What It Shows
This infographic shows how a simple driving error creates a chain reaction of congestion on the road.
Why It’s Good
It is visually striking. That wavy road grabs attention, and the rest of the art is equally well-done. I really like how the wave in the road represents the shockwave of traffic effect.
What It’s Missing
Cool as it is, there aren’t exactly mind-boggling conclusions here. The point made about the funnel effect makes sense, and is interesting, but there isn’t that much to it. Still, it’s well made and fun to look at.
The infographic has circulated the web, but never from its true source at a large Ohio Newspaper, The Plain Dealer. Here’s the original PDF file.
