    During rush hour you definitely won’t have a distance of 10 meters between each car though.

      If they’re moving there should be, and if not it doesn’t seem fair to me to compare transport to a car park.

      If the cars are moving at over 5m/s then there will be for minimum safe followong distance.

      If they are moving under that, you don’t have a transport system that is more capable than a brisk walk.

        5 m/s is 18kph or ~11mph.

        40kph safe stopping distance is 26 meters dry, 30 meters wet. I can’t even find data below 40 kph, but 10m would be reaction time alone (no bake time)

      Sure, but only because they aren’t moving. It should be about the distance traveled in a couple seconds. Less then that and you get a lot of wrecks, so brand new problems.
