CD Road Face Lift

[Somehow Lucky]

Suggestion Name:  CD Road Face Lift

Suggestion Description: Improvement project for this popular road.

Any example images: Yes. They will be added below this.

Why should it be added?: 3,200 players connect to the server everyday. The road desperately needs an update to handle the massive load.

 

As a result of the load on the road (heh, i made an unintentional rhyme), accidents and overtaking players are not the only cause of Traffic Jam Simulator.

 

PART 1: GAS STATIONS

The issue with these gas stations is that they are too small. There's just not enough space for everyone coming in. Not to mention the couple of rest spots directly in front of the pumps.

What is my solution?

If a custom asset is to be made, make about 4 pumps per asset. If not, a gas station with a rest area on both sides. Not only is this larger. But, it should be able to handle to load more efficiently. Excluding any impatient players who may use the ramps as a way to bypass "slower" traffic. 

 

PART 2: A73 Junction

It's poorly designed. There's not enough space for those getting on A73. When they slow down so does the traffic. Getting off is no better.

My solution is to have A73 going over CD with appropriate ramps.

 

PART 3: RAILROAD CROSSING

Another responsible factor for Traffic Sim. My solution is to take out the crossing and have the road go over the train line. Traffic keeps flowing.

 

PART 4: CD ROAD ITSELF

 

Make the road have 2 lanes in each direction with a central divider. Shoulder lane should only be for parking purposes and can be reported if anyone tries to use it as a third lane when there's no road hazard to avoid (such as an overturned player). Ignore my editing attempt. I'm far from ProMods quality.

 

PART 5: ROAD JUNCTION

I put a P for Parking. Maybe a parking lot or a Rest Area (Only if a custom gas station asset is made (as mentioned in Part 1).

A concept i think could work.

 

PART 6: CALAIS START

 

Revamp and will keep traffic flowing.

My idea is to have A16 split here. Towards Lille will have to stay in the right 2 lanes. CD Road (Blue) exits at the left 2 lanes. A16 (From Lille) goes out a bit wider and connects with CD on the right. (Honestly, i should of made it connect on the left so CD doesn't have merging madness.) Green lines are ramps towards Lille

 

PART 7: ADDING TOLL BOOTHS (Optional but should be included)

Red circles represent toll booths. If people can afford 2 weeks bans and still cause trouble, they can afford to pay to keep driving down this road. It might make others deviate from this road, yes. But, they will be charged 3 times (more if they have to F7).

 

That's all the ideas i have. Sim 1 will thank you should all 7 of these be implemented.
