| Abstract: | The authors study interaction on a two-lane road between the trips of two types of drivers who differ by their desired speeds. The difference in desired speeds causes congestion, because slow vehicles force fast vehicles to reduce their speed. They find that the marginal external costs of slow vehicles are a decreasing function of the number of slow vehicles. |
