Traffic is the movement of vehicles and pedestrians on a road, and more generally (and more traditionally) also the movement of trains, ships, planes, etc.; with the focus more on the content than on the vehicle it is also the movement of goods or information. In addition to considering traffic along a route one may consider traffic coming and going in a particular locality. In some contexts "traffic" means commerce.In telecommunication the term traffic has the following meanings:
From Federal Standard 1037C.
- The information moved over a communication channel.
- A quantitative measurement of the total messages and their length, expressed in CCS, erlang or similar units, during a specified period of time.
Transport traffic engineering deals with vehicular traffic, whereas telecommunications traffic engineering deals with communication. Logistics is concerned with the movement of goods.
Organized Traffic
Western vehicular traffic is generally organized, flowing in lanes of travel for a particular direction, with interchanges, traffic signals, and/or sineage at intersectons to facilitate the orderly and timely flow of traffic. Vehicles also generally travel at the same speed on a given roadway.Organized traffic typically reduces travel time. Though vehicles wait at some intersections, wait time at others is much shorter. Organized traffic degenerates to disorganized with an unexpected occurrence, be it road construction, an accident, or an animal obstructing the road. On particularly busy freeways, a disruption can persist until traffic thins. William Beaty observed persistant disruptions and named the phenomenon traffic waves.
Simulations of organized traffic frequently involve queuing theory and stochastic processes.
Unorganized Traffic
Unorganized traffic occurs in the absence of lanes and/or signals. Roads do not have lanes, though operators tend to keep to the appropriate side if the road is wide enough. Operators frequently overtake other operators, and obstructions are not uncommon.Intersections have no signals or sineage, and a particular road at a busy intersection may be dominant (that is, its traffic flows) until a break in traffic, at which time the dominance shifts to the other road where vehicles are queued. At the intersection of two perpendicular roads, a traffic jam results if four vehicles face each other side-on.
Which Side?
Brian Lucas answers the question, "Which side of the road do they drive on?" About 34% of the world by country population drives on the left, and 66% keeps right. By roadway miles, about 72% drive on the right.

Traffic is a film directed by Steven Soderbergh that explores the intricacies of the illegal drug trade from a number of perspectives: user, politician, trafficker. It stars Michael Douglas.Based loosely around the Channel 4 television series Traffik, the film avoids sanctimony and was responsible for renewed discussion of drug issues in the United States.
Soderbergh won an Academy Award for Directing for the film.
Rumour has it that George W. Bush sat down with his drug czar and told him to watch Traffic, saying, this is what the drug situation is like in America.

In Britain, in the heady days of 1968, bands were compelled to focus on their musical ambitions with regard to a multitude of possible routes. The Beatles had established a position at the apex of studio produced psychedelia, with Pink Floyd arguably leading the way in live psychedelic performance. Despite being apparantly indistinguishable from today's perspective, live psychedelic performances at that time were quite different affairs to their counterpart studio-spun head-trips. Groups existed in the shadow of the Beatles declaration that they would stop performing their work live, anywhere, from 1966 on. This was a luxury only they could afford, and one that marked them as unassailable within the self-styled [and self-conscious] rock aristocracy. Released in 1968, 'Traffic' was a ,Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Traffic (album)."
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Traffic was a 1970s rock band led by Steve Winwood. With Jim Capaldi, Chris Wood and Dave Mason, the band formed after Winwood left the Spencer Davis Group. Their debut single was 1967's "Paper Sun", a UK hit. "Hole in My Shoe", the second single, was an even bigger hit, and set the stage for a rivalry between Winwood and Mason, the group's principal songwriters. Their debut album was Mr. Fantasy which, like the singles, was a hit in the UK but not in the US or elsewhere. Their second album, Traffic, was released in 1968. The band began touring the US, but Mason was fired and Winwood announced the band's break-up. Winwood formed Blind Faith but after that band split in 1969 he began working on a solo recording which eventually turned into another Traffic album, John Barleycorn Must Die, their most successful album yet.After some personnel changes (including the return of Mason), Traffic released The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys, an American hit that didn't chart in the UK. Once again, personnel problems wracked the band as Capaldi began a solo career. Still, Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory was another hit, as was When the Eagle Flies (1974 in music). Capaldi's solo career began to heat up, and Winwood finally launched one of his own, recording the smash hit album Arc of a Diver. Winwood's solo career peaked with the album Back in the High Life. Traffic did not record again until 1994, when they released Far From Home. After re-uniting, Capaldi and Winwood toured widely but were unable to regain their former stature.

Emo Philips | I was driving down the highway, and I'm swerving all over, coz I'm trying to change the radio, and just as I get the old one taken out I hear this traffic cop behind me, "Whee-oo, whee-oo, whee-oo!" Well, I shouldn't make fun of his speech impediment. He asks me to walk in a straight line, so I do, then he asks me, "You call that a straight line?" Well, I should have said, I *should* have said, "Yes." But I was nervous and the only thing I could think of was "Well, Officer Pythagoras, the closest you'll ever come to a straight line is if they do an electroencephalagram of your own brainwave." |
