If you answered B, you are the problem. Legally, the driver on the ramp has to stop and yield to traffic on the C-D road because he has a yield sign (two, in fact!) and therefore must wait for a large enough clearing in traffic to make his turn safely. Depending on traffic conditions, this may be a quick wait or it may take a while. For reference's sake, I drive a semi as a job in real life and I've been forced to wait 5+ minutes for a large enough gap in traffic to safely make a turn out of a customer's yard. It's not fun but it's part of the job. Sometimes traffic is slow enough (due to congestion or a traffic light) that other drivers can give me a big enough clearing to allow me to turn without disrupting the traffic flow.
I think it's up to the driver to decide when it might be appropriate to give way to traffic from a side road.
Obviously, everyone needs to get from point A to B (unless we also count the people driving up and down C-D to rec ban people for a living). And if someone chooses to give way to a driver from the side road, well nice for the other driver because waiting can be frustrating, but it's also on the driver giving way if a collision occurs. But it is also the responsibility of yourself and other drivers in that situation to make sure that you do your best to avoid a collision. I see too many people carry on driving at insane speeds when they've got a lot of time to slow down and claim they haven't done anything wrong when in fact they didn't even consider hitting the brakes.
My personal take is... If the situation allows it (i.e. it's not too busy), then they can give way to the driver if they want to. Obviously not everyone is obligated to follow rules and consequences may occur anyway but just let them be.

I can't see a reason, why players should be limited with reports can send in-game. As far as I know, if Game Moderator does not look at currect report within 10-15 min, report will automatically get deleted
It's true that it gets deleted but then I'm certain the in-game reports usually clog up very quickly that Game Moderators may not be able to see all the reports. The thing is that if there is a limit set to the amount of reports a player can create, then it might reduce the high in-game reporting system load.
If I could put out a suggestion: Once a report has been submitted, the report limit will reduce by 1. If it's accepted, report limit will increase by 1. If it's declined, the report limit stays the same. If the report times out, their report limit increased back by 1 again. Report limits cannot go higher than 10.
For example: Person A reports Person B, and Person A has a report limit of 10. Once they've submitted the report, they can send 9 reports. If the report gets accepted, their limit bumps back up to 10 reports. If declined, it will stay at 9 reports. If timed out, their report limit bumps back to 10.

Oop I'm a bit late to this boat.
I personally think this change is very promising. The amount of effort people go through to ensure that everyone around them in the server gets punished for something trivial is amazing, and I wonder where they get that energy from. And I think the sort of people that live to just shout "REC BAN" for something very trivial are the same sort of people that drive as recklessly as possible, overtaking everyone at bends or on terrain, zooming around bends at 110km/h while being literally at the other side of the road. I really hope the rec banning culture could be put to a partial stop.
I do want to however mention that I believe reports should also be based on whether the person recording the incident could have
A - Prevented the accident by braking early or changing to another lane
B - If this "recording" was taken intentionally to ban them (i.e. if they intentionally switched lanes to make them ram into their truck and framing it as them intentionally ramming)
C - If the recording driver is driving as recklessly or even more recklessly than them (i.e. they're approaching bends at inappropriate speeds)
And should it be the case where the recording driver intentionally set them up to be "Rec banned", they should be punished where possible.
unless tmp already do this then feel free to ignore

I think verbal feedback would feel more authentic rather than a like system.

If anything it makes more sense if we could rename the servers as follows:
- Simulation 1 -> Europe 1
- Simulation 2 -> Europe 2
- [US] Simulation -> North America 1
- [SGP] Simulation -> Singapore 1
- Arcade -> Europe Arcade
- Promods -> Europe Promods
- Promods Arcade -> Europe Promods Arcade
And then with ATS:
- Simulation -> Europe 1
- [US] Simulation -> North America 1
- [US] Arcade -> North America Arcade
If the server region is incorporated in the server names then it might make it more easier to actually find a server based on the players location. It's a minor change but makes some difference to identifying servers. Plus it wouldn't be misleading to anyone to think that the servers are a simulation server as the polls suggest, not many people prefer to drive in simulation conditions.

