My First Congestion

Another delight from Copenhagenize.

Perhaps one could, with Lego Mindstorms, create an electronic congestion charging cordon?

    The ingenious jam game. This from the country where school children’s summer vacation’s are regionally staggered to help minimize traffic jams on the autobahns.

    Mike Krüger anyone?

    Ja wir sind die Stauer, wir stehn auf Stau,
    wir finden jeden Stau eine Schau

    Great puzzle. Not just for kids, contrary to the cartoony box. Imagine if real roads had cars and trucks driving perpendicular to each other. That would be a serious traffic jam.

    I have this game too. I have once seen scaled-up version of this games, I think about 10 times the size of the “original” one.
