Speed limits for Road vehicles

[pavel1269]

I was browsing forums when i saw this topic in suggestions. I liked it so i started to work on it.

I made a check if any house is present in 5x5(2tiles to each directory from vehicle) from vehicle position. And too if it's on "city land".

Done:

• - Limit speed in the towns
  • - Normal 50km/h
    - One-way road 70km/h
  - Limit speed outside the towns
  • - Normal 90km/h
    - One-way road 130km/h
  - Setup-able speeds

Todo:

• - Nothing i hope

When enter city, vehicle slow down

If limiting speed outside town is on and in town off, All roads have speed limits like outside town.
If one-way limit is set to 0, it will use speed limit from two-way.

*Update*: poll
*Update*: description to "5x5" and new version of patch, just added switch
*Update*: added to do thing and end of vote(who didnt vote, still can but it will end tomorow, because i dont want to delete that vote)
*Update*: new version
*Update*: final version i hope, added win32 binary, changed topic name
*Update*: new verion, now checking around tiles once per tile (~5x-50x less)

*Update*: 5x5 thing is called once per tile, only if patch to limit speed in town is on and if car is near town.

Hi Pavel,
I think it is really good!!!
I like it

[DeletedUser5]

There should be something in patches menu like that: Limit speed outside the towns. Then people could set what they want.

[Youri219]

Other, just make it a patch option.

[pavel1269]

i think it's clear now, 4yes, 3no and 2patch option, so i will make patch option

[DeletedUser5]

Yeah. 4 for yes 2 for patch option, but however you'll make patch option. I voted for that, because I think that's the better way to make a compromise between those who voted for yes and those who voted for no. And how about making option: Speed limit out of towns, Speed limit in towns, and something like that. There should be settings for that: XXmph and Unlimited.

[pavel1269]

Yeah. 4 for yes 2 for patch option, but however you'll make patch option.

4yes - 3no = 1yes and 2patch option

There should be settings for that: XXmph and Unlimited.

yeah, this is almsot done, but in km/h since i can't found defined speed -> game speed ... in km/h it's ~(defined_speed/2 - 1), but not exactly

[athanasios]

Patch option please. I hate speed limits (in real life).

[Bilbo]

Hmmm ... the road vehicles are pretty inferior when compared to the trains, so now they would be even worse? (by limiting their speed) I guess that would basically kill their usage completely.

[pavel1269]

If you play for money, then you will don't like or even hate this patch.
But, if you play for good-looking realistic nice complex system, you should like this
Every game i play is with daylength, so it will not kill them at least, for me.

[pavel1269]

so, patch is done and i hope, you will bug test it

[athanasios]

Original road vehicles are killed from birth!
Have to check this with LV4.

I think this is a good start, however, I believe it's too early for speed limits. There should be highways which have unlimited speed for road vehicles, then 2lane roads outside towns (like two one ways) that limit speed to maybe 120 km/h and regular roads outside towns which may be limited to 80 or 100. Inside towns should be no more than 50 (except on highways through towns).

Problem with this idea is: it requires much bigger towns to appear realistic. A highway between 2 towns with a population of 1000 would be quite stupid...

[MT3269]

Is there a chance trains could also be speed limited like in real life? This would be a significant improvement in the realism side of things.

[LordAzamath]

There is a patch option of wagon speed limit for that, I guess.

[Bilbo]

Well, not the wagons speed limit, but perhaps limiting the speed near level crossings (trains going to crossings have some speed limit for safety, in case some vehicle got stuck there, I think about 120km/h) or other features

[pavel1269]

1) I should easily make that vehicles will slow down on crossing, but it will kill them totaly, but it will be like in real life And with trains, sameone should make that patch

2) new verion, saves CPU

[SergeS]

No - Trains on level crossings don't have any limit as far as i know - HiSpeed railroad is builded without them ... but there is other thing - track for faster trains is mooooore expensive , switches have a speed limit when train is going to the side track and so on

EDIT: Speed limit for level crossing is used only when there is only red lights on crossing - and train must slow down to 40 km/h
EDIT2: Track must be repaired - and it takes some time to do this ... if not - train must slown down on this truck

In czech republic, trains on track with fenced level crossings have limit I think 160 km/h (only one train, Pendolino is actually limited by this). Maximal speed on track with unfenced crossings (usually some rarely-used freight tracks) is lower. These regulations will probably vary by country.
