Little Tip On Signs:

[KaizerNO]

Hello Truckers!

 

Today I wanted to share with you 2 signs that I see is not being obeyed by some people. Of course, you don't have to obey them, but if you do, you will make the game more fun to play and even more realistic, which is good for players who like to play realistic. So take a look at these signs, take note when you are driving and remember what they mean to you and others.

Also, it is nice that people stop and let you out on the road

 

 

First, here is a sign i guess everyone has seen before. It either got a white triangle inside of it or a yellow. (depends on country you are in)

 

This sign is called a "Yield" sign. This sign can be found in Intersections going on to e.g highways, two way roads and actually all roads that leads somewhere or connects to another road.  

If this sign is faced towards you, you need to wait until there are no trucks/cars coming from left or right. If it is clear, you can drive, but if there are someone coming, you have to wait until they have passed.

 

 

Second sign is this. This sign is usually in this color and shape, but I might be wrong about the colors. 

So, this sign is called many things, but from what i found out it is being called "Right Of Way" in some countries. If this sign is facing you, it means that you can go before the other people who got the "Yield", or "Stop" sign facing them. This sign can be found in the same places as the "Yield" sign, but sometimes on different locations.

 

 

 

Just to throw some more pictures so you know where they can be:

Cheers!

 

In the UK, we don't have them white and yellow square things. And the triangle has white inside. It also either says "Give Way" inside the triangle or on a sign below it:

 

 

 

I think it's less confusing this way. Not too sure though....

Maybe it is easier to remember it if it is the same shape

[HeyI'mAmethyst]

Yeah I think so too.

haha nope, but to show where the signs can be

[FirestarteR93]

Obviously signs are on the road

Didn't think you got my post right. I ment that the Yield sign and the other sign can be in those positions.

Got a couple more that can be usefull with the new dlc

 

    2 lanes going in the same direction merges into 1, neither got right of way.

      Acceleration lane merges with right hand lane, neither got right of way

  Right lane stops ( and left lane got right of way )

It all goes to plan... Until you come to a 4 way where everyone apparently has priority... 

 

Anyway, some people need to be taught not to drive over chevrons, the amount of people that do that and almost hit someone is stupid.

Still need to be careful as the roads can be narrow.  I "ignored" a yield sign in the exact same circumstances, to smash into a truck who took his "priority" right turn wide.

Some trucks need a wide turn because of things like longer trailers (low loaders), a longer chassis (Actros) or both. Seems like you were being a bit of an ass not giving others enough room.

Nope, it has all to do with recognition.

These are special signs and their form is unique to their meaning. A yield sign is ALWAYS a triangle with the point down. The Right of Way sign is always a square with stand on it's corner. A stop sign is always a octagon. A triangle with the point up is always a warning sign. That why the sign 100m (yards) from the junction is faced with the point up..

 

Why are these shapes so important? Well, think what happens after a snow storm. The sign faces are all covered with snow, so you can't see what they are saying. So the really important signs have gotten unique shapes.

The last few decades European countries started to align their traffic signs, so European car drivers can expect pretty much the same rules as when he is driving home. Foreign drivers (tourists) are already in an unfamiliar environment, using the same signs across Europe causes less stress (and accidents). And now Europe is 'one happy family' same standardization is nice. Now, if it was also that easy for speeding limits..

 

Last weekend I was in the UK (London) and I noticed that I found it easier to drive in the UK after 'practicing' driving on the other side of the road. And I made it back home safe ;-)

I don't mean to drive blindly like the road is yours - just keep in mind its a game and compared to RL there are some differences which will always remain - e.g. map limits, NCZs etc.

When there are no signs or markings saying otherwise, traffic coming from the right has right of way. Left in the UK.

I probably need to bail out of this game for a while, my driving has gone downhill for a while.  Probably due to boredom.

Seems to be many that don't know that, there are places in the game where I've seen people not following those rules and it's caused near collisions(but no actual collisions luckily).

[Nekuroi]

I didn't know about the second sign. i thought it was like the first.

 

In my country on an intersection the one from the right have priority, i don't know if this rule applies to other countries

Hey guys, let me add a few signs from my country for 'incoming traffic':

This sign is a warning for a road-section, that incoming traffic is to be expected. The reason why this signal is used, that a section of a road can become tighter so you must expect incoming traffic and act accordingly. Noone has priority, so you must drive carefully.

 

This sign is similar to the previous one, but this time you have priority and anyone else coming from the opposite way must stop to give way.

The opposite for this sign looks like this:

From my experience, that sign is used to let you know that you can expect trafick both ways, ofthen used when the high way ends,  or, like in sweden ingame, when the divider between the lanes ends.