I have been quite disappointed recently by the decisions made in TMP recently and I do think its misleading to name a server "Simulation 1", "Simulation 2" if TMP doesn't think about real world driving. And as this post mentions, they absolutely do not take simulation seriously:
It is quite unfortunate they want to remove the simulation aspect of the game. Therefore, TMP is a racing game and not a truck simulator modification. And to further add onto this, they only want to focus on C-D and leave the rest of the map out as well as forgetting ATS is a game. So I'll present the meme I've created here:
Oh btw, could we rename TMP to "C-D Racing Game" while we're at it.

W and S because i use mouse steering!
and my CPI button on the mouse is assigned to record clips with Nvidia GeForce Experience!
-
Mhm! It's on my profile if anyone wants to watch it. Definately not making that mistake again with overtaking on solid lines and not checking if there are oncoming vehicles approaching.
-
If they are driving safely then I'm happy. But it only becomes a problem if they try to be aggressive to other drivers, especially if they were to overtake on solid lines or when a vehicle is approaching which kinda shows they are impatient.
-
I don't mind having cars in TMP tbh as it brings in some variety within TMP. However, doesn't it somewhat contradict what TruckersMP is meant to be? Now while I'm not too opposed with having new vehicles introduced but I do not think this should be the main focus for TMP.

God dammit Dav. 3500€ on an accessory for a piece of metal!??? It better last you a long time for it to be worth it!
And now my turn. I'm currently financing a PC worth £1387 intended for gaming (which is replacing the laptop that cannot handle any games past 10-20 FPS). Was it worth it???????
- Intel i5-13500
- 32GB RAM (yes its kinda overkill tbh)
- Nvidia 3060ti (I plan to upgrade this if my 750W PSU allows for it)
- 250GB M.2 SSD
- 1TB M.2 SSD
- It also comes with 2 case fans and a liquid cooler.

Any roads that are not associated with Calais, Duisburg or anywhere around that area.
EDIT: I just realised this was an ATS Chat. I haven't played ATS for a while but I do find it fun driving around Oregon and Washington.

yes i was going to say the only place to park your truck is in NCZ not on the side of the road as i have seen alot you wouldnt do it in real life so dont do it on truckersmp
Generally it's okay to stop around main roads given that you have hazards on. Sometimes it is not always possible to stop on an NCZ.
This guide isn't here to encourage people to stop at dangerous areas but as an indicator of which places are most appropriate to stop at. For any areas marked in red, they really should only be used as a last resort.

I need help with TruckersMp when i click Lunch ETS2. It just turn on normal single player game and not a TruckersMp.
If I understand this correctly, when you launch the TMP launcher and then click ETS2, it doesn't open TruckersMP?
Try these solutions:
- Is Steam running in the background? If Steam isn't running in the background, make sure you open Steam first before opening TruckersMP. This is because if you try to launch the game, it will open Steam but then produce an error message from Steam's end. It will not launch properly.
- Is TruckersMP installed correctly? If unsure or in doubt, I suggest you download the launcher again (Uninstall isn't really necessary but you can do it if you want). Make sure you get the correct file paths!

