			* Make people walk through different halls: have one hallway up and one down, versus both both directions
			** Should take less time even if it does walk longer
			* Maybe we don't need to do a lot of physical stuff with this one since people are already familiar with traffic
			* Idea: bunch of cars that have to get somewhere, and you have a limited amount of concrete and traffic control and you have to get cars from point a to point b, and you can control how long and control the lights

			== Comments ==
			Pros
			* A lot of people have already researched this, and it's easy to validate by standing out and watching traffic in an intersection
			* Some statistics and probability

			Cons
			* Not much science behind this

			Comments
			* Could be a good one to teach the verification and validation process

The simulation would involve modeling a section of traffic to see results of uses of traffic control devices. The validation/verification part of this could be to observe an actual section of traffic here in Richmond.
