Traffic Jam

Traffic congestion, inefficient speeds and idling at red lights vex the fuel conscious driver.

Some of today's top mathematicians and inventors are creating ways to not only reduce a travelers time at a red light, but also to improve all types of transportation. Check out some of their ideas:
