this totally makes sense. i was in gatanga over the weekend and noticed the traffic jam waves on thika road esp around zebra crossings. kumbe i can single-handedly solve the problem by just keeping a "buffer zone" between me and the next driver!

Interesting. And I thought that traffic is reduced by keeping the space between you and the car ahead as minimal as possible to prevent overlappers from cutting in front of you. There's also the waiting thing when drivers slow down to see what's causing an accident and the seconds end up building over time and a jam is created when it could have been avoided (the jam that is).

This doesn't work in our society. It assumes everyone keeps to their lane. In our world, if you leave some space between you and the car ahead, other will speed form the other lane into that space you left thereby beating your beautiful experiment.

I usually create a buffer in such a way that I block other traffic from tryin something funny like going around you to fill the space you have left infront -\ This gives the drivers ahead in the locked situation enough wiggle room to untangle themselves.
