Suggestion Title: Ability to quickly withdraw road spikes
Suggestion Description: Give us the ability to quickly retract deployed spike strips with the press of the button (I'm thinking of R). If I remember correctly, this is how it should also work in its real life counterpart as you're holding a bar (not modelled) attached to a piece of steel rope to pull away the road spike once they are no longer needed.
Don't remove the ability to crouch down near a spike to pick them back up if that's what some people prefer.
This should only work if you're fairly close to the point where you have deployed the spike strips, I'm thinking up to a maximum of 3 meters (or more?).
Why should this be added?:
-Quality of life update to retrieve your own road spikes way easier without having to position yourself correctly by crouching down near them. A faster removal of these spikes should also help reduce risk to other traffic users and accidental punctures.
What negatives could this have?:
-I can't think of any as this seems more of an improvement to the system. Once they're deployed it already takes quite a bit of time to place them back down again as you need to re-position yourself anyway.
What problem would this suggestion solve?: -Accidental spiking of uninvolved traffic participants.
-The (sometimes) messy system where you have to crouch near your spikes in order to pick them up.
