Driving Tips You Should Know To Avoid Sitting In Gridlock Traffic

- There's more traffic than ever across America's roads, and one man is saying the country needs to get smart. Sam Schwartz is a renowned traffic engineer; he actually coined the term "gridlock." Inside Edition set up a series of demonstrations to illustrate how traffic jams form and how drivers can avoid them. In one demonstration, an accident blocked the road, forcing the driver of our vehicle is forced to merge. The result was a chaotic mess as drivers fight with each other over who goes first. #InsideEdition

People would rather you die than let you in their lane
I think everyone knows that moment when a guy is weaving through traffic and you pull up next to him at a red light thinking, “was that really worth it?”
Yes if I'm in front of the pack so I can accelerate even before the light turns green
My dad always does that.
He tells me to shut up before I finish saying one word and blames it on me that he’s stuck at the light
Maybe you dont want to stuck behind the person going 10 under in the left lane and wont move cuz they gotta turn at some point or even worse on the highways...there more worried about the move over law then when it states in the second sentence that if you cant move over then slow down and pass accordingly but that's right no one wants to follow the simple rules so why follow any of them.
What messes up traffic here is morons in Toyota’s going under the speeding limit on the left lane.
AMCFogell And the best part is when douchebag cops drive the highway slow af and no one has the courage to pass them. That causes miles of traffic.
This is why you leave your house at 5am for long car trips
Yep this is what I’m going to do on my way to Florida 👍😅
exactly, left for texas from kansas by car cuz its cheaper and we went at 6am and missed all the traffic :)
fuglymonster101 that’s what I do
I love long trips tbh.
The longer the better lmao.
My family wakes up at 3 or 4 am
I just hate that some idiots don’t let you merge in when it obviously causes less traffic.
ImAbraham so you mean bmw drivers? Lol
@@angelgjr1999they don’t even use turn signals.
People still don't know how to use the zipper technique in 2019.
Everyday Allday we need that in Philippines 🇵🇭
They merge too early and then dont let others merge in front
Or realised their cars have turn signals.
Ever since watching this video, I started noticing so much ghost traffic from people stopping for no reason.
It's not necessarily ignorance, more so selfishness is the culprit.
Use your damn signals !!!
Always use the right lane (slow lane) when there's a traffic jam.
Yep. I drive solely in the right lane while on the highway now. Hell of a lot easier to deal with (and more relaxing).
Keep right except to pass!!!
Left to pass right to drive
What about traffic merging from the right
Yeah I have noticed the left lane really isn’t worth it. Mostly because morons stay in the left lane and don’t lets people pass.
And remember always use your goddamn turn signal
This is why I take road trips at night. Less traffic less stress and more fuel efficient
That’s smart
This Is For All You BMW Driver's.
•• JeremiahVK •• why?my dad drives a BMW and he drives perfectly fine don't hate
BIG MONEY WASTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALL THE WAY
•• JeremiahVK •• ikr
Jm. lifestyles your dad is a douche bag who THINKS he's driving perfectly fine.
Germexy: I bet you drive an Audi
Sincerely, a BMW driver.
Not sure why drivers can't be civil to eachother.
Because its me all about ME
Because my feet say "Just do it".
Tip: don’t use your breaks
Totally save
*brakes
*safe
@M Detlef Boy! Leave. Now. 👋👉
@Jackie chan_WTF grammar police alert and who cares the way you spell it’s TH-cam
George W Bush Oof *Grammer
I tried using my brakes as little as possible but then I ended up rear ending a trailer /:
Need to know how to control throttle
The myth busters did an episode all about this, and it corroborates the things stated in this video perfectly:)
I hate when someone in front of me hits the breaks when there's like no car in front of them...
I leave for work between 4:45-5:30am depending on my schedule. Some days I’m off work by noon avoiding every morning and most evening rush hours.
Eric Jr nyc?
Nope just Myrtle Beach, SC.. I couldn’t imagine living in the NE. With my job the earlier you start, the earlier you can get off.
@@EricFortuneJr. nice hustle man
I hate car trips because we have to wake up super early... Now I know why 😩
Great informative video thank you for the perspective on traffic.
The reason is even when a crash is on the shoulder, There is traffic because people want to see wht happend
Drivers on HWY 401 around Toronto should watch this
ALL drivers should.
