Is there a way to disable road movement_speed bonus?

So when a vehicle in this game touches the road and starts moving on it, it'll move much faster (driving speed increases).

I have a vehicle_unit in my mod, which I don't want that bonus to apply to it when it touches road terrain. How do I disable it for this unit? I tried looking into its _moving but I couldn't find anything that matches what I'm looking for.

It is tied to the terrain type, and not to the vehicles. You would have to make a map that doesn't utilize the texture from "road_asphalt", at least, to me as a mapper.

A modder might be able to help you more, but I am not entirely sure that this isn't just tied 100% to textures, since that would mean that crates/ditches that have cover tied to it would also be coded into units that utilize it, which would be strange.

Speed multipliers are set to cover types. A few years ago water did slow down soldiers, but they changed the speed_multiplier of water for each soldier entity.

All roads are negative cover, so you can edit the cover_ext in your ebps vehicle:
