SCIENCE HOBBYIST: Traffic Waves, physics for bored commuters
I do the exact same thing this guy talks about, all the time. I've found the same results. I just hadn't blogged about it before now.
Really makes me wish I'd taken the time to write it up. But really...if you watch traffic at all, you'll note the patterns. And going slow and steady will always win the race.
