Do you know what kind of traffic has the greatest acceleration?

368 DO YOU KNOW what kind of traffic has the greatest acceleration? Not cars. Not cycles or motor- cycles. Not buses or trams. Not even trolley-buses ... PEDESTRIANS — men, women, and children — are a most important part of the traffic. Strange as it seems, they have greater initial acceleration — move faster for the first yard or so — than anything else on the roads. And they can make by far the swiftest changes of direction. Not all of us, when we are walking, realize the limitations of cars and vans and buses and cycles, compared with ourselves.
