Improved Traffic

Description
This mod aims to improve traffic spawn and behavior.

Vehicles will spawn in closer, similar distance to objects rendering on the horizon ahead. The maximum vehicle count is increased slightly from 50 to 60. The result is traffic spawning in sooner on new stretches of road yet shouldn't be overwhelming. This is not a grand re-design, just some slight tweaks to default.

46 more colors have been added to the list for vehicles to spawn with. Default color list is 17. Total colors for vehicles are up to 63!

Vehicle behavior has been modified to create a bit more impatience (road rage). Some vehicles will seem to speed. Some may even cause wrecks!

Files modded:
car_colors.sii
traffic_data.sii

This mod should be compatible with other vehicle packs, map packs, etc. Just not compatible with other traffic mods that change those files.

My ATS mods (all are intercompatible):
minimal adviser interface for ATS & ETS2
minimal adviser interface for ATS & ETS2_ top bar version
Alternate F2 Mirrors
Mixed Mirrors
Top Corner F2 Mirrors
Eaton Fuller Super 13 & Super 18 Transmissions
Realistic Economy

Most of the traffic is just cars, occasionally you see a truck passing in the oncoming lane.
Driving in my lane I don't see any trucks passing me.

Redacted the spawn in totals and tweaked other spawn settings to spread the traffic out a bit.

I upped the safety factor a bit and increased the number of vehicles that can be spawned in at one time.
