sometimes if a helicopter is in the road, you're not able to bypass it. Also, may I know if the road block will be removed if you continue to wait there?

I teleport over it if i can't go round, or just take the detour.

It will not be removed, but you can prevent it from happening in future by moving the "detours" slider in the gameplay options all the way to the left.

What is expected from you in these cases is to open up the map and replot the route and follow the new route. It may cause for a load to be late but there are not serious problems from that. Only loss of some xp and money.

I see, thank you for the inputs, because the GPS rerouting keep redirect me to a lousy route even I placed the "reroute" icon in the map, so in this case I have to plan my route on my own?

[Underscore_101_3]

Are you aware that there are two types of reroute markers, the old one for placing on roads you want to travel on, but since 1.36 or maybe 1.35 there's also an avoid marker option, as in the name you can place them on roads you don't want to travel over.

Ah nice, the "marker" and the "avoid marker" is the exact thing I'm asking for, thanks

Those detours seem fishy to me. The last four of them occured just in the last intersection before a rest spot while I was already driving overdue.

My thoughts exactly, and you get the annoying notification that you are tired, and it takes the whole GPS screen, just when you have to take a turn ^^ I wish the warning was more subtle.

Just TURN OFF THE DETOURS in the game options, its one of the pointless additions that spoil the enjoyment of playing the game.

It would be better if SCS spent time on reworking the AI Traffic and how it responds, rather than wasting time on pointless and meaningless additions like (random events, detours, opening windows) etc.

The last couple of times it has happened to me, it's been on the last, or second to last, junction before my destination, and the only alternative routes available have added 100+ miles to my journey.

Nah, detours are fine by me, they add some challenge at least. Though their timing and placing seems not as random as I thought before.
And it would be nice to add some flavour to them, cause they look kinda similar. Say, a CT episode, with APCs and military guys... or a visible forest fire...

How do you guys deal with it when an accident happens in the ONLY road to access a city, or a place since you cant detour? That happened to me right now so I tried to shoulder pass the firekeepers truck, but I got stucked and I gave been multed by colide with them :(

From the discussion above, it seems no way unless you use a super long alternate route as a workaround
