HandMade Construction Layout

~THIS IS WRAAK(MIJNWRAAK) NOT THESTIG~ I havent gotten reg-email yet.


Earlier in the day I asked MaxH if i made a layout, if it would be put into server. He said he didnt know, but might as well try, basically.

So here is my go at it. I put the construction zone in the problematic high speed chicane after the bank. It will fit one GTR and no more. There is a 'safe zone' in middle of it near the white barriers, and there are service exits on both ends to get to part where you cant get to normally, in case of Gold or such

Here are some pics.

Well I like the idea only if people would run this construction zone. (This would need to be slighty tweaked to fit cars to block and reverse safely.)

If no one would be running this construction zone, it would be much worse then the bridge, there are corners, I don't believe you could even see cars from there. (Besides the mini map.)

So I like it if people would run it and it was tweaked, if we can't get people to run it, I do not like it.

Simple as that ha ha.

what do you mean 'run it'?

Like work as construction workers, turning a sign or in this case blocking both sides, one car moves out of the way lets one lane go, blocks the road, etc.

I think without doing that this looks way to dangerous, worse then bridge.

quite nice actually. however, it needs some warning signs 200-250 meters away so speeding people have a chance to make a safe slowdown.

wraak: ive sent out a reminder now to your account. Also check your spambox. Please refrain from using others accounts as thats not goot out of security reasons aswell as make things weird for readers. And ofc, people should never lend out their accounts.

Simplly placing one direction trap strategically at each end of this section might self regulate traffic not giving way to those already travelling in the 'construction' section. So then you wouldn't need ppl to regulate traffic. Might need some refinement and testing to make it work, but I have a hunch it might work well.

@max, This is my account, but before I renamed myself to something less common :P. Still havent recieved the email in box or spam, and i manually resent too =[

oh also, I put signs up pretty far away too, after testing realizing that once i saw any signs and taking the time it takes to realize i should slow down, it was too late. Ill update it some more, though

What object do you suggest that i use that people usually know that it means "slow down"? Orange pole, arrow sign, red pole, red cone?

Still no email. This is WRAAK

I updated the enterance from the Bank. Two options - barriers or small red cones. Some pics

I prefer the cones as they are a lot more forgiving than the notorious barriers. Plus they look prettier ^-^

I dunno if you realize, but our default layout only has about 15-20 tops max spare.

I see that part of "Will fit one GTR and no more". Did you try a FXR with locked front and rear diff.?

ill try it now.

edit: works fine. didnt touch one barrier or anything. I mean that it wont fit 2 cars. Maybe 2 uf1s though. one gtr + uf1 = no. any gtr in there and another car will not fit, is what i was saying.
