traffic waves
Bookmarked 768 weeks ago main site: http:trafficwavesorgwatch at 0:01 to see the fight that causes this exit-lane backup not the worse example i039ve seen thoughon seattle i-5 this left exit-only lane is usually backed up by a 12-mile during rush hour the left exit ramp leads into the high speed quotexpress lanesquot under the city but if it039s jammed you039ll lose more time in the jam than you gain from getting on to the express lane also if you miss getting into that lane early then you039re screwed since nobody in the row of 200 cars will let you in merging drivers coming in from righthand ramps are blocked by those already in the jam and while stuck in that jam you have to sit in line for many minutes driving like 2mph just a few drivers occasionally force their way in aggressively but that nearly halts the exit-lane flowbut if i let ten cars merge ahead of me as i approach the jam like magic the whole thing evaporates and everyone takes off at high speed sometimes it doesn039t work every timeunfortunately this video can039t show you the view from above also you can039t see behind me so you can039t see that my quotholequot is the only one in a very long row of cars also you can039t see the size of the reliable daily jam that was there on every other day or the jam ahead of me before i arrived and started draining the jam by letting people mergenote that letting some cars get ahead of you is nothing it doesn039t slow you down on a 30min congested commute at 65mph 2sec between cars if you instead drove 5mph slower than the rest how many other cars would pass you seventy five in other words you039re only a quotslowpokequot when a stunningly huge numbers of cars pass you on the same commute letting a few 10 cars merge will slow you down insignificantly: by 20sec out of 30min or less than 1mph slowing 645mph not 65mph ten cars one way or another is too small to matterconversely if you want to drive significantly faster than everyone else then you need to pass 50-100 other drivers to shorten your commute by a minute or two if you only managed to pass a few cars that039s called failure and your speed wasn039t increased enough to matternote: trolls ampamp spammers blocked immediately zero tolerance |
