Sunstrider Posted October 3, 2022 Report Posted October 3, 2022 Suggestion Name: Calais Revamp Suggestion Description: Remake the entire city. Any example images: Yes. Why should it be added?: Calais is a nightmare to get in and especially out of the city. The current problem areas are Traffic Light leaving A16 & Road in front of Repair Shop. Map is laid out and based on the actual city map. What my suggestion does: Road from A16 to Port is one way to the port, exits removed. Port Road splits at the end to port or city. At the second eastern exit will be used as the primary access road for gas, with access the repair towards the center of the city (with a light at the exit intersection). Companies are spread out to give roads a purpose to drive down it, besides map discovery. A16 intersection to Train has been revamped. One way roads to and from. With an added gas station on each side. A loop road has been placed in case someone misses the entrance to the trains. Understanding my map: A16: Purple Line Blue Lines: Two way roads and roundabouts. Lime Line: One way in one direction. Green Line: One way in the other direction. Orange Line: Road to a company/service. Red Line: One way path where 2 green lines would of met (Train Area Only). That's a bridge, not a junction. Black Area: Painted ground to help visually see the map better. Original roads are kept solely for the purpose of viewing the map. They won't exist should this suggestion be implemented. Placement of the companies is used as a guide. Staff reserve the right to change (stokes for an example) to a different location they deem fits the layout and won't be a bottleneck area. 1 4

Thank you! I don't have access to these old pictures at this moment. My main discord account was hacked in April 2024. One of the server's it had was a private server of mine where i would upload images. Discord Support has ignored my request for 5 months while they have helped other, hacked accounts, within 48 hours. Nor, do i understand why linking images from discord breaks them days later.
mth. Posted September 14, 2024 Report Posted September 14, 2024 Thanks for your reply @Sunstrider! Discord has made a change a few months ago and links to images hosted there are temporary. Now, they expire after a few days, which is a pain for everyone That being said, we can still review your suggestion without images. We'll be in touch soon!

mth. Posted September 20, 2024 Report Posted September 20, 2024 Hello @Sunstrider, Thanks for your suggestion! After careful consideration from within the team, we have decided not to move forward with your suggestion. The city of Calais enjoyed changes from SCS Software back in 2020, which introduced an entrance capable of accommodating a much higher flow of traffic into the city. Unfortunately, this northwestern roundabout remains largely underutilized by the community. Same goes with some companies such as NBFC, as most players would rather go to LKW - the first city from the drop-down menu in the custom dispatcher - leaving some areas emptier. We may consider subtle ways to encourage players to use this entrance and other companies, and balance traffic flow within the city. However, as long as some parts of the city remains underutilized by players, we will not consider making further changes to the city's layout. Therefore, we will decline your suggestion. Thanks for your understanding!
