2. Neat - Remember seeing a civil engr text book

with C++ code for this simulation. You could add/subtract lanes, and set various traffic parameters. I thought it was fun to play with the software (not being a civil engr - and therefore not being tested on it ;) )

3. Very neat. I remember once diriving towards Montreal from the north.

I noticed that all of the traffic was moving unioformly and remember thinking that this feels a lot different from the usual situation in the states, where someone is always trying to get ahead or blocking others. This verifies my feeling that in a culture that is less focused on individuality and competition, traffic patterns might be different.

So maybe a cooperative society really does work better than one which makes a theology out of competition and greed!

4. That's the larger meaning I pulled out too. I was trying to be Zen.

And not spoil it. :hippie:
