STOP sign: special waypoint vs. traffic-sign drawing
Updated
There are two different "STOP" items, and they are
not the same thing.
Special STOP sign - this is the red, round icon.
- It is a real, GPS-validated waypoint: the system checks whether the rider actually stopped at it.
- Penalty applies if the rider does not stop - currently a 3-minute penalty if the speed within the stop-point radius (30 m) exceeds 1 km/h. (configurable in the event penalty settings)
- As a rider, you have to stop here and continue as soon as you see 0km/h displayed on your dashboard.
STOP traffic-sign drawing.
- It is just a drawing on the roadbook - a visual reminder of a real-world road sign.
- No GPS logic and no penalty - the system does not check anything at it.
- If you only want to illustrate a road sign, use the drawing.
