About this mod
RoadPulse reworks where and when AI traffic appears. Traffic follows the in-game clock, with morning and afternoon rush hours, a steady flow during the day and quiet roads at night.
Each of the 36 countries gets its own traffic level, from busy Germany and the UK to quiet Norway and Iceland. Border crossings and toll plazas get proper queues, holiday areas such as Italy, France, Spain and Greece see more caravans and camper vans, and the overall AI car limit goes up from 50 to 150. The author keeps it updated for the latest game version; it was last updated on 1 October 2026, after 1.61.

- Rush hours and night lulls based on the in-game time
- Separate traffic levels for 36 countries
- Queues at borders and toll plazas
- More caravans and campers in holiday regions
- AI vehicle limit raised from 50 to 150
