Interstate Nomad Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Suggestion Name: Add information/ hyperlink of European and American road traffic rules to the TruckersMP rules Suggestion Description: see suggestion name Any example images: n/a Why should it be added?: Paragraph 2 Game Only Rules states "[...]Traffic laws and road signage must be obeyed. This means European road laws and signage must be followed in ETS2 and American road laws and signage must be followed in ATS.[...]". It lacks however information or a source where to find official publications of the corresponding road traffic rules. As agreeing to the rules is a requirement to join and use the TruckersMP services, it's necessary to make these information available to all users. The official road traffic rules for member countries of the European Union can be found here: https://ec.europa.eu/transport/road_safety/going_abroad/index_en.htm This likely is available for the American States and Baltic countries, too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phon Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Hey, While our rules state that local traffic rules should be followed, there are several that do not apply in a video game. Many traffic rule violations which in real life would lead to a fine, points or similar have no impact in TMP, some examples are: - Poor lane discipline is fine providing there is nobody in the area - Violation red lights / stop signs is fine providing there is nobody in the area - Speeding is fine providing nobody is endangered - Indicating is not required at any point - Driving in bus lanes/in a bus station is fine - Doing U-turns outside of designated turning spots is fine providing there is nobody in the area This rule largely refers to giving way to other drivers where necessary (red lights/give way signs) and merging rules. By linking to external sources citing traffic laws across Europe, we would be claiming that all traffic laws contained in said source must be followed. This is obviously not the case. We believe the rule is satisfactory, however I completely understand your point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
