Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention pertains generally to methods for controlling vehicular traffic on a roadway. More particularly, the present invention pertains to methods for controlling vehicular traffic in a traffic management zone as the traffic is being routed through a constriction in the roadway or through an area of extreme traffic congestion. The present invention is particularly, but not exclusively, useful as a method for controlling vehicular traffic wherein the method includes requirements for a minimum or constant vehicular speed, a minimum spacing between vehicles, and proscriptions against lane changes. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] It has been documented that delays caused by traffic congestion are increasingly responsible for a significant diminution in workplace productivity. Further, it is well known that traffic congestion contributes to driver-instability (road rage) and other stress-related discomforts. In general, the slower traffic is...
