One More Realistic Feature (Roads)

[Rocker974]

Please allow roads to deteriorate. Where I live roads are constantly being repaired every 10 years because of the cold. I would like to see that in this game. I don’t know if it’s possible to add since roads are built in blocks and you can’t travel over them during construction but maybe that could change. Allow vehicles to travel over roads being repaired just at cost to speed. If implemented make it a separate option from the rest of the realistic features in case it’s very annoying. Also maybe consider adding rail track repair maintenance as well.

Road repairs - doable, but you need similar system as well. Slower speed of driving through construction sites (lets say mud-road levels) and either alternating vehicle traffic (for bi-directional roads) or just one lane usage (for more lanes of the same-directional road).

Basically you MUST retain access to things like firestation, bus station etc. AT ALL TIME and as these have typically ONE entrance, you absolutely have to account for it.

Ideas:
- slower speed on roads under repair (with all usable lanes still) and just use dumper+people to fix "potholes" (be it asphalt or gravel, doesn´t matter). Add covered hull when lamps are present
- there needs to be a way of "dumping materials on site" to not cockblock traffic
- alternatively close one lane of traffic for a brief moment (alternating traffic) and then find out what to do with one-way single-lane roads
- you can also exlude too-short pieces from maintenance fully if a full closure would require repairs
- you can also do something like a "middle ground" where all roads would require pothole maintenance with dumpers+workers only and only bigger objects (tunnels and bridges) would need more maintenance present (mixers, cranes). But you still would need to let those things opened for both sides, because for example tram bridges ARE a thing

I will ask Peter for it in upcoming interview on my channel if I remember and find a time for it ;)

Sounds good this sounds very interesting I’ll have to check out your channel.

You´re welcome to stop by, though "Sirius Czech" is a channel in, well, Czech :D
If you seek my EN channel, that would be a comrade Sirius :)

It is this one with my main playthrough and some occasional tips and tricks

Don't see that happening as game already fully released unless they add in a dlc

Yeah, will not happen - Peter confirmed himself in interview.
