Sentences to ponder

Jason Kottke reports:

The collective optimization of individual driving routes by drivers using realtime traffic maps slows everyone down.
That is, everyone picking the "fastest" route on the map results in
overall slowdowns. Interestingly, the solution to this problem may be
to remove some roads so that drivers have fewer options for route
optimization.

Here is more.  To how many other problems can this point be applied?
