Do roads on world map = high traffic?

[Capt. Willard]

I wanted to play as highwaymen that set up a blocked on a major trade route between npc settlements. Does anyone know how well the world map reflects the amount of traffic you get if you place a settlement on a large highway?

None, visitors, raiders, and traders are controlled purely by the storyteller, world location doesn't matter. This is evident when you play on a single tile island and still have visitors.

with this mod, settlements send out convoys themself, and as far as i've seen, they will prefere the fastest route, and this is most times using the roads

There may be a mod that can change that.
Lookie there, he found one right as I said it

I hope in time they change this somewhat. There's some missed opportunity here I think. There are some mods that simulate a more dynamic world map, but there are limits to suspension of disbelief.
