 Traffic Jam Explanation
When the cause of a freeway traffic jam, e.g., an accident, a brief stall, a temporarily overcrowded freeway entrance or exit, etc., is removed or is no longer in effect, the jam does not disappear instantaneously.
The evolving jam moves over the freeway in the direction opposite to traffic, affecting it far from the location of the original cause.
If the incident happens when traffic is saturated (numbers in the cells equal to 8 in our example), or if it happens inside a queue (numbers greater than 8), the fronts and backs of queue generated by the incident move at the same speed and the queue does not die down.
