On roadways flooded with Sloths, you do get further down the road. Many traffic jams are caused by LLBs or when a lane is closed. The problem is that the traffic doesn't return to normal speed after pbutting the obstruction, so the traffic congestion continues to increase until there's a long traffic jam. By getting in front of more Sloths, travel time can be reduced by a significant amount. Like this problem of one lane closed, traffic must merge to the left. The speed of traffic drops to less than 20 and traffic becomes very congested. After pbutting the work zone, traffic does not return to that lane and speeds barely go past 50. This congestion causes a longer jam, and there's a long area of roadway in front of the jam where there is no traffic. By moving in front of the Sloths, you can enter this empty section and notice that there's no traffic behind you for 3 km or more. This also happens at traffic lights. I was waiting in a left turn lane and noticed that the minivan driver on the right and the driver behind me were creeping forward like they were in a hurry to get through the light. I moved on green and went five blocks before they finished the turn. These Sloths are the reason that traffic becomes congested.
