An idea of solving traffic congestion

Thats quite a bold claim is n't it? everywhere in the world, be it developed or developing nations people spend zillions of hour stuck in traffic. It's an omnipresent problem. Better city planning, more public transportation is definitely some way of solving the problem.

I have a totally different approach, which relies on randomness of events. Suppose, you generally leave home to go to office around 815AM every morning. You catch a train or drive your car or whatever. Similarly, every other person generally has a fixed time of leaving home for work or school unless they have a different appointment at a different time.

What I suggest you to do is to leave randomly at a time interval say, between 8:05AM and 8:25AM(8:15AM being the mid point of them). The idea is if everyone follows the same principle it will smooth out the traffic congestion. For example, look at the difference between a traffic signal and a stop sign. For a stop sign, a distance is created between two consecutive cars. The problem with this approach is everyone has to follow the same principle for it to work. One can get a random number generator to generate one between two intervals.
