The mod for Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) version 1.46 is a specialized modification designed to replace the game's basic, uniform traffic system with a realistic, time-based density model. Developed primarily by Cip , the mod uses real-world data charts to simulate varying traffic levels throughout a 24-hour cycle, peaking during rush hours and significantly thinning out at night. Key Features of RTD 1.46.C
: AI vehicles can occasionally break the speed limit by up to 35% on a random basis, though this rarely affects trucks due to their internal file limits.
: Place the RTD mod above any map mods (like ProMods or MHA Pro) and graphic mods in the Mod Manager . REAL TRAFFIC DENSITY ETS2 1.46.C
: Traffic density shifts realistically based on the time of day, with heavy congestion during daylight peaks and primarily truck-based traffic at night.
: Custom semaphore (traffic light) cycles are implemented to reduce gridlock. Default green lights are set to 22 seconds, with left turns at 12 seconds. The mod for Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) version 1
