The Curious Incident of Accident in Malaysia

Traffic Jams and Accidents

Have you ever wondered how traffic jams built-up from an accident?

If you’re thinking that the cause is Bottleneck Effect (narrowing passages) due to occupancy of vehicles and rescue team on the road; you’re just partially right.

It is actually caused by the curiosity of the road users itself.

Scenario

E.g.:

-minute 0 - 2 Car Collided in a bumper to bumper minor accident (Absolutely No Biggie) at 50kph.

-minute 1 - Dozens of cars (chain 1) who witnessed the incident first hand; slow down to avoid getting into the mess as the cars involved trying to pull over to discuss the accident. Slow down from normal traffic flow from 80kph to 40kph

-minute 2- Due to the immediate slowdown, dozens of cars (chain 2) behind became wary of any mess going on ahead. They immediately slow down from 80kph to 30kph to counter the drastic slowdown aheads.

-minute 5- As the slowdowns of all vehicle happens, curiosity built up. All the subsequent chain of vehicles moving along the road slowed down even further. This will happen till all the cars stops to a complete halt doing a bumper to bumper ride.
