My heuristic when trying to help get rid of a traffic jam is this:
> Maintain a higher minimum speed (and the same or higher average speed) than the car in front of you.
The only reason why traffic jams ever disappear is that people are doing this. Most of the time I guess the true root cause is that incoming traffic is dissipating, though.
