Circular Dodger Parking Kvetching/Linking

SOSG:
[...]parking did seem a little less chaotic getting in (there certainly are tons of attendants pointing you around), but it was a disaster leaving. This may have been due to Opening Day, but I noticed as I exited the stadium that they had stacked a line of cars in the second lane of the inner ring. This was very bizarre, for if you were trying to exit the stadium (by exiting the ring to the left), you couldn't do it at many of the regular exits due to this random ring of parked cars. Why they didn't stack this ring against the outside circumference of the ring, I don't understand. I'll give the parking staff a break since Opening Day is always crazy (I distinctly remember one time I was forced to park above the Think Blue sign and run down the hill in wingtips and a suit), so I'll check out the parking scene again later this week.
Then there's John Stodder's visual via no-"h" Jon. The most appalling thing about all of this is that it seems to have been assembled by amateurs. But even if it wasn't, one thing I learned back in the day was that even the so-called traffic "experts" know very little. About a decade ago, I worked on the 91 Expressway, writing automated congestion detection software. The literature on this topic is remarkably thin, and hadn't really changed since the 1970's.
