Features:
- Allows AI traffic to exceed posted speed limits where realistic
- Keeps existing traffic density unchanged
- Gives AI faster, more decisive reaction times
- Makes drivers behave more selfishly and realistically
- Passenger cars form fast-moving groups on highways
- Economy-focused or weaker cars stick to the right lane at the limit
- Trucks typically cruise around 65–75 mph
- AI can briefly hit up to 99 mph while overtaking
- Normal driving stays within about 10 mph over the limit
- AI slows down and drives cautiously near police
- Designed mainly for highway driving realism
- Compatible with most traffic density mods
This mod reworks how AI vehicles behave on the road, aiming to make traffic in American Truck Simulator feel closer to real U.S. driving patterns. Instead of strictly obeying posted limits, AI cars and trucks now adjust their speed based on road type, police presence, and vehicle class.
On highways, passenger cars tend to form faster-moving groups that travel above the speed limit, much like real-world traffic where enforcement is inconsistent. Meanwhile, underpowered or economy-style vehicles stay closer to the limit and keep to the right lane. Trucks are also affected, generally driving in the 65–75 mph range depending on their performance, while AI overtaking maneuvers can briefly push speeds up to 99 mph.
Traffic density is not altered, so the mod focuses purely on behavior and pacing rather than the number of vehicles on the road. It's best suited for players who want a livelier, more dynamic highway experience without changing how busy the roads feel, and it should work alongside most traffic density mods without conflicts.
