Traffic Jams

Today, during our Time to Talk session, we looked at Traffic Jams. We talked about what it means when vehicles are stuck in a jam.

To see what a traffic jam looks like, we created a road map.  We cut out lots of different pieces of road and placed cars in a big queue.

The reason for this traffic jam was because there were some road works happening.

We talked about other reasons a traffic jam might happen.

Here are our thoughts:

Too many cars trying to go to the same place – Aria

Red lights making all the cars stop – Saoirse

Building a new road – Dylan

We re-created a car crash and talked about how this can cause a traffic jam. We then explored how difficult it is for the emergency services to get through the traffic to reach the incident.
