Speed Bumps

[ThatDutchPerson]

Anything to stop people hitting trucks weighing a ton in their Panto’s and decide a mild scratch is all they got.

It's been approved like a year ago, it just needs a good speed bump item... so it doesn't become a ramp and GTA W turns into jackass 

Sweet, this object looks pretty legit and not a ramp tbh.

Speed bumps exist in real life as well and they don't cause any issues with response time for that very reason.

Homicides are 1000 times less common in real life than they are in this game. No thanks.

but to clear the intersection

 

Yeah good luck clearing intersections when you're trying to keep up with a ricer sportscar half the server has. Your comment is full of idealism but has no practical use.

That doesn't mean you speed through every intersection and don't slow down to them. Proper emergency response means slowing down at intersections in order to clear them, because not doing so could result in dangerous accidents and killing other people/your character as a result of that.

So my character made this a big agenda last year when local politics RP was a thing. It was wildly requested IC and OOC. But yeah, the chosen objects for the speedbumps had people going through their windshields, which... ngl, /hilarious/. But also, not realistically what a speed bump should do... 

If they can find an appropriate item for it, this should absolutely be on residential roads. It is practical, regardless of what some may think.

In Real Life, maybe. On this server where we have maybe 50 players out driving at any one time it's a waste of time. Most intersections are going to be empty, and civilians are supposed to yield to sirens.

 

And if your argument is that " But you're supposed to imagine the traffic " then all cars should be limited to 60 miles inside the city via script cause there's no way in hell you're blasting 120 mph away from cops through downtown LA.

Then you lose them, try to get their plate or something to identify them and arrest them later.

Just because you have sirens on, doesn't mean that everyone hears them, from RP sense, they could have music blasting or simply not paying attention. From OOC perspective, people could be blasting music or not have headset/speakers on or not paying attention. Look at any videos of IRL LEO's responding to anything and you'll always see them considerably slowing down for intersections to make sure to clear them.

 

I guarantee it if you get in a crash without following appropriate procedures, you'll be at fault.

Honestly speaking, you're showcasing very serious case of play to win mentality, whichever faction you are part of, they should reconsider letting you stay in it.

The simple fact is you are not supposed to throw proper LEO portrayal (such as clearing intersections, not choosing to chase someone 120mph through LS Downtown, etc) out of the window just to catch someone or to get to a shooting first just so you can get to go pew pew.

Part of roleplay is also losing, I hope you can learn that.

Also only thing you'll achieve is getting into a crash and putting your faction under a bad image.
