Comments from Judges
Good progress on a project with excellent Potential. But, their code had cars crashing in right turn lanes. Instead of debugging it they removed right turn lanes, which were an important part of the model. --Drew 07:57, 3 May 2012 (PDT)

Henry_Neeman: This project is interesting because its topic is on the one hand somewhat prosaic, but on the other hand extremely practical. The team has done a good job of describing the problem and their simulation. Their thought processes regarding driving behaviors are clearly laid out. The project would have been enhanced by discussing some of these issues with traffic engineers, to gain more insight into how such issues are addressed at the professional level. This might also have afforded opportunities to job shadow these engineers, to learn more about the practice of traffic engineering and urban planning.
