Let's be honest.
You've probably tried ClearTheWayV or MTFO because you wanted traffic to actually get out of the way when responding to an emergency.
And then watched the AI proceed to collectively lose its fucking mind.
Cars brake-checking emergency vehicles. Civilian traffic reacting to things it shouldn't. Vehicles making bizarre manoeuvres during pursuits. Backup units getting caught up in the chaos. Traffic doing everything except behaving like actual drivers who have noticed a police car coming up behind them.
Cryptic Emergency Traffic was made because of exactly that.
Rather than forcing every vehicle in the area into some ridiculous scripted manoeuvre, Cryptic Emergency Traffic focuses on the traffic that actually matters: normal civilian vehicles ahead of you, travelling in the same direction.
What It Does
Traffic ahead of your emergency vehicle reacts and clears the way.
Civilian traffic is handled more naturally during normal emergency responses.
Yielding behaviour is automatically softened during high-speed responses.
Pursuit suspects are ignored and won't perform glitchy pull-over behaviour.
Vehicles involved in traffic stops are no longer affected by unwanted yielding behaviour.
Improved handling around backup units and multiple emergency vehicles.
Reduced aggressive braking and brake-checking.
Opposing traffic is no longer unnecessarily affected by the plugin.
No unnecessary keybinds.
Fully configurable behaviour through the included
.ini.
Built for LSPDFR, Not Chaos
The goal isn't to make every car within a hundred metres suddenly panic because you've turned your siren on.
The goal is simple:
Traffic ahead of you recognises the emergency vehicle, reacts appropriately, and gets out of the way without creating a bigger problem than the emergency response itself.
No pursuit suspects suddenly trying to pull over.
No traffic-stop vehicles deciding they need to participate.
No backup units getting dragged into ridiculous civilian traffic reactions.
No unnecessary brake-checking.
Just cleaner, more controlled emergency traffic behaviour.
Why Cryptic Emergency Traffic?
ClearTheWayV and MTFO may work for some people, but if you've ever found yourself asking:
"Why the fuck is that car doing that?"
Then Cryptic Emergency Traffic takes a different approach.
Only affect the traffic that needs to be affected.
Leave everything else alone.
Let the emergency vehicle through.
That's it.

What's New in Version 2.1.0
Released
v2.1.0
A major refinement update focused on making emergency traffic behaviour smoother, more natural, and significantly less intrusive during pursuits and high-speed situations.
What's New?
Version 2.1.0 brings a major improvement to how Cryptic Emergency Traffic handles active pursuits, emergency vehicles, AI backup units, and normal Code 3 responses.
Previous versions could occasionally cause civilian traffic to react too aggressively during pursuits, resulting in unnatural braking, interference with backup units, and unnecessary chaos.
This update changes that.
Improved Pursuit Handling
Cryptic Emergency Traffic now uses improved LSPDFR pursuit detection to better understand when the player is actively involved in a pursuit.
During active pursuits, the plugin significantly reduces or disables civilian yielding behaviour to prevent traffic from interfering with:
Pursuit suspects
AI backup units
Other emergency vehicles
High-speed pursuit situations
This means traffic is far less likely to create unnecessary problems while you're chasing a suspect at speed.
Smoother, More Natural Traffic
This update also removes the use of SET_VEHICLE_FORWARD_SPEED, which was a major contributor to unnatural slowing and braking behaviour.
Other improvements include:
Reduced aggressive civilian reactions.
Less frequent traffic tasking.
Increased cooldowns to reduce twitching and repeated reactions.
Reduced unnecessary traffic detection.
Softer and more natural pull-over behaviour.
Improved emergency vehicle detection and exclusion.
Better separation between normal emergency responses and active pursuits.
The Goal
Normal Code 3 response?
Traffic should react and make room.
Active pursuit?
The plugin gets out of the way and avoids creating additional chaos.
That's the philosophy behind v2.1.0: affect traffic when it makes sense, and leave it alone when it doesn't.
Important
This update includes an updated and fully commented configuration file.
It is strongly recommended that you replace your existing CrypticEmergencyTraffic.ini with the new version included with this update.
