Speedtraps

So if you sit right on a border we might tell you to move a few meters.

Also in germany the law is a bit different, as you are only allowed to place speedtraps 75-200m(some regions have more some less) behind a new speedlimit sign. There can be exceptions in front of schools/nursing homes.

Going a little bit off-topic, but this is a (German) urban myth. By law you are obliged to slow down before the sign and be within the speedlimit when passing the sign. It's just an internal recommendation of the police not to do it. However, if you get measured and fear to lose your driver's license, you can appeal in court to this decision. Payment has to be done in any case. Many people get this wrong.

I agree that TC servers do not have any traffic signs, but it is quite obvious where to slow down (there are even overview maps available here). Furthermore speedtraps aren't online 24/7 (as in opposite to real life) but just for ten minutes.

Imho this discussion is going nowhere. In the end, it is a cruising server with a neat and nice cop/robber game mechanic. If anybody wants to race on layouts, TC is probably the wrong place to be then.
