How to bypass Police barriers in Schedule 1

Police barriers are an extreme nuisance in Schedule 1, and they can become a major hurdle if you’re not careful.

Every player (myself included) has likely fallen into trouble with the cops at least once. The barriers are major obstacles when you use a car for your daily commute. This guide will provide you with all the useful tips you need to avoid police barriers in Schedule 1.

What are Police barriers in Schedule 1?

Police barriers are roadblocks placed on strategic points of the map, and the cops man them. There are two of them that appear in the existing version:

• One on the road that lets you access the Docks.
• One on the road that goes from the front of Taco Ticklers over the sewer canal.

The police barriers are typically in place between 12 pm and 5 am, so you don’t have to worry about them during the morning.

When you get to a police barrier, you will be searched by the cops. If any banned substances are found on you, you’ll go to jail. If you’re traveling by car, your vehicle will be searched. This creates a massive issue when using a car to move some products around. I often face issues since my main operational base is at the Docks warehouse.

How to manage Police barriers in Schedule 1?

On the bright side, if you don’t carry banned substances on your person or in your car, there’s no need to worry. But since we’re not exactly noble citizens in this game, we have to get around this, and here’s how I do it.

When using my car, I park it close to the barrier, but not so close that the police come over to search it. I then add some of the items to my hot bar and use the sidewalk, which allows you to bypass the barrier. From there, I run to the docks, store the product, and go back to the vehicle. Doing this twice is usually enough to transfer all the items in my car without getting caught.

If you get too close to the barrier, the police will approach to search you. To escape, make sure to run (you’ll see “evade arrest” on screen) as the cops try to arrest you. If you manage to evade the police, you’ll keep all your products.

And that’s how to bypass police barriers. Yes, the answer is to use the sidewalk. It’s that simple. Just don’t get caught!
