Traffic flow measured on 30 different 4-way junctions

Visualizing traffic flow in different simulated junctions.

I am glad you pointed this out, because it looked very real to me, no joke. The thing that tipped me off was the first traffic circle, and I thought, "no one goes that slow or stops in a traffic circle". And then I noticed one or two vehicles violate the laws of physics, and I started to wonder.

Cities Skylines? Not the most accurate simulation but interesting nonetheless.

An interesting experiment, but I'm more interested in how many people get through the intersections per minute, not how many cars.

If you have 3 people in a car only getting 333 cars through per minute and one of the super complicated ones (1,000 cpm) with only 1 person per car, it's the same throughput, as far as I'm concerned.

And, get 2 bullet trains in there with the intersection just being 2 tracks over 2 tracks with 500 people inside each one, that's much more efficient.

Cars are stupid. QED.
