About this listen

 Why does the other lane always seem to be moving faster? What does the way you drive say about you? Is the road a microcosm of society or an autonomous republic that functions according to its own set of rules? Does traffic work the same all over the world

Traffic answers these and many other questions, plunging head-on into traffic, viewing it not simply as a social ill or as a design problem, but as a leading cultural indicator and a living, organic model of what physicists call "emergent collective behavior", of things which often happen for no discernible reason...

Sounds dull but is genuinely fascinating

I hoped this book would be interesting and I was even more fascinated than I would have thought possible. It has changed how I drive and how I think about driving, and I’ll be reading it again as there was quite a lot to take in. Doesn’t matter if you’re in the UK or USA either, which I thought would be an issue but really wasn’t.
