## Recommended FPS Values

| FPS | Recommendation                                         |
| --- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| 60  | Original game behavior                                 |
| 120 | **Recommended**                                        |
| 144 | Usually stable on high-refresh systems                 |

## Notes

Very high FPS values can affect traffic behavior and game timing. If traffic appears too fast or inconsistent, use **120 FPS** for the best balance of smoothness and stability.
