What this mod does
OK Realistic Traffic changes the density and behavior of Euro Truck Simulator 2 traffic to feel more like real roads. Okeightysix posted it on November 3, 2026 (updated November 5), with credits to Orhan Kökbudak and KrankmiliTV, and says it was built and tested in Convoy.
What changes
- Traffic several times denser on motorways, in cities and on rural roads, with rush hours at 7:00 and 16:00 and calmer nights.
- More cars and fewer trucks; trucks stay in the right lane and cars have no speed limit on German motorways.
- Each vehicle drives at 85-115% of the limit; safer AI (1.2-2.2 s following gap, slower in rain and fog) and crashed vehicles resume driving in 2-3 seconds.
- Realistic car colors and 1 in 4 semi-trailers in creators’ liveries (moditek, KLYPOD, Rampage, KrankmiliTV, SIMTUR…).
Settings and compatibility
The author doesn’t state a game version (it’s from the 1.62 era). Keep g_traffic at 1 and place the mod above your other traffic mods; don’t combine it with another density mod such as Brutal Traffic. With big trailer packs like SiSL’s Trailer Pack the custom liveries will show up less. Players without the mod can still join in Convoy. One comment complains about too much traffic at night; the author is asking for feedback to tune it. It weighs 25.5 MB.
