Civil Engineer here. I took one transportation class and probably the only thing I took away from it is to run red lights. At signalled intersections there is a point when the lights in all directions will be red. It is called the ALL RED phase and I believe it lasts for 3 seconds. It is there as a safeguard to make sure the intersection is clear before the perpendicular direction turns green. Anyway, I am all to familiar with stop and go traffic as I drive in Chicago frequently. I almost feel like idiot drivers can be blamed for slowdowns just as much as the highway design. They think that weaving in and out like a Nascar driver will save them time. Question for you, say you are driving on a 3 lane freeway(I-55 in my case(stop&go traffic)) with traffic merging in on the right. What lane typically moves the quickest? I usually stay in the middle lane...I never really go in the right lane as I fear that the Queueing would slow me down to much. If you understand what I am asking I would like to hear your thoughts on what lane moves the quickest.
