About this listen

After miles of crawling traffic, the road suddenly clears. There was no accident, construction or closed lane. So what caused the jam? This chapter explores phantom traffic jams: waves of congestion that can begin with a tiny slowdown and travel backward for miles. Speed, vehicle density, reaction times and collective behavior reveal how hundreds of drivers can end up nearly stopped even though nobody deliberately created the problem. Sometimes traffic does not need an obstacle. It only needs enough cars reacting to one another.
