For better or worse, I find the whole topic of traffic flow management strangely interesting. So, I was delighted to stumble upon William Beaty’s article describing Physics For Bored Commuters, which describes ways you can influence the stop-go nature of cars in heavy traffic, once you are aware of the underlying processes at work.

Looking forward to trying it next time I’m caught in a jam…

(And if you enjoyed that article, you’ll also enjoy this one.)
