Road-type Options

This set of preferences allows you to set the road type updates for each persistent update. Road type updates are changes applied to a corresponding road type. For a particular road type, you can: set the speed of the roadtype, or change (increase or decrease) the speed of the road type by a value or percentage.

You can add only one road type update at a time by specifying the road type and selecting the desired update to be applied. You can only modify the updates corresponding to a single road type at a time. While modifying, the selected road type and the corresponding updates will be displayed, however you can not change the value of the road type.

Note: Clicking the save button will add all the persistent updates displayed in the list. You can delete updates from this list prior to saving. Once saved, the only way to remove the updates is to reset using the Reset Updates control.
