Title: Traffic Signs / Traffic Lights (Addon for Islands?) - READ BEFORE REPLY!
Post by: TruckLover1337 on March 06, 2013, 13:40
What do I suggest?
-Traffic Lights (If possible)
-Traffic Signs

Where?

Traffic Lights: On Islands
Traffic Signs: Mostly Islands, Can be placed on Mainland to!

Suggestion/The Idea:
Add some custom models to the server (e.g. Traffic Signs / Lights) and put these on islands.
The Traffic Lights can be added so trucks need to stop there on Islands , etc ...
The Traffic Signs can be added for some extra realism.

Suggestions for this Suggestion is welcome in the comment section below.

Thanks,
TruckLover1337

Add traffic lights if you want but no ones gonna stop for them! :D
Just seems like so much effort for nothing, they would like nice though.

They would only make a difference if it became 'law' to obey the signs/lights... Maybe if a fine was added for not stopping? 'You was caught by the camera not stopping for a red light, Fine of $XXX'

This is not Roleplay ... This would make the driving experience not fun ... Imagine having to stop every 200 Meters for a stop sign ...

It isn't ment for 100% roleplay, but it will be nice for the map itself, and some members will obey them,
And stop every 200 meters? Well... The mappers dont need to put stop signs, (well they can add some). But also just some signs so u know what the speed limits are for a car. And maybe arrows (can be textured using photoshop and putted on model? i think) , ....

So i hope this can be added. It will make the islands more 'Special'

Also about the Traffic Lights... If they aren't used it can be used as decoration... If you guys want to use it we can make a law like "Obey traffic lights on Islands or get fined", and on Mainland we just ignore them ;)

It would make the islands more CT. Not like other servers... The islands are already special, but maybe add some signs for extra 'CT' feel. Because no server has this (yet)...

Well, Its already a law to obey speedlimits ;)

-1 to traffic lights

think of it this way... braking wastes fuel and fuel costs money, if truckers stop at lights they will loose time meaning they can't earn as much money as they want... :)

traffic lights are on maps anyways, the default maps have them all over and the added maps dont need them to be clutterfucked with hundred of objects that would only be there for the aesthetics
traffic signs are up already in key areas to know where you are and where places are, to navigate to
traffic lights on islands: see above
traffic signs on islands: already have them

Well, they are already.
This mentality of yours can be clearly seen on Wet County map. In my (and hopefully in many other players') opinion there have to be objects only for aesthetics, otherwise it won't be realistic.

I guess he meant the regular traffic signs, like in the old map. Not like this (http://www.newurbanroswell.com/storage/Oversigned.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1300330820907) on every corner, rather like these. (http://images.wikia.com/gtawiki/images/c/c2/Street_sign_2.jpg)

I say a +1. Maybe lights are not neccessary, but road signs are definitely a way to make the map look more unique.

hes just suggesting to put some more signs/lights in towns/ crucial places.
It doesnt mean you need to stop for them lol, it aint 100% roleplay here on Ct, its just for the scenery/detail and i like that.

I was just clarifying cause some players were suggesting that in the post :P
And just another thing that would make stopping at red lights not work, what if you were a securicar driver being chased by a thief and you had to stop at a red light? they could easily steal, I know you would just go through anyways and get fined but it just wouldn't be practical, and you will get tons of posts in problems and complaints about removing red light fines.

Yeh, First off all if u add traffic lights, don't put fines + If you dont want lights, then do like signs? like these (not these poor "Paint" ones.) (http://images.wikia.com/gtawiki/images/c/c2/Street_sign_2.jpg) & and these (truckpark/cam ones), you can also maybe make some for like Gas stations? & maybe (not shown on image) Names from city's on a sign so u see when u enter/leave citys,etc (http://media.novinky.cz/261/162614-top_foto1-elh3w.jpg).

+1 for synced traffic lights and fining system at crucial areas such as .....

LV intersection...which is the most heavily trafficked area in CT... there are other areas that would do well with this update...


or we could just spread the speed traps... so that all 4 sides need to slow down a bit before entering the intersection.

Yes, but i didn't suggested the fines , Lets stay at normal speedcams for fines :)
Btw, i hate these high speed crashes at LV Intersection

About the traffic signs: Signs at a island like MC with route's to city's,gas station,airport,... (& maybe speed-limits)

Well, we dont need the lights, but signs is good for decoration and a more "finished" look for maps. Now we have only lamps and not signs... Thats not so good, i know this doesn't need to be 100% RP, and we dont need to RP that. But it will look good for the (island-) map(s).
