We think #traffic jams need a trigger: #accident, #roadworks, lane closure
The most frustrating queues have no obvious cause at all. These are known as phantom traffic jams
Researchers asked 22 drivers to drive circular track & maintain constant speed & safe distance from vehicle in front
In minutes tiny, unavoidable braking differences grew into stop-start wave that travelled continuously around the circuit; Yet there being no obstacle anywhere

Hype for the Future 95/284: Ohio State Route 73
Introduction Within the State of Ohio, Route 73 is an east-west state highway that services the communities between the cities of Oxford in the west and Portsmouth in the east. Between the vicinity of Wilmington and Hillsboro, the state highway serves the role of a regional freeway; however, many of the more rural stretches elsewhere are simply two-lane roads. Communities Within the State of Ohio, Route 73 is notable for serving communities in Butler, Warren, Clinton, Highland, Adams, and […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/02/03/hype-for-the-future-95-284-ohio-state-route-73/

Hype for the Future 54G: The Combined New England State Highways
State Routes Throughout much of the New England region, state highway numbers can be redundant with one another quite intentionally, in numerous cases as a direct vestige to the New England Interstate Highway System. Though Route 2 in Massachusetts actually extends into New York retaining the same number, most of the routes that continue on into the latter will change route numbers at the state line. Perhaps the most iconic of the New England routes to remain intact into the modern day are […] -

I-10.
The drive from Palm Springs to Tucson is a little less than six hours. The most direct route is to just jump on Interstate 10 and head east, passing through Blythe and Phoenix before making the more familiar trip from Phoenix to Tucson.
Before getting to Buckeye, a small town about 45 miles west of Phoenix, there’s an electronic sign that shows the distance to Tucson via I-10 vs SR 85 to I-8 (the ‘Phoenix Bypass Route’). Today both numbers were neck in neck to the finish line, so we made our way down SR 85 to I-8.
Like I-10 from Palm Springs to Phoenix (with a brief moment of activity at Blythe), I-8 is very desolate from Gila Bend to Casa Grande, where the single digit ends and we’re brought back to I-10. This bypass not only bypasses driving through Phoenix, it also skips the notoriously backed up, significantly under capacity stretch from Queen Creek to Casa Grande, where the Interstate should probably be 3 or 4 lanes in each direction but it’s only two.
This is not ideal for a freeway between Arizona’s two largest cities. But the Gila River Indians had a different take on the subject and now the U.S. government likes to mess around with funding intended for the improvements needed on that stretch of highway.
There was talk of beefing up rail service between Tucson and Phoenix, and another study was initiated a month or two ago, but I probably won’t see anything significant in that arena in my lifetime.
At least our drive was very pleasant. I enjoy the desolate views.
