Adding another entrance to Calais


Recommended Posts

Suggestion Name: Add a small road coming out from Calais to the C-D road.

Suggestion Description:

 

Unlike Duisburg, which has 2 exits, one of them pretty calm, currently Calais only has one entrance, if we do not count the port to the UK. This road is usually overcrowded with players, the vast majority of them are coming to C-D road. This road has a couple of sharp turns which are very dangerous for a road full of reckless drivers. Accidents and traffic jams are very common there. In addition, currently most of the players who want to enter Calais, after leaving A16 highway they need to do a left turn against the traffic coming from the city. Again, this is an extremely dangerous intersection where a lot of accidents happen.

 

At the entrance of Calais there is a roundabout. Coming from the south is the entrance road. To the west, the avenue where the service station is located. To the north, the road which leads to the port. To the east there is no exit. If you could continue that way, you would quickly reach C-D road. If you use the free camera in C-D road, you could see a building 'in the oblivion', that building is actually located next to the entrance of Calais.

 

My suggestion is to create a small avenue from the roundabout in Calais, to the C-D road. That way, most of the 'crowd' who want to go to/from C-D road would use that road, leaving the current exit with way lower traffic. It would be much safer to leave the city, if you want to go to C-D road, you would just follow the crowd via the new road, if you want to go via Lille, you use the default exit.

 

Traffic coming to Calais from C-D road would just take that road and then continue via the roundabout into the city. Traffic coming from Lille would still have to 'drive against the crowd', but now in a better position, since a roundabout is much better than a left turn, also it is inside the city, which means the traffic there is limited to 80 kph, unlike the A16 highway exit where people drive much faster.

Why should it be added?: To make it safer for people to enter/leave Calais, and also make life much better for people who want to go to/from Calais but not via C-D road. It would also make leaving C-D road a bit safer, since currently you need to turn into a pretty narrow highway entrance and this usually causes a bit of trouble with players driving too fast. With this road you would have more space to turn.
