self-organization in hanoi traffic

[utubepredator]

I supposed if there was something in the very middle of the intersection (a rock, a monument etc), and given constant dense traffic, some kind of rotary / roundabout would appear.

Looks like fun ~ I'm just watching for that corner building to collapse ~ nice construction!

Requires and teaches patience too.

wonderful video, thanks! At such a steady, constant and relatively slow pace, it seems like a much more human place than the cars stopping for lights and then zipping off like crazy maniacs only to be stopped again 30 seconds later wasting gas and making a lot more loud noise.

This is my internal world of thought. I dont know why I do things, I just do things. I have no plan, no organisation but it works so beautifully though. To an outsider it seems so random. I am chaos and out of chaos there comes such harmony

I don't know how they shop with motor bikes. Amazing.

Enomarekim misses the point - its nothing to do with la la la fat cats, its to do with self organisation and like flocks of birds in flight, this is a classic example (although a little more random). Here in the UK there is quite a strong movement against traffic lights simply because it slows the traffic down. Note too that there are not street markings here (and being only four roads this is quite a good idea)

Every one would die without Traffic lights!(stick fingers in ears, blind fold self) " la la la la la la la la la la la la, capitlalism is evil, la la la la la la, corporate fat cats, la la la la...."
