Increased Road Speed Limit

Description
Tired of too low road speed limit at certain cities and states? Think of your semi shouldn't crawling like turtle at weigh stations? Your delivery job get hours late and the city roads slowing you down?

Increased Road Speed Limit mod increase the road speed limits in the game, allow you to push your truck speed even further along the way. With this mod, you get flat 40 MPH (64 KPH) speed limits in the city and around 80-90 MPH (128-145 KPH) out of the town. At certain places such as Weigh Station and slower speed areas you get flat 30 MPH (48 KPH) speed limits.

Note:
When enabling this mod or get a mod update, initial game loading will takes longer than usual to update road caches. This is normal.


Starting from game version 1.49, the speed limit for Special Transports (requires Special Transport DLC) was also increased. Instead of 40 MPH, a maximum limit of 65 MPH is now permitted unless restricted by lower speeds indicated by speed limit signs. Because the front escort vehicle can slow down or stop suddenly, it is highly recommended that you speed up your truck to the maximum only on freeways.

Not yet. I will update it to support 1.54 once the beta goes more stable. At this moment 1.54 beta still has several major bugs.

Unfortunately only through modding, and mods has no way to offer some kind of config file to simplify the changes. Also, each NPC vehicle has it's own maximum speed. Most NPC vehicles have top speed at about 100 MPH (160 Km/h). Only certain vehicles such as Chevy Impala and Police Crown has a top speed of 186 MPH (300 Km/h).

hiya madman, great mod. question; is there a way to manually change the speed limit to be a bit higher? I don't typically drive reckless, it's just i like seeing ai vehicles speeding. even on city roads.

@Fabian :D
It's been described in the "Known Limitations" section Pt.1 in the description, also under "Speed Limit Differences" section. That's because almost speed limits indicated by the road signs in ATS are hard-coded in the map data. To get true speed limit for your truck, set "Route Advisor Speed Limit" option to "Show Truck Limit" in the Gameplay settings, and follow Speed Limit indicated by the Route Advisor and GPS dashboard. And yes, NPC vehicles will follow the new speed limits.

that means as that e.g. a sign that says 30 miles speed limit on it but the game thinks that 35 is the speed limit?
and Do the Ai vehicles also adhere to the new speed limits? sry for my bad english
