For other uses, see Gridlock (disambiguation).The red cars are those causing the gridlock by stopping in the middle of the intersection.Gridlock is a term describing an inability to move on a transport network.The term gridlock is also widely used to describe high traffic congestion with minimal flow (a "traffic jam"), whether or not a blocked grid system is involved.Cause
The traditional form of gridlock is caused by traffic heading in one direction blocking cross traffic at an intersection.If drivers follow this rule of the road, gridlock will be prevented and traffic will only be slow in the direction that is actually congested.One method of reducing gridlock is to aggressively enforce penalties for vehicles which block intersections.Gridlock is sometimes cited as an example of the prisoner's dilemma (from game theory).Mutual cooperation among drivers would give the maximum benefit (prevention of gridlock), but this may not happen because of the desire to maximize one's own benefit (shortest travel time) given the uncertainty about the other drivers' commitment to cooperation.Vehicles and pedestrians "blocking the box" in New York City.Noise pollution can be aggravated by excessive starting and stopping noise of gridlocked facilities.Etymology

The Doctor returns to a much grittier New Earth with Martha, to meet the Face of Boe one final time.But as New New York becomes a deadly trap, the streets are deserted except for shady Pharmacists.The Doctor learns that the couple, along with all the other traffic on the road, has also only traveled a short distance in several years, their vans having become their homes, with children having been born since the start of the gridlock.Brannigan helps the Doctor to locate the vehicle containing his companion, heading towards the Fast Lane.As the Doctor watches, Milo's van is nearly caught by one Macra's huge claw, but Martha realizes that the beings are attracted by the light and motion generated by the van, and has Milo cut the down, saving them from the beasts but leaving them with only a few minutes of air.Some time later, Martha meets up with the Doctor and Novice Hame are tending over the Face of Boe's impending death.The Doctor tries to encourage the Face of Boe to live, as both the Doctor and the Face of Boe are the last of their respective kinds, but it understands that "Everything has its time" and in its dying breath, whispers the secret it promised to tell the Doctor before: "you are not alone".The Doctor appears to have resolved his dislike of cats (as stated in "Fear Her") by this episode, in which he pets some of Brannigan's children and later hugs Novice Hame.The Face of Boe reminds the Doctor that "everything has its time", previously said by the Ninth Doctor in "The End of the World" and by Sarah Jane Smith in "School Reunion".However, in the DVD commentary for "Utopia", Davies again mentions the ADR line, but omits mention of Jack's fate being only a "theory".It was not until "The Sound of Drums" and "Last of the Time Lords" that the meaning of the phrase and the significance of the Face of Boe's origins were discussed.As Martha wakes up in the car, she hears her kidnappers claim that the skies above smell of apple grass.In "New Earth", the Doctor shows off apple grass to Rose.Production
