=== Town Safety Zones ===
There is a safety zone around each town (except Firelight) that simulates the desire of the general populace to keep the warfare out of the town proper.

When your vehicle is within this zone you will receive a message that your car is within the town limits and can escape safely.  It is not necessary to be beyond the 350m escape distance in order to escape safely into a town.

It is important to note that the NPC vehicles have this capability as well, and they will use it if they become demoralized or if they are "losing" the battle and decide to escape.  As a result, it is not uncommon to have enemy cars disappear in the middle of the combat if you are fighting close to the city limits.

Firelight is currently the only town without a safety zone.  When attempting to escape 'into the city' you must reach the standard escape distance of 350 meters regardless of your proximity to the city walls, gates, or buildings.

'''NOTE:''' The town safety zones do '''not''' exist/function when participating in the Militia v. Pirates Town Defense PvP events.
