Traffic circle (or p100 traffic jam) is a period-100 oscillator found by Noam Elkies on October 15, 1994.[1] It works by using four fumaroles and four molds to hassle a traffic jam so that it moves around in a circle.
GUYTU6J and iNoMed found a glider synthesis for this oscillator on June 1, 2021.[2]
