This misses the point -- Microsoft may be evil, but you can't stop the laws of nature. Microsoft may only be accelerating the process, so to speak.
My grandfather, a plumber, taught me how one could use water flow to describe all sorts of mechanical systems. The analogy got me through E&M Physics in college. It also works particularly well for traffic engineering. People will figure out where a cut-through exists, and what word of mouth cannot accomplish, technology will.
We should use this socially-irresponsible "Clearflow" to bolster our requests for traffic calming, perhaps even street closures.
Wow. That really is evil. Time to ask the police to enforce speed limits on the side streets. That should limit traffic a bit.
