Before Promods went MP, I thought the Kirkenes Death Road was 100% perfect, until a server of over 1400 tries to cram themselves down the road at once.
It now takes me anywhere from one to THREE hours to make it one way down the road. Very fun, but the congestion at the bottom makes the experience one to remember.

Adding a gas station and parking lot right at the end beside the shipping yard at the bottom would help relieve a lot of the backed up traffic experienced at the moment and make it much easier to complete the multi-hour journy on one tank without requesting an emergency fill 10 times.

Please take it into consideration, Kirkenes death road riders depend on it lol

We would actually like to discourage people from taking this road, there are many other similar places in the map that can be explored. Certainly expanding it to make it wider or put services/facilities there would be undesirable

Expanding it would make it undesirable yes, because then it'd be just like the rest of the map. But with this road absolutely blowing up on youtube and the Promods TMP server getting more and more popular, something will need to be done. In the very least a station at the bottom for us to park at before making the trip back up is requested. I asked the chat while I was at the bottom and everyone whom responded agreed. Don't change the road, just add a parking area at the bottom to relieve congestion.

If a parkinglot exists in real life, we could consider it. If not, it's not going to be there.

There are plenty of other beautiful roads in ProMods, which are really empty in MP.
Drive there for a change.

Regarding that Kirkenes road.
I have a suggestion. Make the time go as in a city.
Why?
Time and distance would be way closer to reality.
Yes, it is sort of a fantasy road, but anyway.

That would be a very odd thing to do too IMO.

It's easier to just drive somewere less crowded and with the same beauty. So many place are nearly untouched by MP users.

I see this road as a risk you take on your own choice. You don't need to drive there.
IMO nothing should change. Drive there at your own risk.
If you don't like the mayham happening there? Drive there on singleplayer. If you don't want that? Complain to the other drivers, not to us.

Just as in real life, of you don't like the road, or find it too busy? Don't drive there.

No clue if you answered to me or not.
But my suggestion is for single player + as a bonus to the multiplayer part.
In ingame time, that route takes... was it around 8-10hours? back and forth.
Atleast years ago, unless anything changed there.

@Shiva It was an overall response, not one at you :)

Sometimes complains are just annoying, 'cause they're so easy to solve...
