* [[School]] opening times arranged to avoid rush hour traffic (in some countries, private car school pickup and drop-off traffic are substantial percentages of peak hour traffic).{{Citation needed|date=April 2008}}
* Considerate driving behavior promotion and enforcement. Driving practices such as [[tailgating]], frequent lane changes, and impeding the flow of traffic can reduce a road's capacity and exacerbate jams. In some countries signs are placed on highways to raise awareness, while others have introduced legislation against inconsiderate driving.
* Visual barriers to prevent drivers from slowing down out of curiosity (often called "[[rubbernecking]]" in the United States). This often includes crashes, with traffic slowing down even on roadsides physically separated from the crash location. This also tends to occur at construction sites, which is why some countries have introduced rules that motorway construction has to occur behind visual barrier
* [[Speed limit]] reductions, as practiced on the [[M25 motorway]] in London. With lower speeds allowing cars to drive closer together, this increases the capacity of a road. Note that this measure is only effective if the [[Interval (time)|interval]] between cars is reduced, not the distance itself. Low intervals are generally only safe at low speeds.
* [[Lane splitting|Lane splitting/filtering]], in which some jurisdictions allow [[motorcycle]]s, [[scooter (motorcycle)|scooters]] and bicycles to travel in the space between cars, buses, and trucks.<ref>{{Cite journal | title=Glossary | url=http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/people/injury/pedbimot/motorcycle/00-NHT-212-motorcycle/glossary71-72.html | journal=National Agenda for Motorcycle Safety | publisher=[[US Department of Transportation]] [[National Highway Traffic Safety Administration]]/[[Motorcycle Safety Foundation]] | access-date=September 18, 2010 | archive-date=April 6, 2010 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100406110515/http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/PEOPLE/injury/pedbimot/motorcycle/00-NHT-212-motorcycle/glossary71-72.html | url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="NHSTA">{{cite web |publisher=Motorcycle Glossary.com |title=Define:Lane Splitting |url=http://motorcycle-glossary.com/lane-splitting/150 |access-date=January 6, 2009 |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090106054119/http://motorcycle-glossary.com/lane-splitting/150 |archive-date=January 6, 2009 }}</ref>
