British Isles Development

[The big dog 1984]

i know the roads well, being from the highlands (ex-pat living in cider country)

I just visited the UK since a very long time in the game, and while the PM areas do look outstanding, and very authentic I did noticed the general sparseness of rest areas, gas stations or at least some roadside bays. For example between London and Exeter on the M3 > A303 > A30 there's absolutely ZERO opportunities to stop and that is a more than 6 hours drive, so please be more generous with them if possible.

Oh and also with some of the city area boxes, I don't think it's normal that the drive from one industrial area of Exeter to another should take 3 hours. But otherwise the UK does start to look very very nice thanks to you guys.

We could do with maybe a rest stop on the north part of the M25 because there has been a lot of times coming over from the Channel tunnel where I've had to take a detour to the rest stop on the south part of the m25. There could be one on the A1 junction which would be a little bit before the M1 junction as there is actually a service station on that roundabout.

There are signs for services, so perhaps they do have plans to add South Mimms ? It's gonna be a tricky roundabout to emulate though, lots of lanes and traffic pathways to have to juggle with.
Though if it's aiming for realism then you'd be lucky to get a space for the night in there anyways haha !

South Mimms roundabout is already in the game. it is currently just there as a u turn spot though and i doubt there are any plans to connect the A1 there

[raceidiot]

I mean there isn't any point in putting the A1 in but would it be possible to put a services there seeing as there is one irl. It would mean I wouldn't have to detour through london or take the south m25 to rest if you're heading north. Also I mean just because I feel like the M25 should have more than one service station.

Are there plans to rebuild Birmingham and the roads leading to it?

Hi all. I was looking through some older threads about cities that need to be added, and by golly, Bristol and Bangor aren't already in the game, anyone know what happened? I'd like to see what Bristol would look like, but other city suggestions:
- Bristol (Already mentioned)
- Bangor (Already mentioned - Adjacent to folded dumb-bell parclo in Wales or in Northern Ireland?)
- Leeds
- Lincoln or Boston
- Morton (Would need to revamp M8 first to achieve this)
- Ayr
- Isle of Wight
- Lundy (Small company island)

just had my first job in Ireland since the latest update so naturally i went through Dublin as a little detour and i have to say the rebuild is absolutely amazing, great work as always

Don't forget Oxford, Milton Keynes, Redditch (The one with the famous cloverleaf), Welshpool, Builth Wells (both in Wales) and Perth, Pitlochry, Stirling.
What I'd suggest for town/city expansions: Stranraer, Dumfries, Chelmsford, Fishguard, Holyhead.
Revamps: M8 to Morton as suggested, not to forget Ayr, with new junction for M8 and M74, ETS2 M74 north is gonna need to be turned into M73, A9 revamped to include Perth and Pitlochry, M90 and A9 meet at Broxden Roundabout in Perth, with M9 up to Stirling. M42, M6 Toll added, revamp A14, M62 extended to near Hull, revamp junction next to northern end of Humber Bridge, remove all the irregular diamond and trumpet junction, plus the parclo ones, replace them with modern standard ones.
