We all dream about perfect traffic on the streets. Well, here is the best idea of how that looks!
Modern traffic is a pain in everyone`s neck. If you`re driving a car, you always have the slight chance of hitting someone and causing damage, or running over a careless pedestrian just walking across the road with the phone in his hands. If you`re a pedestrian, you always have to watch out for people driving erratically or otherwise incoherently – a single touch from some of them will leave you six feet under.
If you`re driving a bike or a truck, however – the danger increases and no matter how much perfect traffic you get, you are always just one little movement away from certain death, for you or for people around you.
This is why you always need to be extra careful with everything you`re doing when you`re behind the wheel or literally anywhere near a road.
Those are the reasons that this video is so mind-blowing. Of course, it`s obviously choreographed since I refuse to believe that this thing actually exists somewhere, but it`s mesmerizing and I can`t get enough of it.
Just look at those cars, perfectly intertwining with pedestrians, motorbikes and vans, with nobody even stopping to look both ways before they cross the street and nobody stopping at all – they are just perfectly synchronized, there is no traffic jam and everything looks marvelous.
I imagine this is how perfect traffic will look in the future, with no accidents, no lights or signs, but everyone knowing what`s going on and where to go, as well as where not to go. Of course, you would have to be extra alert, but that`s a small price to pay for this image becoming reality.
What do you think; do traffic lights solve gridlocks? Here is one interesting research!