i'm sorry. that's where you are wrong

Right of Way Guide for all Junctions
By ash.exe
I usually see a few people make the mistake of giving way to people when they have the right of way or incorrectly taking priority in a junction. Seeing as there isn't really a guide that covers this properly, I thought I might as well make it. This guide will go over the fundamentals to all junctions in ETS2/ATS and will highlight who has the right of way at each area.
General Rules:
- Avoid unnecessarily giving priority to other individuals - A lot of users typically flash their high beams to let the other person know they are giving way. This should only be done if the other driver has priority to continue or if the road is not busy at all. Do not flash to give priority in busy areas.
- If you do not have priority on that junction, give way to drivers around that do - This will keep junctions organised and safe for everyone around.
- Always use indicators when necessary - This makes it easier for other traffic to understand what you are doing. If you don't signal, others may have to guess what you are doing.
- If someone else mistakenly takes priority when they shouldn't have, avoid crashing into them - If you can clearly see another driver try to take priority at a junction they do not have priority on, do everything you can to avoid a crash whether that be to slow down or to swerve to avoid the situation. Please be mindful of other drivers around you.
- Do not approach a junction too quickly - This gives you less time to react to other traffic around and increases risk of accidents. The faster you go, the more responsibility is held upon you.
- Do not overtake on non-highway junctions - This will likely interrupt other traffic around you and may cause a collision with oncoming traffic.
The next sections will explain each junction, each truck's priorities and tips for the area. Although the images below may be represented when trucks are stopped, this also applies to any vehicles that are moving and have priority over the other vehicle.
T-Junctions:
Also applies to Non Collision Zones and Y Junctions
1 BLUE TRUCK: Can proceed straight ahead or turn right without giving way
2 RED TRUCK: Can proceed straight ahead without giving way | Must give way to Blue truck before turning left
3 GREEN TRUCK: Must give way to Blue Truck if turning right | Must give way to Blue and Red Trucks if turning left
-
Emerge out slightly in the direction you are going to if you are a Green Truck.
-
Drivers with larger cargos or long trailers may need to use extra space to turn. Give way to them if you need to.
-
Do not enter the junction if the exit road is not clear.
Traffic controlled Crossroad:
1 GREEN TRUCK: Can proceed straight ahead or turn right without giving way | Cannot turn left
2 BLUE TRUCK: Can proceed straight ahead without giving way | Must give way to Red Truck before turning left (Only if the Red Truck is going straight ahead) | Cannot turn right
2 RED TRUCK: Can proceed straight ahead without giving way | Must give way to Blue Truck before turning left (Only if the Blue Truck is going straight ahead) | Cannot turn right
-
If turning right as a blue or red truck, turn the steering wheel as early as possible.
-
If the Red Truck is carrying a long trailer, they will assume priority over the blue truck when turning right. Do not proceed past the traffic line if you are the blue truck. Use as much space as possible if you are the red truck. Same applies to the opposite.
-
Anyone that jumps the red light automatically assumes priority over any other vehicle.
-
Do not jump the red light as you are likely to cause an accident.
-
Do not change lanes in the middle of the junction.
Crossroads with Stop Line:
Also applies to give way lines
1 GREEN TRUCK: Can proceed straight ahead or turn right without giving way | Must give way to Red Truck before turning left
1 RED TRUCK: Can proceed straight ahead or turn right without giving way | Must give way to Green Truck before turning left
2 BLUE TRUCK: Must give way to Red Truck if turning right | Must give way to Green and Red Trucks if turning left or going straight ahead
-
If yourself and the driver head are turning left, steer as early as possible.
-
If there is a conflict of give ways for the blue truck and the truck ahead, assume priority by first come first serve.
-
If this crossroad is unmarked, no one has priority. Only emerge on a first come first serve basis.
