How to Drive in a Traffic Jam?

How to Drive in a Traffic Jam?: Traffic jams are an everyday reality for millions of people around the world. Many Car drivers pre-determine their day and model their lifestyle according to traffic congestion. The list of things that you can do inside your car while being stuck in traffic grows impressively longer with only our creativity being the limit.

Stuck in a traffic jam is not a bad thing, but checking your makeup, calling your mother, or getting some work done on your laptop isn’t going to get you out of that queue. When they are not a result of some unpredictable event, traffic jams follow a certain pattern. The morning time and the late afternoon rush hour are times notoriously associated with road congestion.

Tips for a Smooth Passage

So, the 1st and best thing to do is to try to avoid traffic jams altogether. Keep yourself updated and informed about the current road conditions or any planned works involving the road infrastructure. For this, there are many smartphone apps available in the app stores. The old radio is still a solid option too.

If your previous experience allows you to find an alternative route to get from A to B, by all means, use it. However, if staying out of it is impossible you should probably look for some advice about how to cope with a traffic jam.

Here are some useful tips:

  1. Try to predict your route a few steps ahead so that you can choose the best lane (changing lanes can be difficult in a traffic jam).
  2. Stay focused, keep your eyes on the road, and check the mirrors.
  3. Signal – make sure that you use the lights, blinkers, and the horn when needed.
  4. Keep a safe distance from other vehicles and follow the traffic flow.
  5. Distracted driving: Don’t get distracted – loud music or the cellphone ringing constantly can be both distracting and agitating.

The Impact on Society

How to Drive in a Traffic Jam?

Traffic jams are affecting the individual’s quality of life but they are also affecting societies. The longer time spent in the car greatly contributes to pollution, through higher CO2 emission. The noise levels in urban areas are increased. Traffic accidents are also more likely to happen in stressful, traffic jams, environments.

How to drive in a traffic jam? is still a big question. Big cities/towns and frequent inter-city highways are places where traffic congestion most often occurs. For many years, there have been initiatives and attempts to resolve this issue. The introduction of congestion fees was one of the first measures.

Is There a Future for Traffic Jams?

In the future, many traffic experts are hoping that new technologies will enable better traffic control. Drones are already being used to provide real-time information about occurring traffic jams. Systems of smart traffic signals are tested in an attempt to allow for traffic signals to adjust to road conditions at a given time during the day.

Automated vehicles are also seen as a possible solution. Their use will not necessarily decrease the number of cars on the roads. But the hope is that such “smart vehicles” will contribute to smarter travel planning, a decrease in the number of accidents, and better use of the traffic infrastructure and resources.
