I now love Blackwood's crossroads

[SO•Huski]

So this happened in-chase, I think Blackwood is now one of the most dangerous tracks in the game!

I tend to slow down at crossroads and look to the sides before i blast through it with sirens blaring. You will be slowed down, yes, but you won't be as slowed down as you will be when you're crashed out

I honestly was going to stop there (Me being the suspect) however I knew the cop was right on my tail, so if I got killed then I'm done, but the chance of him getting killed too. But sadly when I was thinking about it the safety of stopping was lower then actually belting along it.

A lot of TC cop chases I've been in have been filled with split second decisions, which doesn't help when your trying to run safely.

Both cars showed no intention of slowing down, so gg rip. many danger!

Yeah I'm with Ras, I'm not one to play chicken on the cross roads, even with sirens I'll slow down a bit. xD

Fair play though if the COP was on your tail, both should slow down.

This junction is also pretty nasty because you can't see approaching cars from the map when it's crowded, and the visibility is poor.

Even though this'll sound bad, I didn't notice that XFG, I was across just as he would've been in view for completion. Though as I didn't hear an engine it didn't actually occur to me, thankfully though everyone was cool with eachother, hence why I made this video.

Yeah, it is one of the worst ones IMO. Its hard to see with the Rav 4 and brick box in the way from the way your coming, but the bins, fence and tree's make it a bit sucky for this too. Maybe a bridge on this would be very useful for safety, due to this not being all too safe.

-1. Stop creating bridges for everything, them are ugly, not soft, and sometimes, them aren't used as how expected (ie: jumping over them). Irl, we have lots of junctions with low pov, so, if we're on trying to simulate a city, why we should change it? Crashes are part of the life, game, and funny so, try to drive carefull over there, check the map, or try to drive fast and be luck to don't cross anyone

Well the give-way lines are quite clear. If someone blasts through a junction like that and causes an accident then it will always be the guy who didn't observe the give-way line who is at fault.

[Brixton]

Why we don´t make everything one way?
Then forbit the left turn and nobody will ever get another crash.

Come on guys there is no reason to make every point perfectly safe, even on a cruising server. Some accidents bringt some fun and more realistic situations on the server. Crashes bring jobs for COP, RES/MED and TOW.

That's true, although in my example I'm stopped at the junction, I was stopped there for a long time and still ended up touching someone blasting down Main when I carefully turned out. With people parked there it's difficult to see.

That stretch of road should be 50kph anyway , not 100.

I agree since it'll stop //this// happening.

[SO•Marty]

Oh the times I get hit from behind because people dont expect you to stop for a red light...

Also, I notice many people honking at me when I dont drive off when the light is orange before it turns green..
I believe the orange light is meant to engage 1st gear and clutch, not to drive off..

[SO•Yukine]

50 kph and a weird road à la Française.

From what I see IRL (With my parents driving) Orange is when they go.

Well they probably shouldn't.

On red+amber, you can get in gear, release brakes and start rolling. Time it so that when you cross the line and enter the junction, the light just turned green.

What about we install mirrors on the crossings?