-
Do not enter the junction if the exit road is not clear.
Roundabouts
Also applies to mini roundabouts in Promods or single lane roundabouts.
1 BLUE TRUCK: Can proceed straight ahead or turn right without giving way
2 GREEN TRUCK: Must give way to drivers on the roundabout (Blue Truck) before turning right
2 RED TRUCK: Must give way to driers on the roundabout (Blue Truck) before turning left
-
Use the correct lane before entering the roundabout.
-
Circle the roundabout if you miss your exit.
-
Drivers with wide cargo or long trailers may need to use both lanes of the roundabout. Do not attempt to overtake them.
-
Avoid swerving or switching lanes on the roundabout.
-
Do not attempt to exit the roundabout at the correct lane if you've missed it.
Slip Road Exit:
GREEN TRUCK: Can proceed straight ahead or exit the motorway
RED TRUCK: Can proceed straight ahead | Cannot exit the motorway
-
Merge into the slip road as early as possible, especially in traffic situations.
-
If you miss your exit, continue straight ahead.
-
Slow down if you are entering the slip road.
-
Do not attempt to reverse to get to the slip road.
-
Do not cut drivers off if exiting the motorway.
Slip Road Entry to Motorway with Fast Moving Traffic:
1 RED TRUCK: Can proceed straight ahead without giving way | Should give way to traffic on the slip road where possible
2 GREEN TRUCK: Must give way to traffic (Red Truck) already on the main road
-
If you are the Red Truck and the Green Truck is already ahead of you, try to give way to them if possible.
-
Use the full length of the slip road to accelerate.
-
Do not enter the slip road if you are the Red Truck.
-
Do not prevent the driver from entering the main road if they already committed to it.
Slip Road Entry to Motorway with Slow Moving Traffic:
2 RED TRUCK: Give way to vehicles on the slip road (Green Truck) where possible
1 GREEN TRUCK: Use the full length of the slip road and merge into the main road where there is a gap
-
Always leave a gap between yourself and the driver ahead to allow slip road traffic to merge.
-
Take advantage of any gaps you might find near the end of the slip road.
-
Do not attempt to close the gap if a driver has already committed to merging to the next lane. This will cause a blockage for both traffic.
-
Do not prevent drivers from entering the gap.
-
It is usually a common mistake for people to close gaps and preventing traffic on the slip road from merging. Although traffic on the main road may have priority, it may cause an increase in traffic for slip road drivers.
-
Avoid treating priority as a competition here. Having the mindset of "I have priority on this lane so drivers should not merge here" creates more traffic for other lanes.
Cloverleaf interchange with Fast Moving Traffic:
1 GREEN TRUCK: Can proceed straight ahead or exit the motorway without giving way
2 RED TRUCK: Must give way to drivers on the main road (Green Truck) including if they are exiting the motorway | Can proceed ahead or enter the motorway
-
If you are the red truck, approach this junction slowly and be prepared to give way to other drivers.
-
If you cannot enter the motorway, continue straight ahead and loop the cloverleaf.
-
Enter the slip road early if you are the green truck.
-
Do not accelerate if you are the red truck and there is another truck next to you.
-
Avoid rushing to get to the motorway. You can always go the wrong way.
Cloverleaf interchange with Slow Moving Traffic:
1 RED TRUCK: If there is space for you to enter the motorway, proceed
2 GREEN TRUCK: If entering the slip road might block traffic (Red Truck) from entering the motorway, wait before the entry point to allow traffic on the slip road to move. Proceed to the exit if your vehicle size won't block traffic behind.
-
Take advantage of any gaps that might allow you to enter the motorway.
-
If you are driving the blue truck, keep the gap between yourself and the truck ahead as small as possible.
-
Be prepared to wait a bit longer if the Red Truck is carrying a long cargo.
-
Do not block traffic (Red Truck) from entering the motorway. This increase traffic for that side too.
-
Never attempt to merge into the slip road too late as you will block traffic behind you.
I hope this guide has been helpful and if you have any questions or confusions, please drop it down in the comment box below. Thanks once again for reading.

