I read a study once that covered the stop and go traffic wave effect. Apparently all you have to do to stop the wave propagation as have a couple of drivers with a two - three car buffer. The first person to not have to come to a stop in the wave has the power to more or less reset and stop the wave.

Yep. I do this all the time on highways. I've seen dark red traffic lines on Google Maps as I've driven over them turn green.

Patience and the efforts of a single person in a wavefront can make an enormous difference, like a rock sticking up from a pond.

How do you prevent people from squeezing into your buffer?

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

You don't, some will get ahead of you but not everybody does that, and the same assholes that are swerving to get ahead of you are the ones that cause the propagation of the wave. You're slowing down a little bit and accepting some leakage makes it that much better for the whole crowd
