Description

It's finally the traffic podcast you've been promised on this Wednesday Buckeye Talk, as Doug Lesmerises is joined by Ohio State professor Dr. Benjamin Coifman.
Dr. Coifman is a traffic expert who studies traffic flow and driver dynamics, among other things, and he's here to talk about all the things that drive you nuts on the road and the way we maybe can all be a bit better out there.
The topics:

(0:30) How people think they drive compared to other people

(9:05) Ohio State traffic on gameday and how the school handles it

(16:28) Leaving gaps at a traffic light

(23:06) Roundabouts

(28:24) Etiquette when merging in construction

(36:22) When traffic appears for no reason

(42:32) What individual drivers can do to help traffic

(48:15) The future of autonomous vehicles


We like the occasional off-topic offseason pod, and thanks as always for listening to Buckeye Talk.
