The small amount of discomfort you experience from people driving too slowly is nothing compared to the impacts of people trying to drive as fast as possible. Turns out, that traffic paradoxically moves FASTER (in the aggregate) when you reduce speed limits.

No, you do not need to pass slower traffic. Turn your radar cruise control on, enjoy your tunes, and learn to delay gratification.
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoThe root cause is speed differential between traffic elements or groups thereof. You can either bring the upper bound down with draconian enforcement or you can bring the lower bound up, mostly by raising the statutory speed limit. The latter is far more popular.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoAcceleration differential is also a cause, which cannot be fixed.
