Traffic Road

Summary

Traffic Road puts you behind the handlebars of a huge selection of motorbikes before throwing you onto the highway with oncoming highway traffic as you do your best to swerve and avoid crashing into it at increasingly ridiculous speeds.

The difficulty level ramps up quickly once two-way traffic and nighttime rain start testing your nerves, and the first-person perspective makes it feel extra intense. It’s the closest you’ll get to the real-world experience in your browser, with a whole lot less risk involved!

You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the amount on offer for a browser traffic game. You not only get a packed showroom full of bikes to unlock (and upgrade), but also multiple game modes, including a long career to work through, that lets you venture across two islands.

The physics are super smooth and optimized, even on lower-spec devices, and the graphics look great (especially on the higher settings).

Whether you’re threading millimeter gaps in Career, grinding away for cash in Endless, or cranking the traffic density to 100% in Free Ride to see how long you can last, it’s the kind of game that you’ll keep coming back to. And, you’ll earn increasingly high daily rewards for doing so – winning!

Physics

The physics are truly impressive for a browser game, and it’s undoubtedly up there with the best. Your bike remains super predictable, even at breakneck speeds, and the weight shifts feel smooth enough to commit to gaps between the traffic with full confidence.

If you’ve spent time enjoying our selection of drifting games, those skills will come in use more here than you might think. Reading the traffic ahead is similar to figuring out when to initiate a drift or your positioning during battles. Reacting to a car suddenly pulling into your lane is the same snap decision you’d make catching oversteer mid-corner or avoiding a spin-out up ahead.

Drifting weight transfer fundamentals apply here, too, as the bike’s balance shifts as you fling it side-to-side. Understanding this will be the difference between a near-miss bonus and a faceplant into a truck.

Traffic Road might feel familiar to Moto Road Rash 3D fans, though this older game lacks some of the features and refinements you’ll find here.

If you’ve enjoyed this and want something similar to try, Moto Traffic Rider offers a similar experience with a more forgiving difficulty curve and more upgrade options, though Traffic Road’s graphics and polished graphics are a clear step above.

Graphics

Traffic Road looks awesome, especially on ‘High’ settings (the recommended default). The highways, bike models, and vehicle detail are all solid, and the weather and lighting effects during evening, night, and rain scenarios add real atmosphere and another layer of challenge.

You can try dropping to ‘Medium’ or ‘Low’ in settings if performance is an issue, but it’s worth pushing for ‘High’ if your device can handle it.

Controls

PC/laptop/Chromebook

• Up arrow – Accelerate
• Down arrow – Brake/reverse
• Left arrow – Steer left
• Right arrow – Steer right
• W – Wheelie (only when wheelie bar is full)
• R – Horn
• Q – Turn head left
• E – Turn head right

The ‘Q’ and ‘E’ head-turn controls are handy for checking gaps and scanning for traffic around you, but be warned that there’s a slight delay, which isn’t ideal at full throttle. Test it in Free Ride before trying it when it matters in the Career levels.

Mobile/tablet (iOS/Android)

• Press the on-screen buttons

Traffic Road works perfectly on mobile devices with several control layouts in the Settings menu. Choose between tilt, on-screen buttons, handlebar, or gamepad steering, with adjustable sensitivity and manual or auto throttle/gears.

How to play Traffic Road

Initial setup

A daily bonus screen greets you on launch with $100,000 and 100 G’s (the game’s coin currency). Return each day, and the payouts escalate, reaching $5,000,000 and 500 G’s by day five. For this reason, it’s well worth logging in even on days you don’t have enough spare time to play.

Your profile sits in the top-left corner with stats covering distance, ride time, max speed, crashes, and more. Cash and G’s balance are displayed in the top right. Hit settings in the bottom left to adjust audio, graphics quality, and advanced options like mph/km/h toggle, left-hand driving, weather effects, and blood effects.

Getting started

Head to the garage to check out the 30 bikes (covered in the ‘Vehicle Selection’ below), then hit the green ‘Next’ button in the bottom-right to go to the mode select screen. All four modes are available from the start.

If you’re not sure what to go with, we recommend having a quick free ride before jumping into Career when you’re ready. Each mission has a different (displayed) objective, and the early levels are super forgiving, with simple one-way traffic and generous time limits. Pay attention to the details on the right, as they tell you exactly what each level entails.

One big difference from most traffic games is that some games let you “bounce” off the guardrails, but it’ll result in an immediate game over here.

Focus on keeping your lines clean, try to stay above 100 km/h for additional speed bonuses, and pass vehicles as close as possible (with caution, of course!) to earn near-miss combo multipliers.

Practice popping a wheelie (W key) once the bar fills for bonus points, but it’s recommended to try this in Free Ride first, as you’ll see how little visibility you have (which varies between bikes).

Only try it when the road ahead is clear, and you can consider attempting some riskier moves once you’re confident.

Game modes

Career

Career spans across two islands, with the first needing completion before the second unlocks. Each level pays cash, and you’ll also earn bonus ‘G’ coins for things like finishing early. It starts off simple with a clear day and one-way traffic. But, before you know it, you’ll be up against two-way traffic on rainy night levels as you progress.

As well as the typical time-based challenges, you’ll also have different tasks like overtaking 10 cars in 40 seconds. It sounds simple until you realize their concept of ‘overtaking’ is the ‘near miss’ combo bonus, where you almost need to skim your handlebars down the side of the cars!

