[ETS2 – 1.58] Real Road Traffic v1.1

Description: REAL ROAD TRAFFIC v1.1
Real Road Traffic transforms ETS2 traffic into a realistic Southern European experience with dynamic time-based flow. This AI behavior mod simulates authentic Mediterranean highway culture (Spain, France, Italy, Portugal) with rush hours, nighttime truck traffic, and realistic overtaking.
WHAT IT DOES: Completely overhauls AI behavior AND daily traffic patterns. Experience dense rush-hour highways, truck-dominated nights, and fluid daytime traffic similar to real AP-7, A-1, French Autoroutes, or Italian Autostrade. v1.1 fixes critical issues: vehicles now appear ahead, trucks stay right, AI doesn’t accelerate when overtaken.
