Spending time on both continents - I prefer the American approach in this. Starting and stopping slows down the throughput, also, as a driver, I prefer to sit still for 2 minutes than to stop and go every 20seconds.
Side-story, on the Burning Man entrance, there is always a multi-hour traffic jam (one road, thousamds of cars, for 70km or sth).
A few years ago they introduced a system where they only allow the cars to move once an hour. That way, you drive for a few minutes, and then stop and chill until the next movement window. Way better than having to be constantly alert for next 100m moveme t every few minutes.
