✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Directly addresses a common frustration—head-on collisions during police chases
- Small but active user base (17 endorsements, 779 downloads) shows it works for some
- Author encourages editing and FiveM use, so you can tweak it for your server
⚠️ Cons
- Known issue: deer still cross the road through the barriers after Paleto Bay, so immersion breaks
- Requires the custom_maps DLC and OpenIV/CodeWalker, which adds setup complexity
- Last updated in 2022—may not be tested with the latest GTA V patches
For GTA V players who are tired of crashing head-on into traffic during police chases on the Great Ocean Highway. Also for FiveM server owners who want to improve road safety in that area. Skip if you don't drive that stretch often or prefer gameplay mods over map tweaks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the custom_maps DLC installed—it's not included with the base game, so grab it from a mod site first.
- Use OpenIV to navigate to the exact folder path given in the description; dropping the file in the wrong place will break the mod.
- If you're on FiveM, you can edit the YMAP and publish it, but keep the credit to Danix93 in your server's description.
