Luxray Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Nope Blocking - Temporary / Permanent Ban Restricting a user's travel path, blocking entrances to highways or other entry points or anything similar. ^ there u go I hope you can agree that this is only for the few people that actually do this on purpose in Oxnard. I like to drive on that single lane road, because I like more interaction with other truckers and truckers having to work together to get past eachother safely.

BlackScout Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 This Oxnard congestion reminds me of old Rotterdam times... It was funny, I think I still got some screenshots of it. IMO, it can be fun but also a pain in the neck. Admins must have a really bad time with it >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont have to monitor every little truck and second of it, but they do. That is unneccessary. Sure a few trolls are always there and could be banned/reported, but please, dont monitor the whole jam from beginning till end... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaffewE Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 The odd one yes and obviously if someone crashes then it's unavoidable but when people are intentionally causing a traffic jam by going the wrong way or following the GPS when the main road goes the same way, coming back and doing loops like 95% of people at Oxnard they need to calm down and stop driving around unintentionally. As coopers screenshot shows, the exact reason people need to stop because it's taking up all of admins time and taking a ridiculous amount of effort to support.

Noraf Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 ^But it's still easily avoided? Just don't drive trough the ox if you don't want to be stuck in the traffic Dude, this is an internet forum. You can't expect people to read stuff. Jeez.

Guest Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Ah, Rotterdam 2.0. Well, when I get too Oxnard, that will be a lovely drive going through that traffic jam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaffewE Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 ^But it's still easily avoided? Just don't drive trough the ox if you don't want to be stuck in the traffic I don't mind it when it's not purposeful and it literally is from mass of players but it's unrealistic and pointless when those players have no reason to be there but haul trailers through it for no reason and go in circles to do that, of course it's easily avoided but usually I just follow the satnav without paying much attention so I may end up going through Oxnard without even initially realising it but thats fine so long as there isn't stupid ramming and blocking that happens on purpose when people want to push their way through to do a U turn and come back - also people being impatient and I am quite patient but you get those overtaking and ramming their way up the hill in that case Kind regards, Matthew § Need help? ~ Report bad driving ~ Forum & In-Game Rules ~ Feedback ~ Guides ~ Appeal a ban! § Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rode my ass to the entrance so i couldn't slow down, then passed on the shoulder, causing me to hit him when i tried to correct. Then yelled at me for not turning down a one lane road at 50MPH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyhococo Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I personally find traffic queues quite fun, but the problem is the people who take advantage of the fact that there are no admins about. For example, there may be slow traffic at Europoort due to a 125t load, which is understandable and I'd wait. But it's the people who are impatient with them, go steaming up the wrong side of the road, and lo and behold they cause a massive crash scene at EP. I personally have no patience for those kinds of people, because they're purposely causing a queue, whereas fella with 125t is just a bit slow due to the weight of the load. An admin would have much more patience with 125t person than wrong way person causing an RTC on purpose, and would ban wrong way person and help out 125t person. (This is just a scenario, not what has happened before. I'd like to see it happen though. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsagan Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I think people should avoid these traffic jams since even with awesome rig, CPU load is impossible to handle. Not only that, create a caos. But seems like ATS administrators don't bother about huge convoys that normally cause these unnecessary traffic jams. They should not allow huge convoys. It's the only thing that need to be done to solve this. "Trucks don't hit trucks, Truckers hit trucks". By me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxray Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 The worst thing is that some people (those on the main 2 lane road) go inside the one lane road for no reason, when it's quicker for them to just go straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevyBando Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I dont see why there should be a rule regarding this. THIS IS A SIMULATOR. Traffic is part of the immersion, And honestly those that blindly follow the gps down a one way road in a rig with a 53 foot trailer, are fools and deserve to be stuck in the traffic. This issue if it even is a issue can be fixed by simply planing your route to avoid one lane roads that you dont absolutely need to take. I love the traffic as its immersion, and help simulate driving a rig. What i dont like is useless rules like this that ruin the simulation, and like i said, sane people like, me wont take that road and rather take the 2 lane, Something a lot of players dont do because they cant be bothered to plan their route before hand, something real drivers do in real life.

The best idea is to miss Oxnard completely during peak times, never mind taking the main road to avoid smaller roads. I ended up with a load to chems in Oxnard, went to pick up my next load in San Raf (or whatever is north of Ox), the traffic coming out of Ox was backed up to the gas station (in Ox) and it was backed up, albeit not as bad, going into Ox. Almost as bad as the kenny dealer in LA when MP was updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cschnipke279 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 id say if youre a mildly ksilled driver feel free to take that road, if you feel you arent capable of waiting for other people, then please just get off this game, if you cnat do that at least take the main road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinolik Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Admins can make THEMSELVES a hard time with it. They dont have to monitor every little truck and second of it, but they do. That is unneccessary. Sure a few trolls are always there and could be banned/reported, but please, dont monitor the whole jam from beginning till end... But if they start selecting and excluding reports, the whole report system becomes broken. No one will report, since there's no reason to do it MP would be sucky without the traffic jams imo Yeah they're so fun. Until some ******* just drive right into you in the back, and another idiot behind him... I love it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
