OT: Traffic patterns...Fluid dynamics
http://www.amasci.com/amateur/traffic/traffic1.html
No, it's really not boring. This is how to get traffic unstuck. Finally, an end to traffic jams!
This is not an in-character post.

Re: OT: Traffic patterns...Fluid dynamics
As geekish as this sounds, I have pondered the similarity between traffic patterns and fluid dynamics many times over the years. Must be my geeky ME background. I have also tried some of those "anti-traffic" techniques the guy listed - and I can say that they do work.
But mostly in traffic I ponder the benefits of getting a helicopter. A military attack helicopter. With lots of guns and missiles to vaporize that BLEEPer up front causing the slowdown!  THAT WILL TEACH HIM!  But I digress, besides, I don't think those things are for sale...

Or get one of those monster trucks with huge wheels that could just drive over and crush any cars in the way. 
Sometimes, traffic jams happen for silly reasons, like drivers slowing down just to look at a guy who's stopped on the side of the road to change a tire. |

Great site Narf!
But I wonder why so many people are in the wrong lane.  I have no trouble getting in the right lane early.

Wow. Could I really use this to make the Great Satan (the 405) stop taking years off my life?

I always thought a nice M1 Abrams would unjam traffic nicely.

Ahh, I did some of that unintentionally in Toronto and on Highway 8.

"Look ma, no hands!", "Wook ma, no teef!"
* For those who don't get it, that was originally a joke about a kid on a bike.
