Hidden Roads Study – June, 20 2026
Both ATS and ETS2 1.60 are here and all secret roads are found in both games (I hope I haven’t missed any). Final guide for Europe with 114 roads is available on my channel but for ATS it would be bigger guide since the total count of hidden roads now about 281 and you can grab separately all roads in December 2025 guide + Route 66 paths + Illinois DLC. So I need to combine all of them and it will take time. I hope to finish it in June, early July but no rush here because other hot content expected first. You don’t like to wait for Map Combos and fast game version change stress us to update mods again.
As always one of the reason I skip mid-tier guide videos comes down to how YouTube ranks and promotes content. Older videos usually appear first, while guide-style videos below them tend to have very poor discoverability and low view counts. I don’t really want to spend dozens of hours making a guide that ends up with 1000 views. (December ATS version guide below currently has around 1.4K views) The same issue affects 100% discovery guides and map combo content. I know there’s interest from my audience, but without YouTube helping push this type of content, it quickly gets buried.
Below you’ll find all hidden roads in ATS in version 1.57 without mentioned above updates and additional vids for Illinois and Route 66. And latest one for ETS2. You can also check the complete list of cities with hidden paths here: https://trucksim.top/y9t6. It probably won’t reveal the exact secret road locations, but it can help you figure out if you missed any areas.
I’ve been covering hidden secret roads in both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 since 2022, when the feature was first introduced in ETS2 and ATS 1.44.
ETS2 (updated 06.01.2026, actual on 1.59 with Benelux Rework and all map DLCs, 114 roads so far)
ATS (updated 12.26.2025, actual on 1.57 with Louisiana DLC, 245 roads so far)

Hidden Roads Study – June, 2 2026
On new version for both ATS and ETS2 1.59 it was added numerous secret roads. In Europe it is Benelux rework and Volvo Experience Center. for America – new Illinois DLC. I just updated ETS2 guide adding 4 new roads in Luxembourg, Netherlands and Sweden (see below video) but for ATS it would be bigger guide since the total count of hidden roads now more than 267 and the journey in Illinois is in progress so probably the count will be bigger. So American guide will take time and I skipped about 18 Route 66 paths for now to provide more consistent list.

Hidden Roads Study – May, 16 2026
Since the last update, both ATS and ETS2 1.59 and the Benelux rework for ETS2 have been released, alongside the Illinois DLC for American Truck Simulator. ATS 1.58 already added numerous new secret roads, and I had been considering updating the America guide after finding around 18 additional hidden roads, bringing the total to roughly 263 (though I may remove some older unmarked ones). With Illinois now released, I’m sure there are even more hidden roads waiting to be discovered, so the guide will continue growing as I explore the new map.
The reason I mostly skip mid-tier guide videos comes down to how YouTube ranks and promotes content. Older videos usually appear first, while guide-style videos below them tend to have very poor discoverability and low view counts. I don’t really want to spend dozens of hours making a guide that ends up with 900 views. (The ETS2 guide currently has around 2.3K views, while the ATS version is still about 1.2K.) The same issue affects 100% discovery guides and map combo content. I know there’s interest from my audience, but without YouTube helping push this type of content, it quickly gets buried.
Below you’ll find all hidden roads in ATS and ETS2 discovered in version 1.57 and later updates. You can also check the complete list of cities with hidden paths here: https://trucksim.top/y9t6.

Hidden Roads Study – April, 15 2026
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.

Hidden Roads Study – March, 13 2026
Since the last update we have numerous new secret roads in ATS 1 .58 I was thinking about updating the guide for America – I found already 18 new hidden roads and still in progress (mostly checking the correctness of them than discovery). But I believe soon we will see also new Illinois DLC so can expect new secrets on that new state. Unfortunately youtube rank and promote older videos first and below guides have a very bad discoverability and low views. So I don’t want to spent a lot of time for guide with 700 views.

ATS 1.58 Secret Roads of Route 66 Rework
I continue to discover reworked map of Route 66 in ATS 1.58 and found already 15 hidden markable roads. Not sure that I will update Big guide until Illinois DLC this spring. Latest videos attract less attention and have very low views.
Below you can see couple videos with hidden paths in Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico.
And overall 1.58 changes and Route 66 teasers

[Guide] How to open 100% map in ATS with all DLC incl. Louisiana
This guide is little outdated if you switched to 1.58, where there are extra roads added but it is still actual and can be used to start with kind of 96%. And for 1.57 with Pelican State (Louisiana) here is whole 100% profile and source file.
Obviously you need all map DLC and as always I would like to remind you to back up before doing anything with your profiles.
