Do Roads Without Traffic Lights Translate To Chaos?

A small town in Britain took out traffic lights and got a pleasant surprise-a smoother flow of traffic!


As Professor Alex Tabarrok
writes,

``The experiments are interesting in their own right but they are also very good illustrations of spontaneous order; how order is possible without orders."

Of course, for the mainstream, this is just another form of sacrilege.

  1. In New York and other high density traffic areas, most likely. In a small to medium scale suburb, probably not :)

    Happy weekend!
