Guest Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Hello I’m fairly new to TMP and have only been playing for a few months, Truckers multiplayer is brilliant and I enjoy running a VTC with my friends. However there is one major problem, traffic lights. When I first started playing there was no problem, all vehicles stopped at the junction and moved accordingly to the lights, but recently in the last month I have noticed when ever I pull up to a red light I get someone beeping their horn or calling me an “idiot” or “why are you sitting there”. The fact the lights are not the same for everyone hit me when I was at one of the road works traffic lights on the road to Paris, I waited for the light to go green and proceeded through. But as I got nearly half way a truck started to come my way. Eventually after talking to a few people I found out that it’s ‘hit and miss’ to weather my friends (or someone else has a red light or green light too.) I have also noticed it causes a lot of traffic problems at many places where people are arguing who’s right of way it is with annoyed drivers waiting behind. I have heard of the problem before last year but it sort of disappeared and has come back now. I haven’t seen any suggestions of fixes and maybe it’s not possible to fix but who else here agrees it’s a big problem? I’m not personal too bothered but I’m not sure whether to just go through but be cautious or just wait? What’s everyone else’s idea? Sorry if it sounds stupid but being a new member I thought I’d check with people that have experience. (I’m good at driving so do my best to avoid crashes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali. Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I guess this can differ from player to player I guess It's not 100% necessary to stop at red lights but it IS necessary to stop at them in high populated areas such as; Calais & Duisburg Amsterdam & Rotterdam People play the game properly (following rule of the road) are a lot more interesting to see because they are following the "simulation" aspect of the game Personally - I follow the rules of the road. Kind regards, Ali.

Tosh8 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 The lights are the same for everyone. So keep driving like in "real life" If its red you better stop especially on places where it's full with players. Go on green and it's all alright. Cuz if u go on red light and ram someone /or cause any type of accident/ you may end kicked or banned later. So at least you're "safe" if you drive on green light and someone rams u.. it means he drive on red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He showed me a video from his truck and it was green when my light was red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akoa Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 The traffic lights are the same to everyone.

I just wanted to see if it’s a one off or an intermittent problem. Also wanted to see if anyone had the same issue, but thanks for helping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FernandoCR [ESP] Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 AFAIK, traffic lights at road works aren't synchronized, all others are. If you're inside a city and you see a red traffic light, all other players on the same street will be seeing it red. But if you're driving on a county road, come to a road work and see the light red, the player behind you might see it green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep totally happened to me, I would say this is something that needs to be fixed as it causes a danger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, they weren't going into blinking yellow at nights or something like that. I agree, today I had an update when I logged on and it’s fixed the sync problem but the traffic lights at roadworks still need to be fixed. Some of the road works sites that are long are very dangerous because some players don’t have the long draw distance and don’t see oncoming vehicles till it’s to late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rootyyy Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I always stop at Red's, to the point where in my VTC (LGO Logistics) driver exam, we see if the driver under examination stops at it. Its a good show of how careful a driver is, and they really should be followed across the entire map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway yeah with my VTC we always stop at lights for obvious reasons and even when not in convoy we always stick to pure realism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobi124 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 It is completely normal to follow the traffic lights. Most users don't follow them, because they can''t wake 30 seconds or have other reason. I follow the rules, even in empty city. When you are on convoy, you must ignore traffic lights, or others will call you "idiot" or "'moron" or other word.

XioPlay Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 It's bad because a lot of players don't respect the driving rules (traffic lights, priority...). It's sure that rules are different depending on the country. I'm french so I respect the French driving rules...If everybody did it like that, there would be a lot fewer accidents...

Carrera18 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 It is good to stopping in the red light even if the road is empty Because it's a simulator game. The players who do not like Skoda say that this is a TIR simulator game. but most player are violating the rules. the person there was reported and banned. 13 hours ago, Rhyssss said: Don't see why not you can record such a video and report them HERE.
