A Real Solution to Traffic Congestion is Already Here | David Nguyen | TEDxCulverCity
Imagine the possibility of driving non-stop from where you are to where you're going, instead of being constantly delayed. Traffic congestion costs U.S. drivers hundreds of billions of dollars annually, and a solution to this problem is an idea whose time has come. David Nguyen talks about how drivers can get more green lights with their phones, and explains a solution he has already started to implement on real roads. David is a former automotive engineer who recently launched ThruGreen, a smart infrastructure startup with a mission to give everyone more green lights.

The 10 Most Traffic Congested Cities of the World
Get more Tips here! http://www.destinationtips.com
Let’s face it, everyone thinks their town has the worst traffic in the Universe. But the truth is that this terrible situation happens in all parts of the world. Here are an example, the most traffic congested cities of the world.
10. Beijing
Beijing’s traffic problem got worse by a full eight percent in the last year. Drive time is so bad that whether its residents are traveling on highways or residential roads, they can expect an extra 40 percent extra drive time.
9. Taiwan
Though it’s only about 14,000 square miles (compared to the United States’ 3.7 square miles) Taiwan is still home to more than 23 million people. As a result, traffic freaking sucks; In Taiwan, residents incur nearly 46 percent extra travel time on average.

Why the @#$% is there so much traffic? - Benjamin Seibold

You’re cruising down the highway when all of a sudden endless rows of brake lights appear ahead. There’s no accident, no stoplight, no change in speed limit, or narrowing of the road. So why is there so much traffic? It's due to a phenomenon called a phantom traffic jam. Benjamin Seibold explains why it happens and how we might prevent it in the future.

The traffic solution most cities haven't tried
Congestion pricing works – just look at London.
Become a Video Lab member! http://bit.ly/video-lab
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently announced a plan to bring congestion pricing to New York City. The goal is to raise money for the city’s crumbling public transit system and reclaim the dangerously busy city streets. But what is congestion pricing, and can it actually solve all our transit woes?
We took a look at London, a city that enacted a congestion charge in 2003, to see some of the benefits. Check out the video above to learn more.

How highways make traffic worse
Expanding highways doesn't do what you think it does.
Subscribe and turn on notifications (🔔 ) so you don't miss any videos: http://goo.gl/0bsAjO
Big, expensive highway expansion projects are the source of a lot US transportation funding — but they aren't a silver bullet for congestion relief. In communities that were built for cars, solving traffic problems requires much more holistic problem-solving.
At 1:00, we show a bar graph of travel times on the Katy Freeway that was originally put together by City Observatory, which has covered the Katy Freeway expansion project at length:

How Much Do Traffic Jams Cost The U.S. Economy?
If you’re like the 76% of Americans who drive to work alone, you’ve probably commuted in stop-and-go traffic with no end in sight. Then, when the road finally clears, you realize there was no reason for traffic to be stopped in the first place.
Experts call them “phantom traffic jams,” moments when traffic grinds to a standstill for no apparent reason.
That traffic comes at a big cost, in both time and money. A new study found the average urban commuter spends about 54 hours each year sitting in traffic. It also costs the U.S. economy a grand total of $179 billion each year, according to the Texas A&M; Transportation Institute.

Let’s face it, everyone thinks their town has the worst traffic in the Universe. But the truth is that this terrible situation happens in all parts of the world. Here are an example, the most traffic congested cities of the world.
10. Beijing
Beijing’s traffic problem got worse by a full eight percent in the last year. Drive time is so bad that whether its residents are traveling on highways or residential roads, they can expect an extra 40 percent extra drive time.
9. Taiwan
Though it’s only about 14,000 square miles (compared to the United States’ 3.7 square miles) Taiwan is still home to more than 23 million people. As a result, traffic freaking sucks; In Taiwan, residents incur nearly 46 percent extra travel time on average.
8. Rio de Janeiro
If you’re ever visiting Brazil’s liveliest town, don’t expect to get anywhere fast. At best, drivers can hope to encounter a mere 37 percent extra drive time when they’re on the highways (at non-peak hours).
7. Chengdu
For real, something needs to be done about China’s traffic problem, because Chengdu STILL isn’t the country’s last entry on the list. Drivers spend an average of 176 hours more than necessary stuck in traffic.
6. Istanbul
Istanbul is, the most populous (and popular) city in the country, which means that at certain times of the day, drivers can spend as much as 91 percent extra travel time in the car.
5. Bucharest
Romania’s capital city clocks in at a clean 50 percent average extra travel time for each of its citizens. Though the city has less than 2 million people, the morning and evening commutes are a real trial. During peak hours, drivers spend as much as 90 percent extra time in the car.
4. Chongqing
Chongqing really made a point of ruining its citizen’s commute in 2016. The Chinese city’s traffic problem increased 14 percent in twelve months, a metric that is way higher than any other city on this list.
3. Jakarta
Indonesia’s capital city is home to nearly ten million people and more than 26,000 miles of road. Unfortunately, it takes nearly twice as long as it should to get from one place to another in the city, thanks to the average 48 minutes of extra travel time citizens endure each day.
2. Bangkok
The traffic in Bangkok is so bad that people trying to get home or go out in the evenings can expect to face a drive time that’s more than one hundred eighteen percent longer than necessary.
1. Mexico City
Drivers now must endure an average 66 percent travel time, no matter what time of day they’re on the road. And if you have to head into traffic during rush hour, your best bet is to say a prayer and leave really, really early.
Does your city has a similar traffic issue?

So why is there so much traffic? It's due to a phenomenon called a phantom traffic jam. Benjamin Seibold explains why it happens and how we might prevent it in the future.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently announced a plan to bring congestion pricing to New York City. The goal is to raise money for the city’s crumbling public transit system and reclaim the dangerously busy city streets. But what is congestion pricing, and can it actually solve all our transit woes?
We took a look at London, a city that enacted a congestion charge in 2003, to see some of the benefits. Check out the video above to learn more.

Big, expensive highway expansion projects are the source of a lot US transportation funding — but they aren't a silver bullet for congestion relief. In communities that were built for cars, solving traffic problems requires much more holistic problem-solving.
At 1:00, we show a bar graph of travel times on the Katy Freeway that was originally put together by City Observatory, which has covered the Katy Freeway expansion project at length:

If you’re like the 76% of Americans who drive to work alone, you’ve probably commuted in stop-and-go traffic with no end in sight. Then, when the road finally clears, you realize there was no reason for traffic to be stopped in the first place.
Experts call them “phantom traffic jams,” moments when traffic grinds to a standstill for no apparent reason.
That traffic comes at a big cost, in both time and money. A new study found the average urban commuter spends about 54 hours each year sitting in traffic. It also costs the U.S. economy a grand total of $179 billion each year, according to the Texas A&M; Transportation Institute.
