About this mod
Expect a less orderly commute with darkestdragon24’s traffic behaviour changes. Cars take a brisker approach to the road, while changes to population limits allow more vehicles into the simulation. It is aimed at drivers who want livelier journeys.
The author says the mod can accompany Cip’s density settings and Jazzycat vehicle packs. Place this item above those packs in Mod Manager.
Traffic can still behave unpredictably: the author notes occasional cars exceeding 150 km/h, alongside slower vehicles that continue to hold up queues. Treat it as a different traffic style rather than a guarantee that congestion disappears.
The ETS2.LT release listing identifies versions 1.61 and 1.60+. Please check the current Workshop comments before combining it with a heavily modified profile.
