A fix for the toll booth bullshit that people do

Recommended Posts

Make it so that you have to stay at the toll booth for 5 minutes to operate the barrier.

'Friends'/a single driver activating them by themselves = unrealistic and people are abusing it when there's nobody around.

If you're standing there for 5 minutes, you wouldn't be able to activate it. What if a vehicle passes by and would like to pass? They'll normally /paytoll and the money gets forwarded to the individual working at the booth (automatic /togglebooth, as if there's nobody working there then the automation stops after a period of time where you would have to toggle it yourself whatever the reason behind it, a variety of things to do out of this from working for real to trolling and allowing your friends through for free, the player would either have to forcibly pay to the worker or the worker who wants to allow their friends through for free will have to wait 5 minutes in order to operate it through the command) BUT, there has to be a 5 or 10 minutes delay nearly equivalent to the time you have to be standing there in order to get paid and activate the booth so that people wouldn't be farming it without using any commands + there would be afkmath.

It's now nearly impossible for most vehicles to go through the toll booth since it was changed from breakable to unbreakable for the sake of realism, but what people are doing now is not in the favor of realism and a lot of people do it a day.

Just look at this: https://streamable.com/sirtkr A Comet Retro owner doesn't want to pay '$250' and prefers to abuse the script to get through the booth and break the realism barriers. What the fuck.

Trying to avoid them so that they could pay it on their own without cheating their way in (which is IC, what they did is an abuse, it is understandable that they could get arrested for that, but realistically, this shouldn't happen, but that's the reason why it was fixed, right? SD had to mainly camp there because of people unrealistically breaking it, there was no other way and there's still an issue going). We have speed cams (linked to OOC reasons, according to head administrators words) so we should have this go the way suggested (and link it to) >> because this is unrealistic and reports wouldn't fix it or make it less as they would get insta-denied. This is to make things a little realistic because you don't go in a toll booth and print a receipt of $0 to your friend allowing him to go through for free or a solo driver printing up a receipt for himself to get through for free? Then what's the purpose of making it work and paying up when there's nobody working in a booth?

Reports for NRP behaviour are not applicable here because there are no 'major losses', its something that has to be fixed scriptly. This doesn't impact me, doesn't impact anyone, but I find what people do there pathetic and annoying.

Thats how he stays rich 😆😆

P.S. I dislike booth since day 1, would scrap it fully since only problems occur, quality roleplay never been seen.

Nobody works there anymore. A lot of people crash on the north side of that road (going into Paleto), and Paleto has had lower traffic for the last while.

If what you said was enforced, people who be given a choice of paying $300 to the government (since nobody is on duty), or else avoid that road. I know that I don't mind adding a couple of seconds extra to my journey to avoid that road.

If there's nobody on-duty and people do that for the purpose mentioned. This is not about your desire or will to do something, it's you who makes up your own choices, you decide not to use Route 1 because you're forced to pay, sure go ahead and use Senora's Freeway, if you're willing to pay to use this road, no matter what, you would do that without the need of doing what they did in the attached video. Whether there's somebody or not on-duty, you should pay up without doing such poor actions to get through for free, players who have thousands and millions of money do that, even to your character based on the assets, discourtesy to a game-server which mainly targets resembling our daily life and to derive our actions off it.
