@madman, missed this mod when it wasn't updated until a couple weeks ago, glad it's working again. :) I sent you an email, can you reply when you can, thank you. :) :steamhappy:

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.
Fabian :D 31 Oct, 2024 @ 10:51am 
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
madman  [author] 17 Oct, 2024 @ 6:33am 
Updated to 1.52. Enjoy. :steamhappy: :steamthumbsup:

aLn 1 Oct, 2024 @ 10:29am

A player testimony from @Dietatietor at August 10, 2024 partly said:

‟I tried this mod and I like it even without the traffic offence, since the random cars/trucks also speed up as I saw, so my traffic is more fluid and I am not constantly stuck behind a car it seems.”
aLn 30 Sep, 2024 @ 8:27pm 
does it also make AI drive faster? if so, it would be good

@trainguy_gaming
No one reported any bug in this mod but you. The proper test for a suspected mod is by creating a new profile and put only that suspected mod. There was a thread posted recently that has similar issue (and without this mod). The problem is about the mod load order, probably map mod.

trainguy_modding 27 Sep, 2024 @ 1:06pm 
@madman Any updates? :)
trainguy_modding 17 Sep, 2024 @ 10:55pm 
@madman I can confirm this mod has a bug, I'm having no problems without it.
trainguy_modding 17 Sep, 2024 @ 9:18pm 
@madman I already did and it went away after I deactivated this mod, I tested this mod as well as my version of the mod and they both were giving me problems.
madman  [author] 17 Sep, 2024 @ 8:53pm 
@trainguy_gaming
Disable/deactivate this mod and check if the problem gone. If still remains, most probably conflict with your other outdated mod.
trainguy_modding 17 Sep, 2024 @ 10:39am 
@madman Seems to be all over Arkansas
madman  [author] 17 Sep, 2024 @ 3:39am 
@trainguy_gaming
Can't test it myself until weekend. What kind of bug? Location?
trainguy_modding 16 Sep, 2024 @ 10:02pm 
@madman I'm experiencing speed limit bugs with the Arkansas when using this mod
trainguy_modding 30 Aug, 2024 @ 8:41pm 
@madman Thank you for keeping this updated and letting me use this as reference. Did you get my email? :)
Dietatietor 9 Aug, 2024 @ 2:41pm 
"This mod wasted if you always turned off Traffic Offence option when playing the game" - not for me it isn't wasted. I tried this mod and I like it even without the traffic offence, since the random cars/trucks also speed up as I saw, so my traffic is more fluid and I am not constantly stuck behind a car it seems. I will test more. Liked! Thanks.
trainguy_modding 30 May, 2024 @ 10:15pm 
@madman I'm not having the problem anymore. That was strange... I don't know what caused that bug.
trainguy_modding 25 May, 2024 @ 11:09pm 
@madman I'm not using any other mod but yours. But I'll try again.
madman  [author] 25 May, 2024 @ 10:34pm 
@trainguy_gaming
Can't reproduce to what you said. Been tested starting from McCook along route 136 to the right-end at the scenic view area and return to McCook. Put this mod on your top most priority and try again. Possible cause is your other outdated mod.
madman  [author] 25 May, 2024 @ 12:00pm 
@trainguy_gaming
Ok I'll check on that. Thanks.
trainguy_modding 21 May, 2024 @ 10:08pm 
@madman I spotted a bug, on highway 136 in Nebraska and I'm sure everywhere else in Nebraska if the road speed limit says 35, the route advisor says an odd speed limit like 22, 24, 34, etc. Instead of showing +5 or +10 then the posted speed limit. I know this is a bug from this mod because it says the appropriate speed limit on the route advisor. I hope this gets fixed.
trainguy_modding 20 May, 2024 @ 4:50pm 
@madman it's ok buddy, did you get my email?
madman  [author] 19 May, 2024 @ 11:27am 
Support for 1.50 is out. I'm so sorry for the delay.
trainguy_modding 17 May, 2024 @ 11:37pm 
@Luxury Yang I hope he updates it tomorrow.
Luxury Yang 17 May, 2024 @ 6:47pm 
up up up 1.50:steamthis:
trainguy_modding 17 May, 2024 @ 12:07pm 
@madman I emailed you. Did you get it? :)
madman  [author] 13 May, 2024 @ 2:18pm 
@ trainguy_gaming
After Nebraska out at May 16. Hopefully the 1.50 final release not get announced before the time.
trainguy_modding 13 May, 2024 @ 12:57pm 
@madman when you update this for 1.50?
yytreex 11 Mar, 2024 @ 8:16pm 
whats going on? its not working and its the same for others
Roel Postma 8 Mar, 2024 @ 8:08am 
If you use it when driving VTLog, your job will be canceled after completing it. It is a forbidden mod in that Log!!
geno2733 23 Jan, 2024 @ 7:44pm 
I like the idea of higher speeds for weight stations, as it's weigh-in-motion IRL unless they flag you to go park for a DOT inspection. It's usually 15-20 through scales, not 30.
kretschmer 17 Dec, 2023 @ 11:30pm 
nono, then I use this mod, hehe, thx for answer.
madman  [author] 17 Dec, 2023 @ 4:20am 
@kretschmer
As a mod author, I recommend this mod because it's better than others. :steammocking:

(You can try both and choose which one is better)
kretschmer 17 Dec, 2023 @ 1:33am 
i use this mods for the moment...
kretschmer 17 Dec, 2023 @ 1:32am 
OK, thank you...but which one can you recommend?
madman  [author] 16 Dec, 2023 @ 4:10am 
@kretschmer
Basically the same. He get the base concept of this mod to develop his own "limit".
kretschmer 16 Dec, 2023 @ 2:46am 
madman  [author] 27 Sep, 2023 @ 5:42pm 
@benbrandon
This mod has nothing to do with truck speed limiter. Also, 65 MPH limit during WoT jobs is hardcoded in the game. WoT server will also tracking your position and resync after few minutes if detect your travel length exceed 65 MPH average speed. So no, no mod can alter it whatsoever.
benbrandon 27 Sep, 2023 @ 4:56pm 
does this allow you to go faster then 65 mph while doing external contracts. if not anyone know of a mod that does?
madman  [author] 20 Sep, 2023 @ 10:20am 
@trainguy_gaming
It is advisable to create standalone Road Speed Limit mod only for Reforma map. You should keep in touch with the Reforma map author on how to modify it without conflicts with the game base map, map DLCs, and other mods.
trainguy_modding 20 Sep, 2023 @ 8:48am 
@madman Can you tell me how I would add support for Reforma?
