No. Old Turku was just a copy/paste from Bratislava city, and it is very good, that this city will get a rebuilded road's structure, in that's way make that city more unique.

The one with 1 lane straight and 1 lane for exit ? Yes, this one is gone.

Also I take here some time to give infos about comments I have read :

-Turku castle : maybe if I find some model in game who can represent it.
-Port : it's still the existing one who was customized for Finland (Silja Line logo). You can already drive on it and go on the ferry. Maybe I could use one of the new ferries from DLC with it.
-Ring road of Turku is represented (maybe not so important than IRL) but exists between road VT8 to Pori and VT1 to Helsinki. It's shown on my map and will be numbered '40' when I will do the pictures for this.
-Finnish road lines are now under development. We will see how to install them.
- New ferry from DLC to Helsinki : Sorry, but no. A minimum of ferries give the best results when GPS generates itinary. In this case, GPS would always prefer the ferry instead of the Turku-Helsinki road.
- Speed limits : normally I think there's no problem with this actually.
- Custom interchanges : Sorry but my personal opinion is that the SCS prefabs are not bad. I do sometimes custom interchanges, but not for all junctions. Maybe other people from the team would like to do this later, but for me it's not a priority.
- Bauhaus : I can't add every company in every city ;)
- Original Turku was indeed a copy of another city and needed rebuilding ;)
- Other cities will also receive some new DLC companies and texture changes using stuff from DLC north.
- Pori and Vaasa will be the next cities to be added

Thanks for your comments ;)

Good evening,
Platypus

Hopefully someone else on the team is willing to do the custom junctions...

Thank you for the answers Platypus. Maybe someone can make custom interchanges, if there are any room for it. I do especially looking forward to Vaasa, because it will be a connection to the coast of Northern Sweden(Umeå), and it is the most northern ferry connection in the Gulf of Bothnia.

I don't really care about the realism (aka whether the interchange is there in real life or isn't), but what worries me about this current design is that you have to slow down alot. :?

The odd thing is though, trucks normally do drive much slower than cars. Or they should at least! ;)
