Reducing Traffic
Not just “Why”, but also: “What you can do to fix traffic.” Short version:
- Leave more space between you and the car in front of you.
- Accelerate earlier & more slowly. Decelerate less often & less jarringly.
- Yes, use that empty lane that ends & converges into the ones beside it.
- Zipper merge, and allow other people to zipper merge.
And I’ll add one of my own: 5. Wave courteously & generally be nice to other drivers, because the above 4 points only work when people feel like other people are being nice to them.
