4.	Description	Abstract	Initially a car is placed with probability $p$ at each site of the two-dimensional integer lattice. Each car is equally likely to be East-facing or North-facing, and different sites receive independent assignments. At odd time steps, each North-facing car moves one unit North if there is a vacant site for it to move into. At even time steps, East-facing cars move East in the same way. We prove that when $p$ is sufficiently close to 1 traffic is jammed, in the sense that no car moves infinitely many times. The result extends to several variant settings, including a model with cars moving at random times, and higher dimensions.
