Can interactive technology ease urban traffic jams?:
Traffic congestion is a serious problem in the United States, but a new analysis shows that interactive technology -- ranging from 511 traffic information systems and roadside cameras to traffic apps like Waze and Google Maps -- is helping in cities that use it.
Potentially, the researchers said, technology could limit the need to widen and expand roadways while saving commuters time and money and lessening environmental damage.
[...] Pavlou [author of the report] said the study suggests alternatives to simply building more and bigger roads to keep up with population and traffic growth. Using large-scale technology systems in conjunction with real-time traffic apps at the individual level is less expensive and more effective than only spending funds to expand and maintain roadways, he said .

The real question is, when cars honk does Pavlou's mouth water?

There aren't any traffic jams because there isn't any traffic because there aren't any cars on the roads because everyone is ordered to stay home because Boomers did COVID-19.

Dear deluded senile moderator,
Are you really truly delusional enough to believe traffic jams exist in America under COVID-19? You should get your head examined by a bullet, Boomer.
Love and blowjobs,
