Map Suggestion Make this parking space a loading space

Not a bad idea for a single parking space close to the entrance

I'd be more in favor of adding a loading zone at the topside (current pavement infront of car dealer), and add casino+car dealer as a extra delivery point.

This would also make that road up top more travelled.

This would force the courier to take a route that is almost twice as long (If they used that space)

True.. but then again, their Job is literally to deliver, and the extra combinable stops at casino and car dealer would mitigate the loss a little.

They don’t have to stop up there if they only have bazaar packages, they can still choose to park in the underground parking. Most PPS drivers I see don’t bother to park af all, and just stop parallel to the bazaar entrance inside the underground parking.

You wouldn't save any time on driving around the other side.

When parking in the designated parking space downstairs in the garage, you can easily just run upstairs and go to casino directly. You spend longer driving around than you would have spent on walking.

Uk friendly image pls

@peeps

Perhaps making this space a loading/unloading area would make more sense since its much easier to park a bigger vehicle in such an open space, and since they usually only have to park for a very short time this wouldnt obstruct traffic flow in the parking area that much. There also is quite enough space here already as I usually already park my courier van here if I play as courier.

This suggestion is specifically a response to that, to give PPS a space that's likely to be open that's the minimal distance from truck-bazaar and parking space-entrance. Especially if they have multiple players, it can add a good 15-30 seconds to each delivery depending on if you're forced to use one of the far spaces. And that's not only not fun for them, it can lead to backlogs if there's only one courier on. Having them park illegally doesn't really work, but it highlights the need for something like this. Having a spot reserved is a simple, and realistic approach to mitigate the issue, and issues it causes either are negligble (The one less "regular" space) or create a legitimate in-character challenge for other players to solve (Potential blocking by an unauthorized vehicle for police/RMOs to act on). I just think it's a super simple and unobtrusive way to slightly improve both courier, and delivery customer experience slightly without any meaningful penalty to other players. Worst case scenario is people have to walk slightly more to the bazaar, but individual players typically don't come and go nearly as often as an individual courier, and likely will not be nearly as affected as the courier. It would be similar to the taxi stand, there's a parking space right next to it at the city hall, but having its own dedicated bay is more convenient and ensures that they won't have to park egregiously out of the way.

Now that I think about it, this space would be a good candidate as well. This parking lot is not super frequently used, but when these first 3-4 spots ARE taken it's a huge extra trip for the courier when they have multiple packages on market street

Or, alternatively a loading bay specifically for PPS inserted here
