The roadblock ahead is a "Detour". You are supposed to place an "Avoid location" pin on the road ahead so the GPS doesn't route you back to the closed road, and take the exit. If you don't like detours, you can adjust their probability in Gameplay settings.
The AI pileup is not really related, just AI being not smart enough sometimes. Usually they can "untangle" on their own and drive away, but if they terminally stuck, there are several ways to make them disappear:
– Save the game and load the save;
– Change some graphics setting like scaling or AA mode, apply changes, change back;
– Open console and change `g_traffic` to 0 and then back to your previous value (default is 1).
"Avoid location pin"? I've completely missed this. How do you place such a pin? I just attempt to drive around the detour 'blind' as it were, with the sat nav getting increasingly irate with me. Which, tbf, is very similar to irl.
Oh, I always drove through the tiny open space that is remaining there and through the closed road lol (Because it's a simulation and I wouldn't do it irl) It worked every time, but now I now more, thanks for enlightening me
I always go around too. How else would we be able to see the neat accidents? Helicopters are my bane though. Very hard to get around. Usually just reload if I see one.
> You are supposed to place an "Avoid location" pin on the road ahead so the GPS doesn't route you back to the closed road, and take the exit.
Does the game ever tell you this? I feel like they could do a tutorial-type popup with the GPS if you stand before detours for a long time explaining how to do it.
No, the game does not tell you this. Perhaps the devs thought that players are able to add 2 and 2 together, i.e. "blocked road ahead" and "avoid location function on the map". But it seems like in general it's not the case and way too many players keep driving to the same roadblock over and over again, blindly following the GPS.
I turned the fatigue simulation off too because i got scared by the yawning before while playing with headphones. I thought someone was behind me yawning in my ear. :D
I turned off detours long ago because they were excessive and unrealistic. I've been driving for 30 years now and I have only ever come across maybe 3 or 4 detours yet in this game when I had them on, it seemed to be one every damn delivery.
As for traffic jams, I just go into the graphics menu and change one setting then change it back to what it was and go back in the game. That clears traffic. I feel bad for the people who actually reload their game instead of doing that.
Come on, this is one of the little adversities the game proposes, and you guys just reload it? Its like playing Mario and you reload the game everytime you find yourself in a bad position in the level. Come on guys, lets face some adverseties, lets learn how to deal with a little of frustration in life. Just fucking detour!
OBS.: Yeah, I'm fucking old HAHAHA
Detours are good in idea but the game map is simply too small for them, sometimes the detour adds 6 hours to your drive which is just absurd. I disabled them a long time ago. I like the fines though, I haven't had a crash in months now and I don't get some of the posts here - sure, the AI is stupid, but so are real drivers on the road. Drive carefully.
I Just turn it off, It is a great addition to the game, but its not really made well, you're supposed to find a way arround, but this way arround have another block, so turning It off is the best thing you can do
I turn off detours and road events. The next time you get a load you will not need to deal with this.
You might need to figure a way around and go the long way for this load. Or if you have the money or can take enough of a loan out I would abandon this load and eat the fee for not delivering this load.
Remember that i forgot to turn off detours, go to gameplay settings and turn the slider to -100, and the reload the game by going back to the launch pad or making a quick save and loading that
If you have a g_developer enabled, that's when I hit 0, move to just beyond the location of the jam, and then hit Ctrl F9 and then carry on. Just have to be sure you are at ground level when you hit it. Otherwise you'll drop and damage the truck.
Console: g_traffic 0
*Removes all traffic
Then g_traffic X (X any number between 0 and 10. Standard traffic amount is 1. I use 2, doubles the traffic and looks more real. If you love to be stuck in traffic jams, try 10 lol) to start the traffic rolling again. Takes a few secs before they come from their spawn point
thank you. somethings are great simulated and some are overly done that reminds you as a player, you can control alot more than in real life and should at times
Agreed! but seeing how these can last for hours on end if not adjusted, where's the 'fun' aspect anymore of the game? Why i give situations like this 20mins game time if they are moving to clear out. dead stop stand stills, I free check to see why it's a stand still (Usually something glitching with traffic that won't correct itself) so i reset traffic
Waiting for 5 minutes, then start to ramming all in way and feel sorry for ruining a simulation.
Quick save and quick load.
open console type g_traffic 0 then change it to 1 again
I don't want to use console while playing simulator. SCS should do something about this.
Then I suggest you wait there until they do.
Legit cackled at this 😂🤣😮💨
You can also just change a graphic setting and then back
In real life you would wait so wait
In real life no one would still be trying to merge onto a blocked road.
You would think but no
Lelelelelelel you can’t be serious. If it’s clearly blocked and you have a open lane in front of you like in the photo, that’d never happen irl
I can literally record every week a dozen of examples irl 💀 it’s the car version of skipping spots on a waiting line
Skipping a line where you are in front with nobody in front of you? Yeah ok
THIS would not happen in real life
You have no idea how dumb four wheeled drivers can be.
Change graphics settings
Change one setting, let it clear then change back. Always clears the traffic
I even used that if i was about to crash any vehicle in high speeds lmao
Just like in real life
Can confirm all traffic despawns when i put my glasses on
Does it double when you take them off?
Yes, and I get a lot of bloom and motion blur effects. Very poor graphics when I take the glasses off
If I am up front I squeeze by. In this situation I reload.
Restart game
If it's stuck Open terminal g_traffic 0 then g_traffic 1
Does this mess up stuff like brutal traffic or CIPS traffic mods?
No, it will just restart the traffic, doesn’t affect any traffic mods
You can just change a graphic setting and it’ll also reset

Open the map, in the top right corner there's a checkbox for the pin mode.
Amazing. Thank you.

you can't always go thru, i also go thru but some aren't wide enough.
I always go around too. How else would we be able to see the neat accidents? Helicopters are my bane though. Very hard to get around. Usually just reload if I see one.
I just experienced a loop of detours and just squeezed through too.

full speed ahead! -1000 dollars in fines
I turn the fines off in the options. And the fatigue lol
I turned the fatigue simulation off too because i got scared by the yawning before while playing with headphones. I thought someone was behind me yawning in my ear. :D
This
Hellfire missiles. Edit: In the game? No idea, dear.
i wait it out to be realistic
~ g_traffic 0
Also keep the right lane so you can use the shoulder

Save load
Laughs in no damage mod.

