@Poltergeist turns out it's just a stupid idea to haul huge trailers on tiny roads at 5 pm regardless of which, if any, traffic mod you're using. I pulled my head out of my ass and did the same run at 9pm with this mod and it was smooth as butter. 100% operator error on my part.

@GravityWon I feel ya. You can always remove this mod and try out the Urban City Overhaul mod on the SCS forum. That mod enhances the traffic density in and around big cities, but keeps the vanilla density on all the other small roads.

I had used this mod in the past and gone back to Real Traffic Density but actually whilst I was waiting for their 1.54 update I returned to this mod and am sticking with it. The AI drivers are much snappier about reacting to things, changing lanes and driving at speed. Obviously it isn't perfect and the start stop at the green light for roadworks is infuriating but on the whole this is a very accomplished mod and way better than the stock traffic. Let's hope one day SCS overhaul the whole system and get us a lot closer to something more realistic, but that doesn't seem to be an area of their focus for whatever reason. Thanks in the mean time.

nice mod

low fps 1.54 with this mod

Thanks for the update, great work.

Nice idea but ultimately unusable for anyone wishing to do heavy hauling on logging and tight mountain roads. The density of traffic is the same when you're on a dirt road 20 miles from anything as it is when you're on the freeway in LA, It becomes impossible to navigate the tight turns when theres AI traffic doing 60 mph around a blind corner and slamming into your trailer. That being said, if you only do highway and normal city driving then I can't see any reason not to use this mod. Its fantastic in every scenario apart from the ones mentioned above.

game crashed immediately after sleeping

Nice job, one of best traffic mode. Dont abandon this useful mod, keep up!

Works be fine on 1.53 I hope you will continue to update it, it's very useful as a mod! Thanks for ur work

best traffic mod since years, thanks for this

I have tried many traffic mods and this is the best in my opinion; it works excellently.

does g_traffic mess up the ratio's and times of the density of the mod

Excellent! The traffic mod I used for the longest time broke with the 1.53 update. Thanks so much.

Thanks for the 1.53 update. All seems fine on my end. <3

I've updated the mod with the new parameters. Let me know if you still encounter any issues.

As usual, I've re-uploaded the old version of this mod to a new page, linked at the top of the description. For those choosing to run on old versions of the game.

Hi. I noticed in 1.53 some new lines for example in "traffic_rules_spawn.sui" extracted from def/world folder:
traffic_rule_data : traffic_rule.s_trm_u
{
# name: "Spawn density medium trucks urban"

rule: "density"

str_params[]: "lanes: 0.5 0.3 0.2"

str_params[]: "truck_medium" ...........
On most trucks and busses this "str_params[]: "lanes: 0.5 0.3 0.2" is new.
I wonder if this has to be transferred to Your mod, and if i transfer those it could affect this mod in some way? Thanks.

Updated to 1.53 ?

Does it work for 1.52 as well?

Hi Woopzilla! :) Thanks for this mod by the way!

Still has some error running causing a little stuttering

[traffic_rule] Error initializing traffic rule from data (s_truck_c_u)
[traffic_rule] Error initializing traffic rule from data (s_truck_c_u)[traffic_vehicle_chain] Invalid vehicle type 'truck_city'!

Tested and it comes from this mod

I've updated the car_city variable to its new name, hopefully that fixes it.

But I don't recognise the files or path from the other error posted. It might be a conflict with another mod in your case @mayto.

It sounds it may be something to do with the taffic_lane.sii file from /def/world/ folder. But this mod only includes and changes the traffic_rules_spawn.sui file. Sorry to be of no help, but maybe verifying game files might help if it's not another mod.

I receive error in game log when using this traffic pack :

[traffic_rule] Error initializing traffic rule from data (s_car_c_u)
[traffic_vehicle_chain] Invalid vehicle type 'car_city'!

going on non stop

Sorry to bother, but crashes my game with this:

<ERROR> d:\buildbot\slaves\win_slave\final_build_ats_151_windows_bin_steam_x64\build\prism\eurotrucks\game\traffic\traffic.cpp(277): ?init@traffic_u@prism@@QEAAXXZ: [traffic] No traffic lane types defined!

Excellent mod, too bad there isn't the version for ETS2 too ;)

Think there a bug cause my game keeps crashing on loading screen with this mod since yesterday only but works fine before

This is the best traffic mod I know of so far. I'm very happy with it and hope it stays here.

I love it! Late night/early morning there is hardly any traffic. Day time can get very busy. There are well mannered and idiot NPCs. Well balanced and believable.

感谢你制作MOD的同时也感谢你提供的教程。都非常有用
Thank you for making the mod and thank you for the tutorial. All very useful

Thank you for the update!

Does this makes those stupid AI holding up traffic in a 80mph zone ( doing like 30 ) move FASTER ?

* "traffic stuck"

Had traffics tucked when I was doing special mission, had to reload the save to get rid of all the accumulated vehicles. :D Dunno if this happens in vanilla too.

Thank you fishberg!

i need this in ets 2 plzzz

@mister.hister real traffic density adds realistic urban traffic but can eat your fps up. this is less realistic but more sensible for gameplay without being stuck at an intersection for 4 light cycles. i like both but i'm currently using this over that cause even RTD at 0.6 g_traffic, it was too much traffic especially in smaller towns. good thing about RTD it creates extra classes of vehicles(classic,motorbikes and sports car) if you're using jazzycat ai traffic pack as seperate spawns

Is there any way for you to make this mod available for ETS2 in the future?

This is fantastic! Fluid traffic that is still reasonably believable, I am loving it. Thank you!

A very tasteful traffic mod!

How does this one compare to Real Traffic Density mod? Is it better? In what ways?

mt brabo

Can Jazzy Cat's mods be used with this one or are there issues?

this is the best traffic mod iv used in year pls make a version of this for ETS2 aswell

Theres another update today, does this still work?

Thanks for the update

@Woopzilla Thanks to you for maintaining the best traffic mod. Now I don't get those errors anymore.

After using every singe Traffic mod out there and none of them doing a good job I've finally found the holy grail! Thank you! I can actually notice the variance in traffic at different times.
I could notice this mod working right away when a car cut me off far closer than the vanilla game or any other mod did, this helps a lot with traffic jams.
The best thing I think is watching the AI getting into actual accidents in front of me, they cut each other off, and even brake check you if you ride their ass lol
This mod is THE BEST traffic mode I've used and has made it into my "Necessary Improvements" list of mods.
Thank you!

ps. since you're so good at making this mod work as intended have you ever thought of making graphic mods or anything else that overall improves the realism of the game? You've got some skill to make this mod work this well if nobody has even come close to this level of overhaul on the games traffic system, you should make other great mods.

Thanks for reporting the issue, it should be fixed now.

SCS loves renaming ancient variables randomly, which I didn't notice.

Thank you for the update. However only with this mod this error appears all the time in the log causing a stuttering. Apart from this traffic mod I have : Trucks and trailers traffic project by d goldhaber. I don't know if it has anything to do with.

[traffic_vehicle_chain] Invalid vehicle type 'car_city'!
[traffic_rule] Error initializing traffic rule from data (s_car_c_u)
[traffic_vehicle_chain] Invalid vehicle type 'truck_city'!
[traffic_rule] Error initializing traffic rule from data (s_truck_c_u)

Thank you for the update!

Hey, sorry, I wasn't getting notifications for the comments here. I've updated the mod for those having trouble.

If I'm slow to update in the future, you can go ahead and update the mod to share with others if you want.
