How can we stop traffic jams?

I really hate traffic jams, due to that there is too much cars. How can we stop the traffic jams?

There is nothing you can do. Even if you raise the speed limit or add more lanes, traffic will always bunch up because people don't know how to drive in it.

Our local government need to spend money on better public transtortaion. People have to be willing to use public transportation and or bicycle to places. Besides that nothing really.

Don't Drive :D

It seems a lot of the congestion on highways is caused by lots of lane-changing during high-volume times, mostly from on-ramps. The problems could be alleviated with clever engineering and design, but never eliminated. That's my take.vgm007

Then we'll have air traffic jams. I hope you like living without the sun.

Stop building suburbs and stop designing cities which are meant for cars. By eliminating the suburbs and concentrating on high density housing, it will also result in an easier time for cities to design mass transit to fulfill the needs of everyone and helpe eliminate quite a bit of the rush hour traffic on the road. However, everyone in this continent wants a house with a huge front and backyard even if it means they have to spend and hour or more commuting to work everyday in a car.
I blame it on the suburbs and people's love for cars and hate for mass transit and carpooling.

How about letting people use whatever transportation mode they please, and expanding the capacity of those different modes to adequately support the amount of people that choose to use them?

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]Suburbs have nothing to do with it. Traffic jams generally are on freeways.

Well how do most people get to work in the morning from the suburbs? I'm willing to bet a huge number of them use the freeway since its the fastest route to get to the centre of most cities.

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]People work all over. Not just downtown. Again, suburbs or where anyone lives has nothing to do with congestion. Poor driving does.

Huge trucks that can ride on top of each other.

Drive a monster truck, they shouldn't bother you then.markop2003

So you're telling me that where someone lives and work has absolutely nothing to do with the amount of cars and therefore congestion on the roads and freeways? Yes poor driving is a factor in congestion but you cant say that location of where people live and work has nothing to do with congestion, that doesnt make sense.

carrot-cake

Right, so you're telling me that the volume of cars does not lead to congestion. Alright, I'm done.carrot-cake

Well if you have a HMMWV with a .50 cal on it then you can do this:

If this world would be like Burnout, i'd would crash cars and reduce traffic jams :lol:

But stopping the traffic jams won't work. Best way is to come up a good solution before going to a lot of cars which could waste time waiting, planning shortcuts, or whatever it is.

Put little microchips in everyone's heads that will synchronize their driving so that everyone merges seamlessly in traffic and keeps the flow of cars moving.
