The motorway has been inspired the creators of the Internet. The International network is called the information superhighway, and the similarity with road and physical traffic is similar. The cars act like data packages and there are a crossroads and another kind of things in the physical world, what are in the different for on the Internet. The international network is similar but different looking concept than the motorway, but the working principles are the same. When we are sending the data packages to the net, we would probably not know, that some packages have right of way right.
And they are allowed to go first in the net, and in those cases, the router would collect other packages in the memory, and store them until the right of way packages have passed that router. After that, they are allowed to continue their trip on the Internet. The Internet is more flexible than the motorway because it can fix its symmetry, and that would make possible to see the movies by using the net. The system would reserve more space in the cable in the side of incoming data traffic, and the sending side would not need to be so wide. In fact, one bit would be enough for uploading side during the movie.
If the person wants to use some other service during the movie, would the system release more width for that use. If somebody wants to upload photos or movies, would the bandwidth released more in that purpose, on the side of sending data. The idea is, that the system would tell the router before, that there would be coming more data than usual, and the router would adjust the width of the transmission. Also, the system tells the router, what homepage is on the top, and if the film is not interesting, can the system decrease the bandwidth, what is reserved for that movie.
If the motorways would be so flexible as the Internet is, the number of the lanes would be changed by need, and the traffic surveillance systems would tell the road information screens how many lanes can be used in another way traffic. The idea of this system bases the idea, that in many rush-hours the other side of the motorway is actually empty, and there could be taken extra lanes for traffic, but there is only one problem. The center barriers deny that thing. But if the markings would be clear, and the screens would tell the people, that the outer lanes are reserved for the people, who are going outside of the city area, could this system even work, and this would give the idea for flexible highways, and in somewhere they can already exist.
