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

Lets pause a minute to ask perhaps the most consequential Q. that many of us will confront this summer....
when you're stuck in a traffic jam on the motorway, should you change lanes to the one that seems to be moving the fastest?
Here's a holistic analysis (and conclusion) suggesting changing lanes doesn't work.... Its an interesting argument but doesn't completely accord with my own experience as a frequent user of the M6.

Good work by #lorry driver - keeping occupants of small car that has broken down on "smart" #motorway safe and calling nines so #Police and #NationalHighways are aware - it took 5 mins on 999 call, and 13 further minutes for National Highways to arrive on scene, and #drivers are barely noticing stationary lorry (further ahead the matrix sign is showing "national speed limit", which suggests there has already been a restriction on previous signs so drivers are likely trying to accelerate to get back to 70mph (112 km/h)
These smart #motorways are not safe (thankfully there are no further ones being built)

Achieving meaningful lives within planetary boundaries?
"Renewables are already much cheaper than fossil fuels. Alas, fossil fuels are up to three times as profitable. Thus capital forces governments to link electricity prices to the price of the most expensive liquified natural gas, not of cheap solar energy. Similarly, building and maintaining motorways is many times more lucrative for private contractors, car manufacturers and oil companies than a modern network of superfast, safe public railways. So capitalists continue to push our governments to subsidise fossil fuels and road building, even while the world burns."
"...Capital uses every tool at its disposal – debt, sanctions, coups and even outright military invasion to keep southern economies subordinate."
