This is how traffic jams start (in Japan)

by Neil MacLean


This little snippet shows how something as simple as a driver pausing to check that his wife had given him the right sort of radish in his bento box that morning can cause all the other cars – aimlessly circling behind him – to create a traffic jam.

In Britain this sort of experiment is usually conducted with a single traffic cone and a workman leaning on his spade at the side of the road.
