Real Traffic AI development is being paused.

The V2.0.1 hotfix will remain available as the latest version, focused on stability and disabling the reported SHVDN siren-check crash path.

There will be no further Real Traffic AI updates before December at the earliest.

🚫 𝙉𝙊 𝙎𝙐𝙋𝙋𝙊𝙍𝙏

While the project is paused, no support will be provided for Real Traffic AI.

This includes installation help, crash reports, ScriptHookVDotNet errors, mod conflicts, GTA V build issues, or individual setup troubleshooting.

The mod will remain available, but users install and use it at their own discretion.

Thank you to everyone who downloaded, tested, supported, and played Real Traffic AI.

I may return to the project in the future, but until then my main focus will be my other mods.

Real Traffic AI V2.0 is a major civilian traffic behaviour enhancement for GTA V, rebuilt to make the world feel smoother, calmer, more believable, and far more immersive during everyday driving, patrol, pursuits, emergency response, and free roam.

This version is not just a small update.

V2.0 is a full rewrite of Real Traffic AI.

The entire project has been rebuilt with a cleaner internal structure, improved traffic logic, safer update handling, better performance control, stronger stability protection, and a much more believable driving flow across Los Santos and Blaine County.

The goal remains simple:

Make GTA V traffic feel less chaotic, less robotic, less brake-happy, and more like a living world.

Real Traffic AI V2.0 introduces a completely rebuilt traffic behaviour system designed around smoother movement, safer AI decision-making, better road awareness, and improved compatibility with LSPDFR-style gameplay.

This update focuses on making civilian traffic feel more natural without turning the game into chaos.

Main V2.0 highlights include:

• Full internal rewrite from the ground up

• New traffic management structure

• Smoother acceleration and braking behaviour

• Improved low-speed traffic movement

• Reduced panic braking and stop-start bouncing

• Better car-following and spacing logic

• More believable traffic flow in city areas

• Improved freeway/high-speed following behaviour

• Better road-speed awareness across different road types

• Smarter response to stopped or blocked vehicles

• Early road obstruction response behaviour

• Courtesy merge-style traffic cooperation

• Improved emergency vehicle yielding

• Safer siren/pull-over behaviour

• Better stability in dense city traffic

• Reduced crash pressure from heavy traffic updates

• New safer startup grace period

• More controlled update timing for performance

• Cleaner INI configuration layout

• Fully script-based design with no game file edits

Real Traffic AI V2.0 focuses on improving how normal civilian drivers behave in everyday traffic.

NPC drivers now feel more composed when moving through traffic, approaching queues, following other vehicles, reacting to hazards, and dealing with changing road conditions.

Instead of constantly slamming brakes, surging forward, or reacting too aggressively, traffic now behaves with more patience, smoother movement, and better spacing.

This creates a calmer and more believable driving experience whether you are:

• Patrolling with LSPDFR

• Driving normally across the city

• Responding to incidents

• Moving through heavy traffic

• Driving on highways

• Watching AI traffic around emergency scenes

• Free roaming across Los Santos

𝙇𝙀𝙎𝙎 𝘽𝙍𝘼𝙆𝙀-𝙃𝘼𝙋𝙋𝙔. 𝙇𝙀𝙎𝙎 𝘽𝙊𝙐𝙉𝘾𝙔. 𝙈𝙊𝙍𝙀 𝙉𝘼𝙏𝙐𝙍𝘼𝙇.

One of the biggest goals of V2.0 was to reduce the weird stop-start behaviour that GTA V traffic can suffer from.

Real Traffic AI V2.0 improves:

• Vehicle spacing

• Low-speed rollout

• Queue behaviour

• Acceleration smoothing

• Defensive following

• Hazard braking

• Freeway following discipline

• Stopped-traffic approach behaviour

Traffic should now feel less twitchy, less impatient, and much more believable during normal driving.

V2.0 includes improved emergency vehicle reaction behaviour.

Civilian traffic can now respond more believably to nearby emergency vehicles with active sirens, including safer yielding and pull-over behaviour where appropriate.

