Road Conditions and Maintenance
Use this feature to make road conditions have a bigger impact on traffic speed.
Overview
The Snowfall DLC introduced new game mechanics relating to road condition: Maintenance and Snow.
Road Maintenance (all map biomes):
Road Maintenance depot sends out trucks to maintain your roads
Well maintained roads allow vehicles to travel slightly faster
Road Maintenance Info View shows road state
Snow Coverage (only Winter biomes):
Snow covered roads cause vehicles to travel more slowly
Studded Tires policy reduces the speed penalty
Snow Dumps send out trucks to clear away the snow
Snow Info View shows road state
There are, however, two notable features missing:
Poorly maintained roads don't incur a speed penalty
On non-Winter biomes, water on roads doesn't incur a speed penalty
You can instruct TM:PE to add those missing features...
Usage
Choose the Road condition has a bigger impact on vehicle speed in Gameplay Settings in Settings:
Once activated, the feature is automatically applied to all roads on the map.
The feature can be disabled at any time by turning off the option in Gameplay settings.
Notes
The maximum speed for a road segment is based on Speed Limits which are then increased or decreased depending on the road conditions as shown in the tables below.
Non-winter biomes
Road wetness | Road condition | Resulting speed modifier |
|---|---|---|
Dry | Maintained | ±0 % |
Wet | Maintained | -25 %, max. 100 km/h |
Dry | Unmaintained | -25 %, max. 80 km/h |
Wet | Unmaintained | -43.75 %, max. 80 km/h |
You can reduce road wetness using the Pumping service, and improve road condition using the Road Maintenance service.
Winter Biome
Snow coverage | Road condition | Studded Tires policy | Resulting speed modifier |
|---|---|---|---|
None | Maintained | Enabled/Disabled | ±0 % |
Covered | Maintained | Enabled | max. 40 km/h |
Covered | Maintained | Disabled | max. 20 km/h |
None | Unmaintained | Enabled/Disabled | -25%, max. 80 km/h |
Covered | Unmaintained | Enabled | -43.75%, max. 40 km/h |
Covered | Unmaintained | Enabled | -43.75%, max. 20 km/h |
You can reduce snow coverage using the Snow Plough service, and improve road condition using the **Road Maintenance ** service.
Individual driving styles
If Individual Driving Styles is enabled, its speed calculations are applied after the road condition calculations above. However, at any time it is guaranteed that the resulting speed limit does not fall below 10 km/h.
