Like Athens was too close to Greece?

Oh yeah! Forgot Bayern was the region. Thought it was a city, quite silly indeed!

Is there a plan for build the A14 near Magdeburg?

[LA-MJ]

Could someone please explain the HH-[X] thing I keep seeing on all the signs? It makes navigating without a map in ARP a bit of a struggle.

[martinusK]

AFAIK HH stands for Hamburg, but if you see it all over northwestern Germany, then can't help you.

[M4rkus]

It means Hansestadt Hamburg - Hansestadt is a historical reference to the Hanse in which a lot of coastal cities (such as Rostock/HRO and Bremen/HB, Lübeck/HL and many more) were organized. It's some kind of flagship name.

Does that explain why Hamburg's numberplates are HH?

[M4rkus]

Yes, and also why Bremens license plates are HB and Rostock's are HRO. There is a remarkable number of cities wearing this title, some of which that have it as number plate as well, many of them not in the game (HST - Stralsund, HGW - Greifswald, HWI - Wismar, HL - Lübeck).

And speaking of which, and since you are a German citizen, do you think SCS have got the numberplate letters right (because in game Rostock is ROS)?

[M4rkus]

Yeah, that's an issue with the numberplates (and not the only one). Coincidentally, I submitted a bug report to SCS about that and changed the numberplate definition so in a later official update there might be official changes about that.
