📋 About This Mod

🚗

REAL TRAFFIC AI

Real Traffic AI improves overall traffic flow in GTA V by refining NPC driving behaviour, reducing hesitation, and creating smoother, more natural vehicle movement across the map.

The goal of this mod is to enhance traffic realism without breaking vanilla behaviour, making city streets feel calmer and more believable, and highways feel alive and free-flowing — all while remaining stable during long play sessions and fully compatible with LSPDFR.

Real Traffic AI is designed to feel like a natural evolution of GTA V’s traffic system rather than a complete overhaul.


🧠 FEATURES
  • []Smoother and more consistent traffic flow

    []Reduced AI hesitation and unnecessary braking

    []Improved cruising behaviour on open roads and highways

    []More natural city traffic pacing without aggressive driving

    []Improved vehicle spacing and lane stability

    []Retains safe, vanilla-style driving behaviour

    []Designed for long sessions with no FPS impact


🚓 POLICE & EMERGENCY INTERACTION (v1. 7) - early access only at the moment)

Version 1. 7 introduces major improvements to how civilian traffic behaves around police and emergency activity.

  • []Calmer, more realistic traffic behaviour during police pull-overs

    []Improved flow around stopped or slow emergency vehicles

    []Reduced panic braking and traffic freezing near police activity

When sirens are active, Real Traffic AI automatically steps back and allows GTA V’s native AI to handle yielding and stopping behaviour. This ensures correct pull-over responses and significantly improves compatibility with LSPDFR and emergency vehicle mods.


🚦 TRAFFIC REALISM & FLOW

  • []Improved pull-away behaviour at junctions and intersections

    []Reduced stop–start oscillation in queues and congestion

    []More stable cruising speeds on long roads

    []Better speed adaptation based on road type and traffic density

    []Fewer chain-reaction braking events in flowing traffic


⚙️ CONFIGURATION

Real Traffic AI v1. 7 includes a fully redesigned and user-friendly configuration system.

  • []Clearly organised INI file with descriptive sections

    []All values safely clamped internally

    []Realistic defaults for out-of-the-box use

    []Optional fine-tuning for advanced users

    []Malformed or missing INI files safely fall back to defaults


⚙️ TECHNICAL DETAILS

  • []Compatible with LSPDFR and most AI-based mods

    []Lightweight and fully script-based

    []No game files are modified

    []Safe to add or remove at any time

    []Designed for stability during extended play sessions


⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES
  • []Real Traffic AI focuses on civilian traffic behaviour only

[]Police pursuit logic is not modified

[]Avoid combining multiple traffic or AI overhaul mods that affect the same systems for best stability

[]Extreme or heavily scripted setups may still expose edge cases inherent to GTA V’s AI
