Suggestion Name: Addition of Gas Stations to the CD Road
Suggestion Description: My suggestion is to add more gas stations to the CD road. The CD road is one of the most popular routes in the game and is frequently used by truckers. However, the current number of gas stations is inadequate, which leads to drivers having limited opportunities to refuel. Additionally, the small size of the gas stations can cause accidents when multiple trucks try to refuel at the same time.

Why should it be added?: The current lack of gas stations can make the journey more stressful and less safe for truckers. When truckers have limited opportunities to refuel, they may be more likely to run out of fuel, which can cause them to stop suddenly on the road or drive erratically in an attempt to reach the next gas station. This can be dangerous for other drivers on the road.

By adding more gas stations, truckers would have more opportunities to refuel safely, which would make the journey safer and more enjoyable.

Considering the amount of people that use that stretch of road, wouldn't adding another fuel station be pointless as that one will just get clugged up as well.

Thank you for sharing your opinion. However, I respectfully disagree that adding another gas station would be pointless.

I have to agree with the opinion of @The Englishman, since in my view both are sufficient, but the option, as can be clearly seen in your picture, that there is a gas station on each side of the road is at least better than now because then only in one direction can drive on it and it will already and noticeably relieve less traffic jams in front of it and generally less refueling trucks on one side.

I agree that more gas stations would be helpful, but only if they design it so it doesn't lead to more traffic flow issues. If you remember when TruckersMP released the CD "highway" on April 1st, they redesigned the gas station near Calais and they added traffic lights, so people can "safely" enter and exit the gas station, which just decreases the traffic flow substantially.

My suggestion is to add a special roundabout, called the "Turbo Roundabout" (common in The Netherlands) at the entrance and exit of the gas stations:

Roundabouts, in my opinion, are 100% superior to intersections (especially with traffic lights). They are safe and very fast.

Well of course you would since you're all for adding another one.

 

Think of it this way, the two that are currently on that stretch of road are always full so adding additional fuel stations would just give people the go ahead to fill those up too.  One option would be to ban the usage of double/triple trailers on that stretch of road as the very moment they feel the need to fill up with imaginary fuel then chaos with lots of blocking will surely follow.

 

Adding space (as in an aditional fuel station(s)) on a busy road will just lead to more traffic and more traffic means more queues more queues means more waiting time more waiting time means more people wil jump the queue which will lead to more people getting reported clogging up the report system even more.

I personally wouldn’t say another gas station is needed. I would say they just need to make the current gas stations bigger and make them so they are further away from the main road to allow for traffic
