Make Linden Roads Rezable for Easier Vehicle Recovery
under review
Minuit Ferina
For weeks now, sim crossings on the mainland have gotten worse — they're increasingly unreliable, often resulting in lost vehicles, avatars being unseated, or even full disconnections. While resolving sim crossing issues may take time — if it's even fully possible — one simple and impactful improvement would be to make Linden Roads rez-friendly.
Allowing residents to rez vehicles directly on these roads would make it much easier to recover from failed crossings and continue their journey, without having to search for the nearest rez zone.

I've had an idea stewing for a while called "add to sit" this could be a land toggle and where enabled you could say grab a car or bike from inventory and choose "add to sit" and it would rez under your then seated avatar. i don't know the technical aspect, but it would be great to get your vehicle back during a loss or perhaps add a couple walker for events. and since rez doesn't need to be active for it to work there would be no worry of it being abused. and of course unlike attatchable vehicles, this would keep the function the same as any rezzed vehicle for passengers and the like.

Maybe rezzable with a 5 minute return time ?
I can see where it would be useful to have that, but I'm also envisioning the delight of people who enjoy building walls, littering, impeding traffic and playing with large glowing, spinning, and noisy objects...
I'd happily vote for more and larger rez zones on the roads, and rez areas next to roads. Might be a good use for those 16 and 32 abandoned parcels.

Joketsu SommerfeldRoads already are supposed to have 5 or 10 minute return times. Through error, some don't, but a ticket will get that fixed.

Roads, yes. But when you hit a bad crossing, and go wheels over windscreen into ban lines, or a no object parcel that isn’t going to help you.
In some places it could be several regions before you can find a rez zone.
If you’re traveling with a group, that can disrupt your whole outing

Joketsu Sommerfeld I was only pointing out that it was not a change to make the return time for roads 5 or 10 minutes. It seems obvious that with such return times, there's no good reason to not give everyone the ability to rez on them. It would help you plenty if you could just rez another copy of the vehicle on the road and be on your way.

Hello Minuit! Thank you for this suggestion. As time permits around other projects, we can review the availability of rez zones throughout the mainland road and waterway systems, to update areas without nearby rezzable parcels.
Unfortunately, we are unable to open build for an entire passage, as this may have a negative impact on resident-owned parcels in the area.
Keep an eye on this space for any updates!

Oatmeal Linden How would making all public roads and waterways rez zones have a negative impact on anyone if there was 5 minute return?

Oatmeal Linden as i suggested before. If not just keep it as is but allow premium users to rez anywhere that is linden owned (with 5 mins return) this would also help veterans show off cool stuff to new people at welcome hubs.
If anyones worried about griefers just ban them as long as theres evidence of them prim littering/spamming without a refund to of their subscription.
Premium users would then rez things responsibly.
