I think the wind did that.

Keep driving.

People have reported this as a bug several times in the two years I've been here, and I have always said it is a real natural occurrence and should not be considered a bug. I obviously have not been everywhere in the world, but I have been in many countries, and every road I have ever driven on that is more than a few years old (which obviously leaves out recently paved asphalt roads) has had cracks in it with little bits of vegetation growing from them in places. Not everywhere, but just here and there.

Anyone who says this is not the case is not very observant. I consider these little bits of grass on the road in a few places in ETS2 as being very close to reality, and not a bug. If it was intentional, it is as it should be. If it was not intentional, it is as Bob Ross would say, a "Happy little accident". But either way, I hope SCS will leave it be...

But the roads in SCS's Europe don't have cracks in them and no random close/repair works. What i want to say it's that the game gives no reason to think that grass should be there.

Sure it does. There are cracks drawn in some road surface images, and there are places where road repairs are simulated. And that is a key concept here. ETS2 is a simulation. What is it simulating if not reality? [ external image ]
