Yep! All it takes is one person braking, and then the person behind braking, then the person behind them, and eith each braking the overall speed slows down more and more. It creates a wave of traffic. The wave passes through. The starting point I think moves back further and further.
I think the issue is more or less slow drivers. One asshole is going 60 in a 70 in the left lane which caused people to pass them which in turn cause the cascade from the maneuvering around the slow person.
Slow drivers are far more dangerous than people don’t 10 15 over the speed limit.
That is exactly what I’m suggesting. And so are the sources I provided.
But let me be clear. People who go slow on purpose in high speed areas are a danger for people trying to go faster. I’m not taking about people speeding recklessly. I’m talking people going 60 in a 70 or 20 in a 35. They cause other drivers to maneuver around them which could cause a situation.

I think about it a lot while I sit in traffic.

You are incorrect. You are the cause of the traffic jam lol, literally.

Some times you people don’t even know what you’re downvoting.
Are you trying to suggest that driving at higher speeds is safer than driving at lower speeds? Because that goes against the laws of physics

If people pass quickly, then get out of the left lane, nobody needs to brake and start a compression wave
So an entire third of the road is basically left empty so people can speed?
Yes? You arrange the fastest cars at the front and the slowest cars at the back, and the whole blob of traffic spreads out.
