Online Game Puts You in Control of Traffic

Have you ever sat at a stoplight and thought, "Who controls the traffic lights?" or "How do they decide when the light should change?" or most importantly "Why is there so much traffic?!"

Now you can try your hand at controlling traffic with this fun (and sometime frustrating) online game created by the Institute of Technology’s Intelligent Transportation Systems Institute. "Gridlock Buster" allows you to use the tools and ideas that transportation engineers use in everyday life to try your hand at solving the traffic-gridlock blues.

Learn more about the game and give it a go...but watch out for the "frustration meter." I learned from experience that the angry drivers in this game will start honking if you keep them waiting too long!
