Road checkpoints/gate-houses...

Post by R-T-C Tim »

Just an idea, can't see it mentioned elsewhere.

To stop other user's vehicles using your roads, would it be possible to have gate-houses, that only allow your vehicles to pass. The same way that all factories etc. have gate-houses to only allow certain vehicles past.

Don't know anything about coding etc. would this be possible?

You could even give your vehicles tokens so that only certain vehicles could use certain roads - would eliminate the massive traffic jams at multi-lorry depots since each depot could have a gate-house in front of it. But this might be much more complex.

It may be possible. The graphics could be like a way point on train tracks. Or you could make a toll Booth

That'd be interesting - Charging other companies' vehicles to use your roads...

But personally, I think it's a really good idea!

Well, toll booth seems a bit unnecessary, as they say on the other thread, its just making easy money, and since I never play with AI on, then it won't affect me either way.

I was suggesting waypoints, like on the rails, that would allow you to send vehicles where you wanted them to go and stop others from using your roads.

I really like the idea! I usually end up with a large number of road vehicles just "standing" in line and doing nothing.

Road vehicle waypoints would be good. Especially if they were used as bus-stops.
