Realistic Traffic 2.2

Realistic Traffic – Dynamic Edition

Please read the description carefully before installing this mod.

 

 

Project has been paused so I can focus on more important private projects

 

 

Experience traffic like never before. Built from the ground up to simulate natural density, realistic congestion, night calmness, and rush hour chaos.
This isn't just a tweak. This is a traffic system that responds to time, location, and intensity.

 

 

 

🧠 What This Mod Does

Realistic Traffic dynamically adjusts traffic density based on:
 

  • 🕒 In-game time (rush hour, night, regular day)
     

  • 🌍 Location (city, rural, highways)
     

  • 📆 Day of the week (weekend evening boost)
     

Unlike the previous version (Realistic Traffic till 4.0), with this plugin you get lively traffic that changes around you.


 

🚗 Key Features

  • Dynamic Rush Hour Simulation
    Morning (6–9 AM) and evening (4–7 PM) peak traffic with congested highways and slower movement.
     

  • Ultra-Realistic Night Traffic
    From midnight to 5 AM, most roads are nearly empty. Just 1–3 cars every few blocks.
     

  • Rural Traffic Zones
    Sandy Shores, Paleto Bay, Grapeseed and mountain roads always stay calmer whether it's night or day.
     

  • Weekend Evenings Get Busy
    Friday and Saturday nights simulate nightlife traffic, with increased flow after 8 PM.
     

  • Traffic Horn Simulation

    During rush hour, stopped vehicles occasionally honk for realism.
     
  • Menu
    You can turn the horn on and off via the menu. You can also enable or disable Rush Boost.
    Default key is F3, you can change it in the ini.
     

  • Better emergency lane when lights on NEW

    Vehicles will automatically move to the side (right/left) when the siren signal is switched on. Some NPCs will “fail” and not dodge correctly.

 

 

 

 

🔧  Future features
 

  • 🌧️  Weather-based density adjustment:

    • Less traffic during heavy rain/thunderstorms

    • More traffic jams in drizzle (accidents, braking)
       

  • 🏙️  City-related density zones (e.g., Davis, Vinewood):

    • Density is also regulated by district (e.g. Vinewood = denser, Blaine County = less)

 

Do you have a suggestion for me? Write it in the comments below, and I'll try to implement it as soon as possible.

 

 

 

🔧 Requirements

  • GTA V (latest version)

  • ScriptHookV

  • ScriptHookVDotNet 3 (Nightly built)

 

 

 

 

⚠ Known Limitations

  • Due to engine limitations, density is still bound by gameconfig & streaming range.

  • For best results, use with an enhanced gameconfig.xml (included).

 

 

 

 

 

⚠ Known issues

 

  • Nothing here yet...

 

 

 

 

 

✏️ Notice

 

  •  If you've just started the game and the traffic isn't right, you may need to manually set a time for the traffic to update. From then on, the traffic will run completely dynamically
    This doesn't have to happen, but it can occasionally occur.
     
  • The heavy game config is recommended. If your game can't handle all that traffic, you'll need to switch to the middle game config.
    Unfortunately, the middle gameconfig is limited in its functionality. It primarily reduces traffic overall. 
    If you still want to play with the heavy version, you'll need to lower your graphics settings or remove certain graphics mods.
    This doesn't have to happen, but it can occasionally occur.

    IMPORTANT:
  • If Rockstar Games releases an update and the game starts crashing or won't start at all, it's most likely due to the gameconfig included with that mod. This must be replaced with a current custom gameconfig until this mod receives an update.

My fault. There should normally be only one menu. The F9 menu was just for me, so I could test everything quickly.

I see, altho the intensity option is nice, i think you should keep it as it allows a player to modify it on the spot if they think theres too much of or less traffic than expected
Menu customization is always nice for mods, instead of having to rely on creator preference or INI's

    Ok, thank you. This Mod is amazing and to be correct changing the time to 7am will slowly take the rush hour into effect and what time I set the game too?

    The time of day only affects traffic. It's better to let the game run normally rather than freezing it, so the game can be played very realistically.

    Rush traffic starts at 6 am and runs until 8 am. This is when the city's streets are busiest.

    This means that if you drive down the street with your police lights, the traffic will better make room for you so you can get through.

    To delete this mod, you need to remove the two files "RealisticTraffic" from the scripts folder.

    Also, replace the gameconfig with a custom one.

    We also use the RDE team's gameconfig, which we refined for the Traffic Mod.

    Other unrefined gameconfigs would not work.

    so my F3 Menu doesnt seem to work and the traffic never varies, its constant heavy traffic 24/7 in game, and yes i sat there and watched on the highway to see if the traffic would slow down to a minimum and maximum like it portrays in the game file, second problem i went to remove the mod and did so and replaced with my OG gameconfig.xml and even with the mod removed my traffic is still stuck at heavy somehow.

    This mod can be easily removed by removing the "RealisticTraffic" scripts from the script folder and replacing the game config with a different one. It's all explained in the ReadMe.

    Great mod, but unfortunately it makes my game crash randomly, even more when I adjust the settings. And that gets kinda annoying.
