...it's also called "rubber-banding" where traffic cyclically 'bunches up" and "stretches out" over and over again.
...one (ugh!) countermeasure to this are California's "on-ramp" traffic-lamps which keep the number of "on-rampers" trying to get onto the freeway at a single time (usually right after a cross-street red-light) from "crowding" the slow-speed (right) freeway lane.
...a single Highway Patrol car in the high-speed lane also works too.
