last Sunday an accident caused a traffic jam 12 miles long on a stretch of a two lane freeway. How many cars do you think were in the traffic jam? Explain your thinking and show all calculations.
There could be several reasons why a traffic accident in a northbound lane will cause a traffic jam in the southbound lane. If the street is only two lanes, traffic in the southbound lane can be interrupted while northbound traffic is let through.

This would depend on the location and severity of the accident. An accident occurring in a high traffic area with a fatality, could cause not only large traffic congestions, but members of said community to grieve the loss of a fatality. A minor fender bender on a backroad would likely occur with little to no impact on anyone but those involved. An accident occurring where hazardous chemicals are spilled could cause a disruption in said community as well. Chemcials like fuel may cause fires and drain into storm drains and pollute water tables. So, in conclusion, it would really depend on the severity and location of the accident.
