You just have to go to a junction where the lights have failed to see how much better the traffic manages itself, even in rush hour!
Drove into St Ives the other day and the traffic lights where broken. Normally there are queues of traffic in every direction but not this time, just slowed down to about 10/15 mph and straight across. Went through junction a few times that day exactly the same each time. Obviously the same wouldn't be true at all junctions but it makes you wonder.
