Do you fancy yourself a traffic expert? I sure don’t, but thought my status as an observant urbanist might lend itself to a decent score. Well, after submitting to the Tierney Lab Traffic Quiz, I only got two questions out of ten right. So much for that. Think you can beat me? Take the quiz.
TM thanks Kathryn for the link.

5 out of 10! (but I guessed a lot…)
Well, I got a 7/10, but I am a Transportation Engineer… Could have done better…
Good Quiz, Mike…
7/10
I got four out of 10. But that’s pretty good because I don’t know much about traffic patterns and flow.
4 out of 10.
I got 5 out of 10. Not all of the questions were clear. Maybe written for traffic “insiders”. And I guessed on the question that used KPH instead of MPH. I figured any speed spread would have the same effect.
6/10 and learned some important things. Thanks!
This transportation engineer got a 5 out of 10. The defensive driving class I took helped me more than the transportation classes I had. But then, I didn’t take traffic engineering. Maybe that’s where you studied these topics, Gabe?
I scored 4 out of 10, but not from any knowledge about the details, more from guessing toward the most depressing answers to contemplate. Plenty of food for thought here- thanks for posting the link!
