   Even autonomous vehicles and other options shown here takes up nearly the same road space and parking space. Therefore, non of these are a long term solution. It's been proven over and over again, that high quality public transport is the only solution to traffic congestion, along with lack of urban space , pollution, and many other urban issues.

   Why was there no mention of increased public transit but they mentioned a hyper loop??

   What about the insurance costs, costs of a car which has trippled? Then there is the cost of parking lots, and building and fixing roads.

   2:40 "It takes a moment for the driver to move from the brake pedal to the gas pedal". Aaaaand there's the entire problem. If you are stepping on the brake pedal while you're stopped, you're doing it wrong. Brakes are for braking, not for standing on while stopped. This is very dangerous and time consuming. It's in the driver's manual.

   You don't even need self driving cars. Radar cruise control lets your car follow the vehicle ahead at a preset distance. In Mercedes it's called Distronic. Don't suggest things more complicated than they have to be.

   These tips are fine in the short term, but the only way to fix traffic permanently is to remove the need for cars in the first place. Increase population density through zoning changes, upgrade and expand public transit (trams, buses), and make cities more walkable/bike friendly.

    Dear Engr.
    Good evening. This is Ariston Jr. R. Gorospe. the Author of Vehicular Brand Volume Reduction or Brand Coding.
    I incidentally read your article about
    “Out-of-the-Box” Solution to the Traffic Congestion in Metro Manila
    “Some have suggested”according to USCAP“to use the vehicle type as the base for restrictions: no Toyotas on Mondays, no Hondas on Tuesday… Is it feasible? Toyota is largely dominant. A Toyota ban on some days would create huge uproar. Would it also apply to ubiquitous Toyota taxicabs?”
    THIS IS JUST TO SUMMARIZE THE CONCEPT POLICY VBVR
    My answer,
    Yes it is feasible. Since I am the author of vehicular brand volume reduction or brand coding I have the mechanics on how to reduce car reduction by 45% on the road particularly at EDSA and to another thoroughfare on segregation of mixed dominant car brand per day .in 5 or even in 7 days through vehicular brand segregation reduction of the total car LTO registered based on allowed ratio kilometers .you can not do the concept by just one brand per day .but by of mixed segregation of dominant brand example if you have one brand like BLUE MAX AUTOMOBILE registered consist of ten thousand cars at NCR registered divided by 5 is 2k per day and other mixed car brand added segregate them again in one box per day on a number of units together with another brand you have a total volume segregated in five working days and car that are not ban to travel by segregation will have a window hour travel time if you have a total 20 thousand cars if you plan to have a segreation of banned cars of 45% on the road you will have widen the space to travel in a peak hour however never used the brand name but ont 5 colors different conductive sticker for the reason of monitoring and control of the growing numbers on travel time per day. and
    Taxicabs and other public transportation will still be color-coding of MMDA.
    Hope to hear from you and let's talk about it.
    Stay safe.
    Best regards,
    Ariston Jr. R. Gorospe

    More companies need to stay online and have their employees working from home. Period. Get people off the roads, only essential people need to be commuting until we can get better transportation technologies on the mass market for everyone. Uber flying, self-driving, Hyperloops, etc. all need to be explored and invested in

    But why would the first person need to brake in the first place? There’s no car in front of him or anything. Why would he brake and start everything?

    what i don't understand in my city, they have taken away lanes on some streets from cars and changed them to bike lanes & bus lanes, which causes you to sit in traffic longer.

    The issue is the USA has terrible public transportation, humans will forever check their phone, be distracted, brake too heavily etc. More trains, buses and electric scooters/ bicycles will save us a lot of money, will make the air cleaner and we will get to work just as fast as a car. Right now, there is nowhere in the USA that has decent public transport. A city full of car lanes is ugly, inefficient and a lot of Americans are going nowhere financially because being a 2 car family is so expensive.

    Wouldn't have anything to do with the way the roads and highways are constructed. I also agree with all comments about people chatting on mobile phones aka distracted driving.

    When I used to ride the city bus, my busstop was near the right lane of a busy intersection, so I'd play a game of counting all the drivers in line looking down at their phones while the light was red. I'd try to predict if the next round of red lights would beat out the previous round. Every single one of those drivers looked so foolish with their phone-induced double chins and gaping mouths that to this day I refuse to look at my phone while at a red light, in case someone is staring into my car playing the same game. XD

    All of these tips would work if everyone does it. If even one person drives like an a**hole then it ruins it for everyone else regardless. And we know that’s kinda impossible.

    Yes only make stick shift vehicles so that these people distracted on their phones won’t be able to do that. Stick shift drivers are alert aware and focused. Automatic drivers r putting on make up eating on their phones etc…
