There is another type of jam which is stop light jams which is caused by people accelerating to slowly and taking up to much space between cars.
The same behavior that reduces stress on the high way can in that case actually increase stress on smaller roads.
- ArkyBeagle 11y agoSome stop lights are really regulators - they reduce flow to another larger artery. For those, no behavior will improve throughput. People going too slowly is not going to necessarily have a negative impact on throughput. It can - there are sets of roads that just are this way ( what you refer to as smaller roads ). I see at least three run stoplights a week, so I'm more careful about starting than I used to be.
