How to play Traffic

1. Two roads meet at a crossing with one set of lights. Only one road has green at a time.
2. Tap anywhere to switch the green to the other road.
3. A car that’s already past its stop line keeps going. Switch while one is still crossing and the other road’s cars hit it.
4. Cars stop and queue at a red light. If four are waiting on one road, it jams and the run ends.
5. Each road gets a rush hour, one after the other. Get twenty cars through to clear it.

Tips

• Switch when the crossing is empty, not when a car is halfway over.
• Give the busy road long greens, but don’t forget the other queue.
• The “waiting” count by each road warns you before a jam.
