Victor GanataScrewing around with traffic patterns on the freeway. To me this is just common sense. When you see traffic slowing down in front of you, shouldn't you always keep a big space in front of you? Just for the sake of having enough braking space in case some

TRAFFIC "EXPERIMENTS" AND A CURE FOR WAVES & JAMS 1998 William Beaty Electrical Engineer WAVES MERGE-JAMS EMAIL LINKS FAQ COMMENTS My first 'experiment': accidentally erasing waves! Once upon a time, years ago, I was driving through a number of stop/go traffic waves on I-520 at rush hour in Seattle. I decided to try something. On a day when I immediately started hitting the usual "waves" of stopped traffic, I decided to drive smoothly. Rather than repeatedly rushing ahead with everyone else, only to come to a halt, I decided to try to move at the average speed of the traffic. I let a huge gap open up ahead of me, and timed things so I was arriving at the next "stop-wave" just as the last red brakelights were turning off ahead of me. It certainly felt weird to have that huge empty space ahead of me, but I knew I was driving no slower than anyone else. Sometimes I hit it just right and never had to touch the brakes at all. Other times I was too fast or slow. There were many "waves" that evening, and this gave me many opportunities to improve my skill as I drove along.
