Wouldn't you know, I asked for links while MSDN blog comments are closed for maintenance.

Fortunately, my readers are too smart to be foiled by such a minor technical hurdle. Since you are unable to comment here directly right now, I shall summarize suggestions:

• Peter Pimley - http://trafficwaves.org/trafexp.html - "I have started to drive like this, and it's really satisfying to be the one who prevents a wave of braking"

• Fabio - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braess's_paradox

• Eli - http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/02/anttraffic/, http://www.physorg.com/news157627187.html

• Adrian - http://iopscience.iop.org/0034-4885/65/9/203/

• Roel Reijerse - http://www.maerivoet.org/website/phdresearch/dissertation/resources/presentation.pdf

• @deadpxlsociety - http://www.ejtp.com/articles/ejtpv7i23p123.pdf

• @BigBlackBlock - http://www.ptt.uni-duisburg.de/en/home/

• @roytries - http://www.physicscentral.org/buzz/blog/index.cfm?postid=3414795237807494042

• @mark_a2 - http://www.trb.org

• @mrhelmut - take a look at Bando et al. "dynamical model of traffic congestion and numerical simulation" 1995. Many models exist.

• @BarrySkellern - "Critical Mass: How One Thing Leads to Another" by Philip Ball is interesting but not too deep. Some stuff on traffic flow.

Last but not least, @FieldsOfCarp suggested this Xbox LIVE Indie game:

Thanks all!  Looks like I have some interesting reading in my future  :-)
