^{_{Note: This is a general list of Speed Limits. We have signs that will display on your HUD in city for each road!}}

Officers may clock your speed at any time — and excessive speeding will lead to fines or arrest.

📜 CDL (Commercial Driver’s License)

• A Commercial Driver’s License is required for anyone operating trucks, delivery vehicles, or other commercial-class rides.

• Don’t have one? Expect tickets, seizures, and possible jail time.

⛑️ Seatbelts & Harnesses

• Seatbelts are recommended for everyday driving.

  • Use “B” to toggle your seatbelt.

• Racing harnesses are legal and highly recommended for high-speed or law enforcement vehicles. These must be installed by a mechanic.

• While it’s not a crime to drive without a seatbelt, injuries are more likely during crashes — both mechanically and in RP.

• Buckle up — or risk flying through the windshield.

🚫 Driving Restrictions

• Driving under the influence of substances (excluding alcohol) is strictly prohibited.

• Driving with a BAC of 0.08 or higher is illegal and will result in DUI charges.

• Shooting from a moving vehicle is illegal, unless it’s response or cover fire during an active RP scenario.

• Your vehicle must fit entirely within a single lane. Oversized or misaligned vehicles are considered not road-legal.

• If your vehicle takes up two lanes, you better have a DOT permit — or a good lawyer.

🚨 Emergency Protocol

• At red lights, if emergency vehicles approach with sirens, you may run the light safely to pull over immediately.

• Always yield the right of way to PD, EMS, or Fire when they are responding with lights and sirens.

🔴 Traffic Lights – Treat Like Stop Signs

• Treat every light like a 4-way stop:

  • Come to a complete stop

  • Wait at least 3 seconds

  • Check for traffic and locals

  • Proceed only if it’s clear

  • Running lights like GTA Online is not allowed — we’re telling stories here.
