Calais F7 one way system

[Martin_v8]

Suggestion Name: Calais F7 one way system 

 

Suggestion Description: At the moment going in/out of F7 in Calais is a bloody nightmare, you have people going straight in front of F7 entrance in 2 directions (left to right and right to left), you can enter the F7 by 2 directions (from the right/left), you can leave by 2 directions(right/left). My suggestion is to make that road in front of F7 a one way system (right to left) meaning you can only enter the garage from right side, and can only leave turning left (meaning you can NOT enter from left or exit right!) Coming into Calais at that set of traffic lights, make it a right turn only (no going straight) which would mean the road ahead (Road infront of F7 is a one way system, and you drive past Ownable garage to get to that F7 road) 

 

Any example images: Unfortunately, I have no experience with photo editing, so I can’t make any graphics, showing my suggestion 

 

Why it should be added: traffic easily builds up on that road with people wanting to go in all directions, by making it “one way” i feel it will make traffic flow better.

i hope this suggestion makes sense, in my head i know what i am trying to say but working it, not so easy!!

Hello! I think this might ease the traffic a bit.

Yes!! When you actually sit and watch the entrance to the F7, you get to see what the problem is traffic coming from all directions, and nobody lets each other out! Restricting traffic to only come in one direction Would really help keep traffic flowing and stop collisions when not in Ghost mode anymore!

I've done a better idea. I've converted the city into a 1 way system.

Purple: Close that ramp. Forces all traffic to the port/roundabout area. Both city exits can stay as is.

 

However, knowing staff, they won't do any changes because they cater to what majority of players want. Making things better is a nope from them.

I know I literally don’t understand why they wouldn’t want to make traffic flow better. It literally makes the experience much better for everybody and they get less reports and have to kick less people! The F7 one way in Duisburg works really well

Because they would be getting complaints from the majority of CD Players: "This one way sucks. Return it to how it used to be."

It sucks because smart people would use back entrance to reach the three companies in the city, making those back streets one way would force them to plow through whole lot of not too bright people who would be mostly ignoring no entry signs anyway.

And smart people don't F7.

I have proposed a revamp to the city itself. But, they don't want to do it.

All players are required to obey the rules, but only a few know or care about national road traffic laws/ regulations and road signage.

Consider this whenever you make suggestions that require a basic understanding of road traffic laws and the need to follow them.

It could help, but the level of traffic going in and out is still going to be the same.

Yes, at least it wouldn’t be so close to those traffic lights which literally holds everybody up!

It would be easier to get in and out of if they moved it off the entrance to Calais, but also then provided a second exit, then made it one way like the fuel stations. Entering one side and leaving the other. Forcing everyone to go one way out of the fuel station may actually just make traffic worse and they are all having to use the quieter roads in Calais, making them busier. Yes it may mean less slamming on the accelerator when leaving the F7, but it would just cause more traffic at other intersections that are quieter at the moment.

this is an actually very good idea, i support it

['Matheja]

calais i think it should be changed completely now

Like Duisburg, Calais needs a rework.

 

Repair stop far away of the garage and the exit/entrace of the city and companies. I think it would be nice to have more than one road to leave the city and a gas station like Duisburg to ease the traffic on the first gas station in the Calais/Duisburg road. 

I don't know how to edit photos, so I did it with paint with the actual city would be amazing to have a secondary road like this.

According to the shown map, the majority of players don't use the road that leads to the big roundabout north of the city.

Why not?

 

Before building new roads, I'd suggest to use the already existing roads.

For that, block the exit to the city for traffic that approaches from the south and lead them over the roundabout.

Let them leave the city to the south. Something like this:

You have a point. I always use that highway to enter and leave the city, its impossible to enter and leave the city using the shortest way.

I think that you have a good idea blocking roads
