Things That Should Be Corrected, Improved & New Ideas.

The overuse of road signs needs to be reduced. I don't know if this is normal in California or not.
There's like a (EX. "I-80 WEST Cityname here") sign every.. 1000 FT, it seems like. In RL they should be seperated by.. say, 5 miles?

I expected to see a simple interstate marker on the side of the road, like in RL.

Also, for goodness sakes, if you're going to block the god damn road to the LA Convention Center, don't do it at the bottom of the ramp. The blocked off ramps are annoying enough. But stopping on the ramp and the only way to get back on the interstate is to go in reverse..

Also, implement more of the California traffic rules into the game. Why post these "tips" that have nothing to do with trucking traffic laws, when hardly any of them are in the game?
Such as keep the so-called "fast lane" (left lane) clear of 35MPH-going AI drivers.

Well when you think of the map being 1-10th scale I would say the road signs are enough. I do agree with the traffic tho mate they do go too damn slow It's worse when you are on a single carriage lane and you cannot avoertake

IMO, they still overdid the signs. I know the roads are 1-10th the scale, but that doesn't mean they should do this.

Go to Temecula via I-15N. You'll see two signs showing the same thing infront of the Temecula Warehouse overpass. Both saying;
"Los Angeles
I-15 NORTH" (which doesn't make sense because I-15 doesn't go to LA in real life. Especially when going North)
This is a perfect example of signs being overdone.

One other thing, and I can't believe they left this typo go unnoticed. But what was to be the exit to Pasadena (the picture of the epic road sign in Los Angeles a few years ago), was changed to;
"Harbor Fwy
Downdown"
Should be changed to "Downtown". Not like it NEEDS to be changed, but it's confusing.

I agree with your statements. I especially like the part about interstate markers. This would be greatly appreciated, and add more realism to the game. As for the ramps... I fell for this too. Why bother putting up a blockade at the end of an exit if it's going nowhere from the main highway?? When I did it I had a bob-tailer behind me so, my only choice was to ram it, or reload a previous saved game. I opted for the reload so, I wouldn't have to pay a fine.

The AI traffic really needs to be overhauled. These complaints are all over the forum. I once had a car appear in front of me at night on an empty highway with me doing about 90mph. Good thing I have lots of saves!! 35mph on a lightly filled highway is a joke, and you wouldn't see that on a real highway unless it was for a bottleneck, a popular exist ramp, construction, or accident/rubbernecking.
