Urban Traffic Overhaul is a long-running traffic enhancement project for American Truck Simulator that focuses on making highways and city traffic feel more authentic. It adjusts lane counts on several key interstates, corrects signage mistakes, and fine-tunes how AI vehicles spawn throughout the day.

In-game, players will notice widened sections on highways like I-5, I-10, I-80, and US 101, along with more realistic traffic density patterns that peak during daytime hours and taper off overnight. The mod also updates traffic zones for newer DLC regions such as South Dakota and Illinois, and includes urban remodeling around major cities like Los Angeles.

This mod is ideal for players who want a more immersive and realistic traffic experience without relying on entirely new assets, focusing instead on refining existing highway structures, signage, and AI behavior for a smoother, more believable driving environment.
