Traffic Cars

Traffic Cars are non-playable cars that appear driving through the cities or found parked. They appear in every Midnight Club game, including Midnight Club: Street Racing, Midnight Club II,  Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition, Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Remix, Midnight Club: Los Angeles', and Midnight Club: Los Angeles Remix. Their purpose is to not only decorate the cities they appear in and make them look alive, but also to serve as hazards for other racers. The traffic is heavily scripted in Midnight Club II.

Traffic Cars in Midnight Club: Street Racing
Midnight Club: Street Racing is the first Midnight Club game in the entire series. It features the cities of New York City and London, England. Though many cars such as Taxi Cabs and the RTS bus are playable in the game, there are a few cars in this game that cannot be driven at all.

It has 52 traffic cars in the entire game. Different types of traffic cars appear for each of the three cities. Traffic cars that appear in Los Angeles will appear as old well-known North American cars. Traffic cars in Paris are cars commonly found in Europe in real life.

Traffic Cars in Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition
Most traffic cars in this game only appear in certain races and do not appear outside of races at all. The only exceptions of this are the Honda Civic, Toyota Tacoma, Honda Odyssey, GMC RTS, Mitsubishi Fuso Aero Star and Utilimaster Aeromaster. Should a traffic car be hit, it will swerve making skidding noises and stop. After a while, it will continue driving again. However, if a traffic car is hit hard enough, it will have dents in it and put on its hazard lights, therefore it will stay where it is forever afterwards. Light traffic cars will only slow down racers who hits them, however, much heavier vehicles such as trucks and buses will usually slow down or completely stop whoever hits them. Two special abilities affect traffic cars in this game: Roar and Agro. Agro is used on SUVs and Luxury Sedans. When used, Agro causes the screen to turn red and makes the player's car much stronger. Cars hit when using Agro will be sent a great distance and take intense damage. Roar, when used, causes all nearby traffic to swerve around in all sorts of directions, clearing the player's area. It is useful in areas filled with traffic cars such as freeways, and can also be used to swerve traffic into other racers a little ahead of the player. It is to note that most traffic cars are either from Midnight Club: Street Racing or Midnight Club II, however, they have a little less detail than in those games.

Honda Civic
This car is among the most common traffic cars and always appears outside of races, though it also does appear in races as well. In some races, it can be found involved in car accidents. Based on the 2000-2005 Honda Civic and is a returning car from Midnight Club II. It is found in San Diego, Atlanta, Detroit and Tokyo (Remix only) It can be found parked and driving around.

However, in Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Remix, the Odyssey is not present in Tokyo. It can be found driving around or found parked.

GMC RTS
This bus looks very similar to the GMC RTS, however, its rear is a little different from the real bus. It is a returning bus from Midnight Club II. The bus appears in San Diego, Atlanta and Detroit (both inside races and during cruise mode) with different vinyls and destination signs per city. For example, the GMC RTS in Atlanta is based off of a real life MARTA bus due to its MARTA-like vinyls on it. This bus is a hard obstacle, therefore crashing into it almost always puts the player to a complete stop. Pushing it out of the way after crashing into it will get you nowhere. It is replaced with the Mitsubishi Fuso Aero Star in Tokyo. It can be found parked or driving around.

Utilimaster Aeromaster
This truck is based off the real life Utilimaster Aeromaster and is a returning truck from Midnight Club: Street Racing. It only appears in races in San Diego, but appears during cruise mode in Atlanta and Detroit. This truck is another hard obstacle like the GMC RTS, therefore, the player will get nowhere after crashing into it and trying to push it out of the way. It can be found parked or driving around.

Chevrolet Impala SS Taxi
This taxi is based off the real Chevrolet Impala SS in the game. It only appears in races in San Diego, Atlanta and Detroit. Black and yellow (Detroit) ,white and yellow (Atlanta) ,yellow (San Diego) color scheme and a large front grill. It can be found parked or driving around.

Chevrolet Impala SS Police
These cars, like the taxi, are based off the real Chevrolet Impala SS and are very similar to the real NPC Police that chase the player. They mostly appear in races in San Diego and can be found in groups, as shown in the picture to the left, or on their way to car accidents (or already at car accidents). In races, they will chase other traffic cars. They will never chase the player if they speed past them, unlike the real NPC Police. There is usually an NPC police that will chase racers, who is hiding in front of these traffic police cars. It can be found driving around or found parked.

Ford E-350 Ambulance (Detroit)
This ambulance is only found in Detroit and is based off the real Ford E-350 Ambulance and is a returning ambulance from Midnight Club II. It only appears during races. The ambulance has a white and blue color scheme and a red lightbar. It can be found rushing to car accidents or already at car accidents. If it is hit while rushing, it will swerve around and crash, much like hitting any other moving traffic car. This Detroit Ambulance cannot never found parked in any races. It can only be found driving around.

Chevrolet Monte Carlo
This car resembles a 1979 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, a playable car in the game, and is only seen in races. It only comes in one color which is a baby blue. Crashing into this car will slow racers down heavily, unless Agro is used. It can be seen driving around or parked in San Diego, Atlanta and Detroit.

It is a utility truck and has two traffic cones on its front grill. It only appears in races. It can be found parked or driving around.

