If we consider the small petrol car, which many people would have, it is far more inefficient when travelling below 50 km/h. It is the same at 50 km/h, but it is highly inefficient at 30 km/h. It is very inefficient at 20 km/h, and it is highly inefficient altogether at 10 km/h. It is best at 60 km/h. Going back to the question, the model is really built around getting free-flowing traffic moving in or around that 50 km/h or 60 km/h range. Am I correct in that and in saying that it should be free-flowing?
