Posted by AlM on Sun Dec 4 18:00:38 2016, in response to Re: The real reason for New York City's traffic nightmare, posted by Stephen Bauman on Sun Dec 4 17:49:57 2016. You keep posting that. The issue of a block not being cleared is way down on the list of obstacles to free flow of traffic. The following activities cause greater congestion, based on hundreds of observations of what I refer to as "moderately heavy" traffic:- Blockages of lanes other than the curb lane (double parked vehicles, lanes closed due to construction, and lanes very slow due to very bad pavement) - Vehicles making turns not from the curb lane - Vehicles traveling in a non-curb lane at well under 25 mph - Lights turning green too late (i.e., not roughly 6 seconds after the prior light turned green) - Lanes blocked by cross traffic blocking the box - Lanes blocked by pedestrians crossing against the light After all of these causes of delay comes the one you have identified, namely cars unable to proceed because they have caught up with the car waiting for the red light ahead of them. |
