In India people use the same algorithms of disordered ordered movement used by flocks of sheep or cattle. Unrelated to lanes is Indian crowd behavior at a single exit point such as a ticket or post office counter. The crowd establishes itself in a triangular fashion with the counter/exit point at he apex. Individual ranks are suppressed so that the first in may not be the first to go through, but a general trend of earlier in-earlier through is maintained - just like cows at a gate. Any road is treated that way and the slowest chokepoint becomes the apex of a triangle. shiv
