Since the last update, ATS 1.58 has added numerous new secret roads, and I’ve been thinking about updating the guide for America — I found about 18 new hidden roads, bringing the total to around 263 (though I may remove some of the older unmarked ones). However, we’re very close to the new Illinois DLC, and I’m sure it will add even more roads. As I explore it, the guide will grow significantly.

The reason I mostly skip mid-tier videos is how YouTube ranks and promotes content — older videos come first, and guide-style videos below that have very poor discoverability and low view counts. I don’t want to invest a lot of time into a guide that ends up with 900 views. (The ETS2 guide has 1.7K views, while the ATS one is still at 970.) The same goes for 100% discovery guides and map combos. I know my audience is interested in this kind of content, but without YouTube’s help in promoting it, it just keeps getting buried.

Below you’ll find all hidden roads in ATS and ETS2 discovered in version 1.57. You can see the complete list of cities with hidden paths here: https://trucksim.top/y9t6. It probably won’t help with exact secret locations, but you can use it to check if you’ve missed any.

I’ve been sharing hidden secret roads in both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 periodically since 2022, when this feature was introduced in ETS2 and ATS 1.44. For now, though, I’m reducing my uploads and letting others take over this coverage.

ETS2 (updated 01.24.2026, actual on 1.58 with Scandinavia Refresh and Nordic Horizon DLC, 110 roads so far)
