HOW NOT TO GET STUCK IN TRAFFIC: EXPERT EDITION:
Don't bother driving. Cycle or take a bus or train to your destination. Ideally, these modes won't share space with cars, and in some case are completely capacity-independent.
(this solution assumes the availability of these modes to be adequate. Contact your local representative if this is not the case. If your local representative insists on making more space for cars, vote them out of office)

所以比較好的方式就是交通尖峰期，非路口變換車道的人直接開罰單就可以減少塞車的問題
前面那個好煩一直亂踩煞車又往前大踩油門媽的低能，然後你換道你爽了後面的全部被延遲，所以瑞典警察直接在尖峰時間快速道路開滿警車卡死換車道，就降低塞車的機率，所以會塞車都是那些低能造成的而不是新手駕駛造成，多幾個這種低能兒在那邊害人害己整個交通就癱瘓

Misuse of the passing lane is a large contributor to traffic congestion. It forces everyone to slow down and use their brakes, which causes the chain effect leading to grid lock. It's ok to speed up beyond the limit to safely and quickly pass another car, then immediately move back into the travel lane. This encourages traffic to speed up and keep moving, rather than braking and slowing down.

Here’s three ways to keep traffic flowing:
1. Get off your damn phone. If you have to pipe in music, use an AUX cord or Apple CarPlay.
2. Just. Keep. Going. Once the light turns green, your hand needs to fling the gear into 1st and head off. Furthermore, we are taxpayers in our respective countries. Use the hard shoulder, Lexus lanes and tighten up to continue on. In the case of Lexus lanes, get on and off in between gantries to prevent being billed by mail by turnpike cunts.
3. Take the bus. It might be a taxing experience, but at least if you have a car, you have more petrol for the week ahead, should you decide to drive.

Drive less
Avoid driving during peak traffic hours if possible.
Keep right. Dont hog the passing lane. Move aside.
At least drive the speed limit. (To the slow drivers)

I used to work in the Prudential in Boston, MA. More people would take public transit if public transit was reliable. It made me late for work too many times, so I drove instead.

You cannot compete with India in terms of Traffic. Nobody follows the rules.
Just go wherever you find a way.
