Look, Ma, No Traffic Signals

Could this work in the United States? Ron Utt with the Heritage Institute offers (tongue in cheek, I think) this example from India of “a novel Libertarian/ Communitarian fusion for a cost effective, multi-modal approach to a signal-free system of traffic flow.” Whether he’s kidding or not, it makes you wonder.

    Jim,
    You may not know this but each person here has a pre-programmed computer chip implanted in his brain. That’s why there are no collisions. I think Tata of India makes them.

    I have been to India many times. This kind of traffic “control” is pretty common. As a passenger, I have found it best not to look out the window when travelling by car. The vehicles (there are a lot of jitneys and trucks) drive very close to each other. Yet, somehow, I have never been in a crash or even seen a crash.
