traffic self-management

traffic management without the presence of traffic cops on the roads. Under such a system, drivers and pedestrians strictly obey the traffic rules, e.g. by following the traffic light system, as if there were traffic cops managing traffic.

Traffic self-management is like a hard nut to crack when it comes to implementing it.