Freightliner Century Class C-120 Tanker
This tanker truck is based off the real life Freightliner Century Class tractor trailers and is a returning truck from Midnight Club II. It is found only in a few races in the cities. Much like with the GMC RTS and Utilimaster Aeromaster, colliding into one of these can be quite a hazard. This is because the player will slow down, if not stop completely if they crash into one of these. Pushing it out of the way will not help at all. It is possible to drive through the gap under the tanker as a shortcut to dodging and avoiding a collision with it. It can be found parked or driving around.

Freightliner Century Class C-120 Tractor Trailer
This tractor trailer is also based on the Freightliner Century Class tractor trailers and is a returning truck from Midnight Club II. It is way more common than its tanker counterpart and only appears in races. In races, due to its long length and heavy weight, this truck is mostly used as a road blockage, for many times it will appear directly in front of the racers, giving them little time to turn to avoid hitting it. It can also appear driving around in a few races. Colliding into one of these can cause great damage to the truck and obviously, the player's race position. The truck's trailer is very fragile and can sometimes cause the whole truck to flip over in one crash. If you have collided into one of these, quickly back up and pick up some speed. It is possible, only with cars with lower ride height, to drive through the gap under the trailer as a shortcut to dodging and avoiding a collision with it. It can be found parked or driving around. Despite the cab colored blue, it somewhat resembles the trucks used by Gordon Trucking Inc (GTI), though the trailer doesn't have a logo.

GMC L-Model
This truck is a large truck based on the old tractor trailer, the GMC L-Model. It is only found in races, usually in those that involve going through industrial areas such as warehouses and docks. Again, like with any other large traffic car, racers will get nowhere after hitting these and trying to push them out of the way. Therefore it is wise to just back up and continue racing after hitting one. It can be found driving around in the docks, but it cannot be found parked in any races.

GMC W-Series
This flatbed tow truck is based on the GMC version of the Isuzu Elf. It only appears in races. It can occasionally be found driving around or at car accidents. It appears in all cities. It can be found parked or driving around.

Crashing into this heavy truck can be quite a problem since it slows down or stops the player who hits it, however, it is advised to just reverse and continue driving after hitting it. It can be found parked or driving around.

1988 International 4000-Series
These trucks are based off the older version of the International 4000-series and is a returning truck from Midnight Club II. They can appear in either an orange snow plow truck as seen to the left <, or a yellow utility truck as seen to the right >. They only appear in races, mostly in the city of Detroit. The snow plow is only found in Detroit since it is the only city to feature snow. The yellow 1988 International 4000-Series can be found in all cities. These trucks can be found driving around or found parked.

Kenworth W900
The Kenworth W900 is a cement truck based off the real Kenworth W900 tractor trailer. It only appears in races and is quite a rare traffic car. The vehicle is a heavy vehicle, therefore crashing into one will slow down or stop any racer who hits it. It can be found driving around or found parked.

KME Renegade
This fire truck is based on KME Renegade fire truck. It only appears in races, however, it is one of the most common traffic vehicles that only appear in races. It can usually be found parked already at car accidents and is rarely found driving around during a race. This vehicle is heavy so crashing into one will slow down or stop whoever hits it. It can be found parked or driving around.

Mitsubishi Fuso Aero Star
This bus only appears in Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Remix and is a returning bus from Midnight Club II. It appears in the city of Tokyo and replaces the GMC RTS bus that appears in all three other cities.

The truck, like before, has a green body with "WASTE DISPOSAL" on its sides. "WASTE DISPOSAL", hinted by its yellow and green logo, is a parody of Waste Management". This truck is usually found in alleyways driving around and sometimes in industrial areas. It is a heavy vehicle, therefore crashing into it will slow down or stop any racer who hits it. It can never be found parked in any races. It can only be found driving around

Toyota Tacoma Lifeguard
This truck only appears in San Diego, obviously since San Diego is the only city in the game to feature ocean water (excluding Tokyo) and beaches. These trucks are just yellow lifeguard versions of the original traffic Toyota Tacoma. It is very rare and only appears in races involving coming near the beach such as Coastal Chaos. Crashing into this truck is no different from crashing into a regular Toyota Tacoma traffic car. It can be found parked or driving around at the beach.

Chevrolet Astro Van
This traffic vehicle is incredibly rare and only appears in races. It is a repair van based on the second generation Chevrolet Astro. It can be identified by its white color, square shape (opposite of the other van in the game, the Honda Odyssey) and its traffic cones on both its front and rear. As mentioned above, the van is incredibly rare but it appears in all cities in one race (Only in San Diego and Detroit.) It does appears lots of races in Atlanta. (It can be found driving around, but it can only be found parked in one race in Detroit.

Midnight Club: Los Angeles
This game features two types of traffic cars. It features cars from Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition, both playable cars and nonplayable traffic cars as well as regular or odd-looking versions of real life cars (in a similar manner to GTA cars). Traffic cars in this game look more realistic and almost exactly like playable cars in the game, except for the fact that they cannot be driven. However, traffic cars also have more strength than in Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition, therefore hitting one, light or heavy, can slow down or completely stop racers. Also, all traffic cars can be encountered during cruise mode, unlike in Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition where nearly all of them only appear in races. Roar and Agro reappear in this game, and they have the same effect on traffic cars when used as in Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition. This time however, certain cars appear in certain areas.
