Traffic volume 1

The Automobile Traffic Jam, I could do a whole blog on this subject alone. Has anyone done a study on how much time is wasted in traffic jams? I would bet the opportunity cost, lost productivity, increased stress and aggression, pollution and expended natural resources would total out astronomically. I'm not talking about accident related jams - except gaper delays. It's the ones that are correctable or avoidable. Slow or inappropriate drivers, bad light sequencing, insufficient road capacity, and others causing transit inefficiency.

There's a need I could fill, analysis and remediation recommendation for traffic congestion. Maybe I'd have time to work on that if I got back that hour a day I'm stuck in traffic.