Angel Gutierrez especially your mom
I think the real problem is having 16-17 year olds on the road who don’t know this stuff and should.
Reel Unique you do your best driving about a year after you get your liscence 😂, everyone who drives after that does whatever they feel like
I’m getting my permit soon but I practice in non busy streets. I would drive on the highway once I’m 18. I’m 16 right now practicing and I understand that you need to be logical when driving. I completely understand the difference between a car and a go cart. Also driving is fun you just have to follow the rules!
In a traffic jam i use the middle lanes because in the right lanes sometimes there’s traffic lined up to take an exit and the left side everyone think is faster so everyone goes there so the middle for me is the fastes way for a traffic jam
Far left lane has always been fastest for me
I was 10 years old when this happened to me and someone hit me going 50+ miles per hour I am 11 now and I have 2 curves in my spine because of this
I might even be in a back brace depending on what my doctor says
Megan Ritchie from what your saying it sounds like you have scoliosis which probably wasn't developed due to the accident. It's super common for kids to have
Damn any idea what happened to the one who hit you?
Megan Ritchie liar
Megan Ritchie sorry for your back problem, god bless
This is random
Gotta be an aggresive driver. Passive drivers get bullied on the road.
Edward Koepke Agreed. They're the worst. Me I just switch lanes and if I cant I deal with it
ZIPPERING DONT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PHAMTOM TRICK NEVER GOES AS PLANNED
NEVER WORKS
Who U Kill, Bluuud? You hemme? X
Assertiveness is the better way to phrase it. Taking action for yourself without being a selfish douchebag is a good all-around mentality to have when driving.
my dream is to one day just plow full-speed into one of you "aggressive" drivers and then have you wonder why playing battle royale on the highway got your entire family crushed into a meat cube
Best tip: Live in the Country.
HoustonSongz we all live in a country dumb ass
@@adama8927 I hope that's sarcasm
Challenger Boy I think he meant country side
It’s great till everyone takes this tip seriously
@@rashadvq It's not sarcasm he is that stupid.
1:24 this man goes in the other lane like boiii
2:44 JUST AN EXCUSE TO SHOW OFF THE CAR
Showoff a V6 Stang? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Pete Rodriguez III v6 stangs aren’t even that bad same goes with the “eco boost” in-line 4
I do not use the horns in a traffic jam because why would I? Horns users please don't exist
People get distracted with their phone as soon as they stop, the horn helps to let them know they should move
@@thecommenter578 Yep. But some people abuse that horn tbh
I clock out at 4:59pm to beat the rush of all of us leaving NYC at...5pm
Steven Madara NYC? Aren’t you better off riding the subway or ferry? Nice city btw, I visited in June.
I'm a truckdriver and I'll start at midnight if I need to cover a lot of miles to miss rush hour.
I always avoid prime traffic time. Morning work, lunch, and evening returning home. Plus I try hard to stay off the interstates if possible.
Don't gas it in traffic, take your foot off the brake/gas and just let it cruise with some distance from the car in front of you. You'll be doing everyone a favor.
Why would you live some where that has people always honking.
This is gold. ^^
People need to learn to drive.
Move to another City or another area where there isn't traffic. Areas need to install extra roads to relieve congestion. The DOT should check possible extra highways around those areas. Install exits.
Imagine motorcycles be like swerving threw cars
M Detlef omg your so dumb you know how motor cycles go threw the middle lane When traffic starts then that what I am trying to say🤣
Ya...... be like
2:39 the highway is near Daly City and I live there and the highway doesn’t have that much traffic people think it does but it doesn’t 30 second traffic stops don’t matter.
We should post a thing called a minimum speed limit, meaning nobody can go below that speed, and that can help reduce traffic jams
Don’t leave in and out ok more food !😂🤣😅
2:26 BUT WE GO WHERE WE WANT TO
I get road rage just watching this. My points exactly, and now this video proves it.
So next time I don't want to get stuck in traffic, ill use my brake as little as possible. Thanks Inside Edition! 👍
That’s why these luxury cars with autonomous driving help
My number one complaint when im driving when im merging some people try to force me to take the next exit because they don't let you merg on the highway when i see someone with the signal light on trying to merg on i back up and let that person in and yes i sean people slice lanes right infront of me making me breack and i sean people talegating so close i barely see the license plate that freaks me out including bigger vehicles and ad something i sean people texting and on the phone while driving common sense don't exist now a days and it frustrating me it just sucks yes i dealt with road rage to for no reason
Every time someone hits their brakes I switch lanes and it makes it look like I am weaving.
