Solving Traffic Jam

An interesting thing I found when I joined the trip to Hoalian is during the traffic jam on the street to go upstream. There is only one way direction to pass by since the street is not so large. It is impossible for two buses from different direction to pass. But, it happened during that day. There was a mistake in communication between the driver and the traffic sign. Here, if vehicles want to pass, especially bus, there will be an announcement sent to the driver telling whether it is available or not for them to go. A misscommunication happened that time. Finally, there were some buses from different direction meet in the middle of the street, in a cave. Terrible! So, how the drivers solve this problem? Each driver has a communication tool so it makes easy for them to communicate each other. They were communicating and discussing to solve it. All the passangers are still inside the bus. None of them go out from bus. There were no quarrels among the drivers or the passengers. They tried so hard to solve it without being angry. Finally, one of Professor, he is one of members of Traffic Bureau, he tried to help in solving this problem. The driver still used the communication tool to give some suggestion or asking something. The driver in the front will transfer the idea to the next driver behind them. They communicated one another and tried to move slowly by slowly with the command from Professor Wang. At last, the buses can pass without any accident happened. Professor Wang explained that a street is always designed for two cars. It must be have 3 cm distance left. So, it can make the two buses pass. But, of course, it needs to be very carefull and also excellent drivers to drive. Otherwise, the accident cannot be hindranced.
