📋 About This Mod
Basics:
Reduces the time taken to pass through the Dogtown vehicle checkpoints by roughly 66%
Old scan time: 6 seconds + 3 seconds to be able to leave
New scan time: 2 seconds + 1 second to be able to leave
Notes:
The road barriers are removed in v1. 0. 0 as they had/have a hardcoded opening/closing speed that doesn't play nice with the faster scan times.
I will add them back in with an update if I can solve the issue.
No changes are made for the pedestrian scans.

Bugs / Limitations
Due to having to "remove" the road barriers this mod edits a world sector and as such the mod version needs to match the correct game version.
V1. 0. 0 works with game version 2. 01

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust – 3,057 endorsements and 1.2M downloads show it's a go-to for many players
- Saves real time – cutting checkpoint waits by two-thirds makes driving through Dogtown way less annoying
- Lightweight and focused – does one thing and does it well, no bloat or extra features to fiddle with
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Dogtown checkpoints – if you wanted faster checkpoints elsewhere, this won't help
- Last updated March 2026 – could be outdated if future game patches change checkpoint behavior
For Cyberpunk 2077 players who drive through Dogtown often and are tired of the constant stop-and-go at checkpoints. If you're a completionist or just exploring the district, this mod makes travel smoother. Skip if you rarely visit Dogtown or prefer to keep the game's original pacing.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the game's modding tools or a mod manager like Vortex to install this easily – it's likely just a file placement.
- If you're on PC, verify your game version matches the mod's last update (March 2026) to avoid compatibility issues.
- Since it's a gameplay tweak, test it at a Dogtown checkpoint right after installing to confirm the reduced wait time works.
