Traffic.io is a free puzzle game you can play right here in your browser. The core of it is .io games and car. It works the same on desktop, tablet and phone, and your progress picks up where the game left it.
About Traffic.io
In Traffic.io, you have to prevent crashes. You can stop and start cars by tapping on them. This game is quite challenging after few seconds.
How to play Traffic.io
Getting started takes about ten seconds. Keep a hand on the arrow keys / WASD; everything else is listed in the controls table. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. Nothing is lost by trying something reckless once.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys / WASD | Drive and steer |

On mobile: Tap and swipe on screen. Turn your phone sideways — this game is designed for landscape and fills a horizontal screen.
Why it is worth playing
What keeps Traffic.io worth returning to is how quickly a single round resolves. It respects your time — you are never more than a click from another attempt. A browser game does not need to be more than that.
