My biggest gripe: it won’t slow down in construction zones

From the Driver’s Seat · Jun 17, 2026 · v14.3.4

Kansas City is one long construction season, so this one matters to me more than most. Even on 14.3.4 the car still doesn’t seem to want to slow down through the work zones, and that is my biggest gripe right now. The release notes and a few of the YouTube guys say construction handling got smoother this build, and maybe it did around the flashing arrow boards. But smoother and slower aren’t the same thing. When I’m rolling past barrels and a lane that’s narrowed down, I want to feel the car ease off, and mostly it just holds its pace. I’ll keep an eye on it. For right now the work zones are where my foot is closest to the brake.
