Dallas Used Cars - North Texas Hyundai

Ever been driving when traffic seems to slow down for no apparent reason? Scientists have studied this phenomenon actually and their findings might surprise you. At some point, every driver has encountered a traffic crawl or all-out traffic stop on a highway.

When a driver reduces speed on a highway from 60 mph to 50 mph, a chain reaction begins. As the first driver slows down to 50 mph, subsequent drivers will slow to 45 mph to maintain a safe distance. As drivers farther back notice brake lights, they will also slow down to compensate for the upcoming congestion.

During the holidays, numerous people will take to the streets making their way to see friends and family. If you don’t stick to a strict schedule, you could find yourself in a rush to get over the river and through the woods.

Shortly after, the first traffic light was put in place in jolly old England. The light used red and green lanterns to help pedestrian and buggy traffic flow more efficiently.