My mom taught me how to drive, i take a very conservative approach, no speeding, no lane changing every 10 seconds, no tailgating. Ironically, it is i who now wants to teach my mom how to drive because she drives the exact opposite of me, she's an aggressive driver and it's not right.
its already been done from myth buster, years ago..
1:42 if they all use cruise control their will not be any traffic if they all set the speed at the right speedometer
Welcome to North New Jersey the awful part of New Jersey
If only people were that easy to control
not true I always switch lanes like crazy when going out of town fallow ed by my brother or any one else and I always safely get to the destination 20 to 30 mins earlier
That's just you driving faster, not anything to to do with driving technique
Some of us like driving fast
Just look at how many people crossed that solid line right behind you
At 0:10 is that my truck!?
i know what to do dont drive on high ways during rush our
Just pony you can’t
In a perfect world, cars will have no brakes. They'll just coast to a stop.
Can’t believe people don’t know the zippering technique for merging. Like. Is that just not something people should genuinely know about the rules of the road?
extra risk is not needy, if i get to my destination 10 mins late not worth the headache of an accident
Stay in yo lane LMAO
😐 The Road.
Get a GPS and set it for shortest route, it'll get you around faster.
Tip #1 don't live in Southern California
Alright mate
Some people have a reason for speeding. Not that I am defending them or anything because I’m not, but once I was driving somewhere and a lady was speeding everywhere. I was by here for a while, and then she pulled into the hospital. I felt really bad.
‼️I have an idea how about people learn how to drive better or don’t give licenses to idiots who cheated on a dmv test and drove 1 minute around the block as their driving test😂🤦🏽♂️
For all the car guys here 0:12 there is a white integra besides the Chevy
So speed is Key. Got it.😋
This video should be taught in driving class, tested, and be a mandatory requirement for getting your license.
Hey jim if lisa guerero see you not using your turn signal 3:02 she gonna snitch on you be carefull
2:17 sooo they want us to hit the person in front of us🤔
This is literally an average day in Bay Area traffic
righ a leva at 2am in the mrnig i haet a log drive
“phantom traffic jam”
well, intellectuals will of course call them Traffic Snakes
2 : 23
Umm gcp grey?
Whole time do mfs really honk in a traffic jam? I thought that only be happening in movies
Myth busters did the same test on lane changing they had a much bigger difference
you should have used the example of the world record going around in circles or what was its name because that would have saved you a lot of footage.
This is funny in the uk like that traffic wouldn’t be considered traffic in the uk 🇬🇧
We need all unmanned cars on the road. It would eliminate the human error and ignorance problem.
We need more trains in the US.
Inside edition-Jim is in the white convertible Brianna is in the blue convertible.
Me-I am pretty sure that is a mustang that is able to open its roof
There's something called wave driving.
Best answer dont use your brakes lol
this is normal here in norway 😂
edit: i mean not the traffic but how the cars zip and how it is to make so nobody has to stop or drive slow
but one thing is slowing down everyone
polish truck drivers
To avoid traffic... don’t go in a car simple
And use what?
Uber or lfty or use public transportation
@@_thebusphotograher_cali so what does an Uber use?
@@ctm9364 if you're strong and brave enough you can cycle, and if you're really really lucky you might be able to take a train. unfortunately because these aren't options for 99.999% of trips (because of our built environment, not because of limitations with bikes and trains) the best way to avoid traffic is to just stay home
Zipcar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Be nice
Have you been to jakarta
Lol gentlemanly driving? In New Jersey? That would never happen.
This is why I always say the best way to avoid traffic is by working harder and buying a helicopter
i don’t use my breaks 8 use my regen
You don't have to be an aggressive driver
Make any suggestions you want but it wont stop people from creating traffic. This is pointless.
"Use brakes as little as possible"
jacob imma watch you
Wow y’all call this traffic come to TOKYO
what's tokyo?
tootsie|troll® in Japan? The capital?
Did someone say india
Oh boi. Come to the Phillippines
Why do that?
You think this is bad you should see Boston on a Friday night on the way to Boston for a Sox game
I refuse to except advice i rather be stuck in grid lock
In the Philippines, traffic is more worse than America
