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.

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

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.

Make sure ScriptHookV is installed.
Make sure ScriptHookVDotNet is installed.
Place the Real Traffic AI files into your GTA V scripts folder.
Launch GTA V.
The mod will create or use its INI configuration file.
Adjust settings if needed.
Main files:
Real Traffic AI.dll
Real Traffic AI.ini
Real Traffic AI.log

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.

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

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.
