Ants have the ability to walk upside down so they have the versatility to manouver in any direction. They work at one speed and if you watch closely they frequently collide.
If you want roads infrastructure to work then put in intersections that do not slow traffic.
When infrastructure is loaded during peak time the current infrastructure slows to the speed of the slowest intersections. Traffic lights that just stop traffic flow have been around for 140 years, roundabouts 104 years.
The Red Tan intersection in Texas has eight slow zones and if turning left or right has two merges and like the cloverleaf is a slow intersection under load.
Liquid Flow Intersections are designed to get you through the intersection as fast as possible as safe as possible.
When placed into the road system on all major roads and freeways traffic jams gridlock and congestion cannot happen.
The High Speed Liquid Flow intersection there is only one merge. When entering the road being turned into.