If (rather, when!) you crash, you’ll have the option to restart from your current spot for one ‘G’ coin, or go back to the beginning for free.

Payouts scale with difficulty, eventually reaching $40,000 with 18 bonus coins on offer in the first island’s final level, and a whopping $80,000 with up to 60 bonus coins on the second.

Endless

This mode is great for grinding cash fast. You get to choose between one-way and two-way traffic (two-way offers much quicker earnings and bigger bonuses), then pick a stage.

The standard Highway is free from the start, while Desert, City, and Winter stages need to be unlocked, along with evening and night scenarios.

Time Trial

You’ll need to cover as much distance as possible within a set time (shown on the right)

Crashing doesn’t end the run, as you’re able to just get back on and keep going. This makes it more ideal than the other modes, where you have to restart.

Free Ride

Pick a stage, choose your preferred traffic density (with a slider from 0% to 100%), and then ride with no timers, missions, or payouts. If you can handle 100% density here, you’re ready for anything the game has to throw at you!

It’s also the ideal opportunity to practice the head-turn controls and popping wheelies before using them in Career.

Traffic Road is single player only, but if you want to head online, Drift King is the most popular free multiplayer browser drifting game right now, featuring real-time lobbies, awesome tracks, and satisfying physics.

Alternatively, if you’re looking for online stunt-based chaos, Madalin Stunt Cars 3 provides 34 cars (but no bikes), all unlocked from the start, along a selection of massive open maps.

Vehicle selection

The showroom features 30 bikes ranging from modern superbikes, cruisers, mopeds, scooters, dirt bikes, choppers, and old-school classics to some wild custom bikes.

Most are cash purchases, with the most expensive setting you back $1,250,000. However, a few require purchasing with G coins. Thankfully, the daily login bonuses alone will make buying those achievable within a week, as you’ll get $5,000,000 and 500 G coins just for logging in on Day 5 alone!

Each bike has different base stats. The ‘Power’ stat on the starter bike maxes out at 240 top speed when fully upgraded, while the fastest bike is capable of hitting 330, so there’s a serious performance gap to work towards. Although you’ll soon realize that speed isn’t everything in this game, you’ll want to consider your next upgrades carefully.

If you’re looking for more two-wheeled options, Downhill Car Ride: Crash Test lets you launch a crash test dummy off giant downhill ramps and see how much damage you can cause. If you want some wheelie-focused fun, Super Mario Wheelie is a quick-fix fun option that’s worth a try.

Fancy something completely different? Slow Roads lets you take a chilled-out cruise on an EV-powered motorbike through the quaint British countryside landscapes. Needless to say, it’s a change of scenery from this in more ways than one! 

Upgrades

Each bike has three upgrade categories – ‘Power’, ‘Handling’, and ‘Braking’. These can be accessed via the first (up arrow) icon at the top of the garage screen.

The stat display makes it convenient to plan for any potential upgrades. The red bar shows your current spec, the green section previews the next upgrade’s gain, and the grey part represents its eventual potential when fully upgraded.

The starter bike has seven upgrade levels, and you’ll notice a real difference with each tier. Upgrades aren’t shared across bikes, so each new purchase starts from stock. It’s often worth investing in your current ride before buying a new one.

There’s no fine-tweaking of the suspension geometry, tire compounds, or forced induction upgrades here. If these kinda things sound appealing, Force Drift Racing: Aussie Burnout has the most advanced tuning system in any browser game, covering everything from Ackermann steering angle through to damper settings. 

Drift Hunters MAX is another step up, offering the ultimate browser-based drifting package with realistic physics, stunning graphics, and plenty of tuning for nearly 40 cars, with 13 tracks, and a similar AI traffic mode to drift around.

Customization

Alongside the performance upgrades, you also get three visual options in the garage.

Clicking the paintbrush icon offers a full color palette where you can give your bike a respray for $500.

You can also change Gloves, which range from $1,000 to $5,000. This might sound like a gimmick, but it’s one of the first things you’ll notice in the first-person view.

Decals let you apply a range of stickers to personalize your bike for just $100 each, with four potential slots to fill.

If you’re after more visual customization options, UNBOUNDED is the standout in browser gaming right now, offering aftermarket bodykits, underglow, and multiple headlight designs where you’ll get to shred tires online through nighttime city. You can also explore our racing games and simulator games collections for plenty more options.

Advanced tips & tricks

Use Free Ride to get to grips with the most challenging aspects

Crank the traffic density up to 100 and spend time getting familiar with the physics, handling, controls, and when it’s safe to pop a wheelie. You’ll also learn how close you can get without crashing and how traffic behaves. If you do crash, you can hop back on and pick up where you left off.

Stay above 100 km/h whenever possible

The high-speed bonus on offer for doing so stacks on top of your near-miss combos, and the potential earnings will have you racking up the cash in no time. Braking to avoid a crash is always the right call, but if you can thread a gap at speed without needing to slow down too much, you’ll be rewarded for doing so.

Only pull off wheelies when you’ve got a clear lane (or two) up ahead

As soon as you pull a wheelie (you can only do so when the icon is purple), your bike tilts to the sky, and you only get a small glimpse of what’s happening on the road ahead, although some bikes are worse than others here. Your steering inputs also become super-sensitive, so this definitely isn’t the ideal time for taking big risks through small gaps!

Don’t ignore the daily bonuses

Five consecutive days will reward you with a whopping $5,000,000 and 500 G’s. That’s enough to buy the ultimate bike and upgrade it to its maximum potential in a single payout.