Hi there! Try verifying your files just to make sure there isn't a corrupt file there. If the invisible wall still exists, I would suggest you report this as a bug on https://truckersmp.com/support.
The developers will be made aware of this possible bug if you report it there. If this is also happening on Single Player, you might want to report this bug to the SCS Software over here: https://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=16653
One final thing to mention is that it might be a good idea to also keep that evidence available just in case someone tries to ban you for something beyond your control.
-
UPDATE: I've decided to rephrase point 3 to mention Merge In Turn. For those that may not know what it is, "Merge In Turn" reduces congestion by allowing vehicles to use the full length of the lane and then entering the lane at the latest possible time.
On the second image, if you are driving on the blue lane, it is a good idea to leave some gaps in between yourself and other vehicles to allow people in the green lane to merge. DO NOT PREVENT PEOPLE FROM MERGE IN TURNING IF THEY COMMITTED TO IT. If you are driving in the green lane, use the full length of the lane and merge when you find a gap!

Interesting guide & good to know. I always don't understand the last-second exit tho
Glad you found it interesting! A lot of people in TMP tend to use either the 2nd, 3rd or 4th lane then suddenly jump to the exit lane which blocks off traffic behind them. This is usually why it creates further congestion on the road.
That's when it should be appropriate for drivers around to remain vigilant about which lane to use overall and to just continue making the mistake than suddenly trying to correct the mistake.

Tips for driving in busy events
By ash.exe
With the recent introduction of the "Destination Hannover" event, Hannover city became more busier than usual to drive in. This guide will go over some tips for driving in busier events such as World of Trucks events (i.e. Genoa Bridge, Destination Hannover) or TruckersMP events (i.e. Operation HQ). Please note this guide doesn't just apply to the current event but will also apply to future events hosted by WoT and TMP.
1. Always adhere to the Game Moderator's request - Game Moderators in TruckersMP aren't just here to ban reckless drivers. They also help out in situations like traffic. If a Moderator asks you to do something or not to do something, please adhere to their request to avoid creating further problems.
2. Make sure your PC can handle traffic - If your PC can handle the traffic on the C-D road or Calais city, then it may most likely do well in busier events too. If your PC cannot handle traffic well, reduce your settings or drive in single player.
3. Only Merge In Turn when conditions allow for it - Merge In Turn reduces congestion behind you by allowing drivers to use the full length of the lane and merging at the lane closing point. This should be conducted in slower speeds and on entry slip roads only. I've seen many drivers make the mistake of Merge In Turning at the exit slip road which will block drivers continuing straight ahead from the highway. The first image shows a bad "Merge In Turn" and the second image shows a good "Merge In Turn".
RED: Do not attempt to merge in turn and continue straight ahead to prevent blocking traffic missing this exit.
GREEN: Enter this lane as soon as possible if you are exiting this highway.
RED: Do not attempt to Merge In Turn too early as you are likely to cause a congestion behind you.
GREEN: Use the full length of the lane and merge into the next lane when you find a gap.
BLUE: Leave some space for people in the green lane to merge into as you reduce congestion on that lane! Do NOT block or prevent people in that lane from entering the lane.
4. Don't spam the horn! - It's incredibly annoying for other drivers around you to have to deal with you spamming the horn, especially when it doesn't really do anything. Only use the horn if another vehicle is about to crash into you. Also some people want to listen to music and not listen to horns.
5. Always plan out a route that doesn't take you into too much traffic - It is usually a good idea to decide how you'll get to your destination logistic company in the smallest amount of time possible. That's where the TMP map would be useful: https://map.truckersmp.com/. Of course traffic is going to be inevitable but it does save you some time. I encourage you to avoid using the route preplotted by the game as everyone will be using that.
6. If you cannot wait any longer in the traffic, run /disconnect - Typing /disconnect in the chat box will disconnect you from the server and will cause all drivers to disappear. This is extremely useful if you need to leave the game but still in traffic. This will also NOT delete your job and will log the job normally on WoT and any VTC logging system you might be using.
7. Drive in single player mode - Of course you also have the alternative of driving in single player if it is too busy. Again this will not delete your job.
8. Do not overtake traffic if you are going to the same destination as them - This isn't usually a good idea because if traffic is gridlocked, then merging back into the traffic will be difficult and may block off any drivers trying to get to another destination.
9. If you are driving with friends, please be considerate of other drivers on the road - Everyone is trying to get to the same destination so expect the convoy to split up. If the convoy splits up, do not try to remerge the convoy as it creates more problems for others around.
I hope this guide is helpful and hope you all have a safe drive. Any questions??? Drop them below.
