Description:
Real Road Traffic transforms ETS2 traffic into a realistic Southern European experience with dynamic time-based flow.
This AI behavior mod simulates authentic Mediterranean highway culture (Spain, France, Italy, Portugal) with rush hours, nighttime truck traffic, and realistic overtaking.
Completely overhauls AI behavior AND daily traffic patterns.
Experience dense rush-hour highways, truck-dominated nights and fluid daytime traffic similar to real AP-7, A-1, French Autoroutes, or Italian Autostrade.