This system has been tuned to feel more natural without forcing traffic into constant panic or creating unnecessary crashes around emergency scenes.

Emergency yielding is designed to support LSPDFR-style gameplay by helping traffic react more realistically when police, fire, or EMS vehicles need room to move.

Real Traffic AI V2.0 introduces early road obstruction handling.

Traffic can now behave more intelligently around slow, stopped, or blocked vehicles instead of simply freezing, stacking up forever, or reacting in overly aggressive ways.

This helps improve traffic behaviour during:

• Stopped vehicle situations

• Blocked lanes

• Pursuit aftermath scenes

• Escort-style traffic interruptions

• Emergency scenes

• Dense city driving

This system is designed to improve flow while still respecting normal traffic situations such as queues, junctions, and traffic light stops.

V2.0 includes improved road-speed classification so traffic can behave more appropriately depending on the type of road.

Drivers should now feel more controlled in slower city areas while remaining more confident on larger roads and freeways.

This helps reduce the feeling that all GTA V roads behave the same and gives traffic a more grounded, location-aware flow.

Real Traffic AI V2.0 includes several stability and performance-focused improvements.

The update system has been made more controlled to reduce unnecessary traffic processing, especially in dense city areas where GTA V can already be under heavy load.

V2.0 also includes safer startup handling, including a grace period after loading into the world, helping reduce crash pressure during the first moments of gameplay.

The mod is designed to be lighter, safer, and more stable than earlier builds while still improving traffic behaviour in noticeable ways.

3. Place the Real Traffic AI files into your GTA V scripts folder.

4. Launch GTA V.

5. The mod will create or use its INI configuration file.

Real Traffic AI V2.0 includes a cleaner configuration layout than older versions.

The INI allows traffic behaviour, performance, and feature settings to be adjusted depending on your setup and preference.

Default settings are designed to provide a stable and balanced experience for most users.

If you are running a heavily modded LSPDFR setup, it is recommended to start with the default settings first before making major changes.

𝘿𝙀𝙎𝙄𝙂𝙉𝙀𝘿 𝙁𝙊𝙍 𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙇𝙄𝙎𝙈-𝙁𝙊𝘾𝙐𝙎𝙀𝘿 𝙂𝘼𝙈𝙀𝙋𝙇𝘼𝙔

Real Traffic AI V2.0 is designed to work alongside LSPDFR and most common script-based realism setups.

Because GTA V traffic is controlled by many different systems at once, compatibility can vary depending on your full mod list.

For best results:

• Avoid using multiple mods that aggressively control the exact same civilian traffic behaviour

• Test with default Real Traffic AI settings first

• Keep ScriptHookV and ScriptHookVDotNet updated

• Use stable versions of LSPDFR and related plugins

• Check your log file if something behaves unexpectedly

⚠️ 𝙆𝙉𝙊𝙒𝙉 𝙉𝙊𝙏𝙀𝙎

𝙂𝙏𝘼 𝙑 𝙏𝙍𝘼𝙁𝙁𝙄𝘾 𝙄𝙎 𝙎𝙏𝙄𝙇𝙇 𝙂𝙏𝘼 𝙑 𝙏𝙍𝘼𝙁𝙁𝙄𝘾

Real Traffic AI improves civilian behaviour, but it does not replace the entire GTA V traffic engine.

Some odd behaviour may still happen due to:

• Vanilla GTA V AI limitations

• Heavy traffic density

• Complex junctions

• Other traffic or pursuit mods

• Emergency scenes with many vehicles

• Script-heavy LSPDFR setups

V2.0 has been built to reduce these issues as much as possible while staying safe, lightweight, and compatible.

Real Traffic AI follows a realism-first design philosophy.

The goal is not to make traffic dramatic for the sake of it.

The goal is to make traffic feel believable.

Core design rules:

• Stability first

• Realism over chaos

• Flow over aggression

• Smoothness over panic

• Compatibility over forced behaviour

• LSPDFR-friendly design

• Natural GTA V-style behaviour, but better

Real Traffic AI is built to feel like GTA V traffic has become smarter, not like the entire game has been replaced.