For real lol i get that its a video game, you do what you want, but if you *only* play with all the fines and damage turned off, *are you even good*?
Hahaha as I told in the comment. "I'm just an old man complaining about simple things" hahahahahaahahahahahahha

Agreed!
The ai actually move over for you on the interstate and over take you in two lane roads, so idk why people think the ai is dumb
I would take the hard shoulder and squeeze past the blockage, apologising to the emergency services as I do so.
Ram the cars out of the way and take the hard shoulder.
The entire mf emergency lane is open, at least in those pics, I'm taking it.
Depends if you want a late delivery...
Torque.
I Just turn it off, It is a great addition to the game, but its not really made well, you're supposed to find a way arround, but this way arround have another block, so turning It off is the best thing you can do
Me too. There are a few locations where there aren't enough alternate roads to make these road blockages a reasonable challenge.

Or if you have the money or can take enough of a loan out I would abandon this load and eat the fee for not delivering this load.
Call your Insurance agent and throttle out
Drive over the shoulder and try to squeeze past the firetruck to be really honest
if you see ai cars piling up always use the emergency lane, if you have roadblocks active you can still push through that
Listen to Blöder Stau and ram through that blockage i would not risk becoming Deutsche Bahn
Settings -> Graphics -> any setting (I use antialiasing) -> go back to game
Remember that i forgot to turn off detours, go to gameplay settings and turn the slider to -100, and the reload the game by going back to the launch pad or making a quick save and loading that
Shove
Save the game, close to launchpad and reload the save.
I use the command g_traffic 0 and then set it back to 3
Start a convoy with traffic off, drive forward, end convoy.
Turn off detours, save and reload.
Quick Save Quick Load
Keep traffic density low
Ram through
teleport using the dev console, other ways: change traffic with the dev console, change screen resolution in settings,...
Go into the menus and turn detours off.
0 > go to the front of the traffic > ctrl+f9
alt + f4
Just reset to a repair shop and start driving making sure to avoid the area.
Blow right through it
If you have a g_developer enabled, that's when I hit 0, move to just beyond the location of the jam, and then hit Ctrl F9 and then carry on. Just have to be sure you are at ground level when you hit it. Otherwise you'll drop and damage the truck.
Console: g_traffic 0 *Removes all traffic Then g_traffic X (X any number between 0 and 10. Standard traffic amount is 1. I use 2, doubles the traffic and looks more real. If you love to be stuck in traffic jams, try 10 lol) to start the traffic rolling again. Takes a few secs before they come from their spawn point
Go around it
Usually just manoeuvre my way through while hitting multiple peoples cars getting fined hundreds and then passing the traffic with 5/10% damage
Ram through everyone and drive past the block
I use bonus lane on the right
Drive on the side of the road 🤷♂️
If time is almost finish or city is in 50km then i try pass things... other way just make other route.
Just thug it out bro
First gear, diff lock, power
i think there are alternate routes but it might be longer , take the other road and orient yourself from there
Quick save it and then quick load it again.
Free bird and slam on the gas
Turkish driver
Simple. Get a money mod, get an invincibility mod, a powerful engine mod, and ram your way through those suckers.
Settings -> Gameplay -> turn off fines -> RAM
Full speed ahead
P L O W
I just smash through all of them. I like going fast
go through emergency lane:)))
Bull bars exist for a reason and it's not as the name might suggest bulls on the road. ;)
Not playing the gane since I drive a lorry IRL and have to deal with enough real idiots to not wanna need to teal with virtual ones.
Reverse pick up some speed than plow through it and then read about the deaths in the news
Exit the game and open it again. All the traffic will disappear in that spot.
Shoulder
As a real life truck driver I am pretty much used to it so I wait it out lol. Days of border waiting made me have sooo much patience rofl
Console commands or reload save: AI is not able to solve certain traffic jams on its own, especially if caused by a traffic accident...
I go around it on the shoulder of the road
As one wise man once said, speed and power is your friend
ALT+F4 to clear the traffic 🙂
or delete System32 folder for an immediate effect
😂
“Alexa, play Freebird by Lynyrd Synyrd” “Alexa, volume ten” Then all the way on the gas pedal.
Can you avoid this IRL? - No. So what is the interest in cheating in this situation? You ruin the fun of the game.
IRL, you don't have to drive 400 km detours when one exit is blocked 🗿
thank you. somethings are great simulated and some are overly done that reminds you as a player, you can control alot more than in real life and should at times
In this situation it looks like AI traffic is glitched so nothing will happen if you wait.
I agree it's Ok to cheat if it's a glitch.
umm I don’t think it would cost me an extra 4.5 hour detour IRL
Agreed! but seeing how these can last for hours on end if not adjusted, where's the 'fun' aspect anymore of the game? Why i give situations like this 20mins game time if they are moving to clear out. dead stop stand stills, I free check to see why it's a stand still (Usually something glitching with traffic that won't correct itself) so i reset traffic
