Experimental features of the emergence of moving jams in free traffic flow

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Conditions and features of jam emergence in free traffic flow are found. Observations show that a `free flow → jam' phase transition can occur only if the formation of synchronized flow is strongly hindered due to a non-homogeneity, in particular at a traffic split on a highway.
