Why the Calais-Duisburg road became so popular?

I've been playing this game since 2016 and I remember that the route between Calais-Duisburg and Rotterdam-Europort were always high populated for whatever reason. 

 

It's probably due to being allowed to overtake, take high risks and people like that obviously? I don't know, it's just how it is..

I'm wondering why it's still popular after all this time, Europort died off after only 2-3 years and this road is still mega congested after 5. You would think people would get sick of it by now. There's this one road in Germany I have in mind for an alternative that's very similar with the tight turns and it looks good now because of the Germany rework and would be a nice change for once. The connecting cities of Frankfurt and Prague already have a decent amount of players too. https://prnt.sc/25l5otg

Hey there!

In my understanding, Calais-Duisburg is a frequently congested road due to the following factors:

 

1. No DLC zone. Since you only need the base game to drive Calais-Duisburg, there will be many more drivers in this area.

 

2. Popularity. Calais-Duisburg route was spread through social media like a super congested road full of trollers. It is the most famous road, and attracts alot of people. Just see youtubers like Tony747, and all the others. For example, this video:

(ETS2... The Death Road Calais-Duisburg...).

 

3. Importance of cities. Calais is one of the most important cities in terms of cargo transport. Cargo comes from all parts of world, which is then unloaded at Calais and redirected towards all of Europe. Other cities where you can notice this phenomenon is Rotterdam and Amsterdam.

 

I believe this is why Calais-Duisburg has so many drivers: It has a huge popularity and reputation, where you can drive solely with the base game with no need for additional DLC's, not to mention that Calais is a crucial city for world wide trade market.

嘿!

在我的理解中,由于以下因素,加来 - 杜伊斯堡是一条经常拥堵的道路:

 

1.没有 DLC 区域。由于您只需要基础游戏即可驾驶加莱 - 杜伊斯堡,因此该地区将有更多的车手。

 

加来 - 杜伊斯堡路线通过社交媒体传播,就像一条超级拥挤的道路,到处都是巨魔。这是最着名的道路,吸引了很多人。只要看看像Tony747这样的youtube用户,以及其他所有的人。例如,此视频:

(ETS2...加莱-杜伊斯堡的死亡之路...)。

 

3. 城市的重要性。加来是货物运输方面最重要的城市之一。货物来自世界各地,然后在加来卸货并重定向到整个欧洲。其他可以注意到这种现象的城市是鹿特丹和阿姆斯特丹。

 

我相信这就是为什么加莱杜伊斯堡有这么多的驱动因素:它拥有巨大的人气和声誉,你可以只用基础游戏驾驶,而不需要额外的DLC,更不用说加来是世界贸易市场的重要城市。

I also agree with the partner that there is no DLC restriction, and this section of the road is called CD road.

I agree with you buddy! You just take my words from my mouth ?
