La causa fundamental de la congestión es la fricción o interferencia entre los vehículos en el flujo de tránsito. Hasta un cierto nivel de tránsito, los vehículos pueden circular a una velocidad relativamente libre, determinada por los límites de velocidad, la frecuencia de las intersecciones, y otros condicionantes. Sin embargo, a volúmenes mayores, cada vehículo adicional estorba el desplazamiento de los demás, es decir, comienza el fenómeno de la congestión. 2, record 1, Spanish, - congesti%C3%B3n
